Everyone to the table.
A small studio building calm, honest software for family life — tools that help a household run without adding to the noise.
Our first product, Cadent Family, is on Google Play today.
What we're building
Made with care, one at a time.
Cadent Family
A shared family organiser — one calendar, chores that earn rewards and shopping lists on everyone's phone, shared with the grandparents and coaches you choose. Photograph a paper schedule and AI turns it into calendar events you approve before anything is added.
Echo Night
A bat hunts by echo through the dark. Tap to call, and trees, water and insects light up in neon for a moment as your voice washes over them. Feed your pups before dawn. Plays fully offline, with no third-party ads and nothing collected.
Cadent Family · a product of Longtable Labs
Every family runs on paper.
School newsletters, sports cards, a note stuck to the fridge. Cadent Family puts it all in one place — photograph a schedule and it becomes calendar entries you approve, on everyone's phone at once.
Cadent Family membership $1.99/month on Google Play. Android today on Google Play; other platforms later.
Why “Cadent”?
ca·dent · /ˈkeɪd(ə)nt/ · adjective
Falling in a regular rhythm — from the Latin cadere, “to fall,” the same root as cadence. A cadence is the steady beat a thing moves to.
Every household has one: practices and pickups, dinners and bedtimes, the week's recurring shape. Cadent Family helps you keep it — together, on everyone's phone.
What it does — and only what it does
The app proposes; you decide. Every point below is built, shipped and working in the app on Google Play today.
Photograph a paper schedule
A school newsletter, a sports card, a party invite. It reads the dates, times and repeats, and shows you what it found before anything is added.
Nothing added without you
Every event it suggests is reviewed first. You keep the ones you want, drop the rest, and only then is it on everyone’s phone.
Private when it needs to be
Mark an event for everyone, just you, or a chosen few. Parents see their children’s days; grown-ups keep their own appointments to themselves.
Share with the people around your family
Give a grandparent, a co-parent in another home or a coach your contact link. Each of you keeps your own calendar and shares only the events you choose.
Chores that earn rewards
Chores earn points, with streaks and a weekly leaderboard. A parent sets the rewards, kids ask to spend their points, and a parent approves the treat. Earned stays earned.
A kitchen tablet the kids can use
Kid mode locks a shared tablet to one child’s view behind a PIN that stays on that device. They tick their chores and see their day; the rest of the family’s settings stay out of reach.
Grows up with your kids
Children don’t need accounts; a parent sets everything up. When a child is old enough for their own phone, they claim their place in the family and keep every point and streak they earned.
Everyone stays in step
Add or change something and it appears on everyone’s phone as it happens. Open the app after a day away and it catches up on its own.
More than a calendar
Shopping lists everyone adds to, reminders and alarms with quiet hours, the school or team calendar followed by link, and themes, fonts and avatars to make it yours. In 13 languages.
Snap a schedule, skip the typing
Photograph a school newsletter or a sports card and the app reads it into events — repeats and all. Nothing lands on your calendar until you review and approve it. The app proposes; you decide.
A real screen recording of the app on Google Play, narrated and captioned. It plays on a loop, muted until you turn the sound on.
More short demos
Short demos we post most days. Real screens, the same invented family. Tap to play; nothing downloads until you do. The schedule demo above is the first of them.
A look inside
Real screens from Cadent Family 1.0.9 on a tablet, using an invented sample family in the Citrus theme. No mock-ups.
Photograph the schedule. Approve what matters.
The hardest part of a shared calendar is typing everything in. Cadent Family reads a photo of a paper schedule for you — and then hands the decisions back to you.
Take a photo
Snap the school newsletter, the season card, the practice sheet — however it arrived.
It reads the dates
Cadent finds the dates, times and repeats, and shows you a plain list of what it found.
You approve
Nothing is added until you say so. Keep the events you want, drop the rest, then it's on everyone's phone — and on Grandma's, if you share it with her.
