DAKboard's New TouchHub: Your Family's Go-To Command Center
As we approach the chaotic back-to-school season, managing family life can become a daunting task. Recognizing this, DAKboard, a renowned provider of digital calendars and dashboards, has just launched
TouchHub, an innovative tool designed to help families stay organized and on track.
With over
300,000 families in
148 countries relying on DAKboard, this new enhancement transforms traditional digital displays into interactive family command centers. The goal? To consolidate essential family activities, from chores to scheduling, into a single accessible location, thus alleviating the stress on parents during busy mornings and after-school hours.
The Features of TouchHub
TouchHub stands out with its
Family Chores Manager, a feature that offers a shared chore chart where each family member has their own designated space. The simplicity of tapping a chore off the chart after completion encourages children to take responsibility and promotes good habits. Each completed chore earns points, which can be redeemed for rewards pre-selected by parents. The inclusion of a
leaderboard cultivates a sense of friendly competition while tracking accomplishments in an engaging way.
The days of endless nagging and tracking lists on whiteboards are over! The built-in
Child Lock feature ensures that kids can manage their own chores independently without affecting others’ tasks, making the whole process smoother.
Beyond Just Chores
TouchHub is not solely focused on chores; it integrates with
Home Assistant, allowing users to control smart home devices such as lights, locks, and thermostats from the wall-mounted display. With a new single touch dock, families can seamlessly switch between calendars, photos, weather updates, and more. And for those inevitable dinner questions, a
Meal Planner feature is set to arrive soon, which will help tackle the nightly 'what’s for dinner?' dilemma.
DAKboard retains its reputation as a leader in customization and usability, offering deep integrations that work on virtually any device, be it a TV, tablet, monitor, Raspberry Pi, or through its own app. This level of flexibility means families can trial TouchHub on devices they already own, no additional hardware needed.
A Solution for the Hectic Season
Katie Gensel, DAKboard’s Social Media and Marketing Manager, expressed the company’s mission: “Back-to-school is when family life gets the most hectic, and the mental load of keeping everyone on schedule usually falls on one person. We built TouchHub to put everything in one place on the wall, where the whole family can pitch in, right when routines need it most.”
TouchHub is now available under every DAKboard plan, including its free tier, making it an accessible solution for families looking to streamline their daily routines.
