Introducing Roost Family: a calm corner of the internet for your household

The same care I put into business Coops, pointed at family life. Trips, chores, storm season, the sitter's cheat sheet. As many Coops as your family needs, everyone included. Here's why I built it.

Roost started as a studio for small businesses. But the more Coops I built, the more my own family kept sneaking into the work. A storm-prep Coop for my husband. A yard sale Coop for a friend. A beach week that suddenly ran itself. None of these were businesses. They were just family life, made a little calmer by a warm little tool.

So I made it official. Roost Family is here.

What it is

The same craft I put into a business Coop, pointed at your household. As many family Coops as you need: a trip, a sale, storm season, the sitter's cheat sheet, the family Nest for everyday life. Everyone you share with is included, no per-person pricing, no counting seats. A family of eight pays the same as a family of three.

the promise

Unlimited means unlimited. When you want your next Coop, you ask, and I build it. Your family gets a calm corner of the internet that grows with you.

Why it is a subscription, not a build fee

Business Coops are a one-time build because a business usually knows what it needs. Families are different. Life keeps handing you new moments: the trip you did not know you were taking, the season that snuck up, the new kid activity that needs its own home. A small monthly membership means you can just ask for the next Coop when life calls for it, instead of commissioning a project every time.

Nine dollars a month, or ninety a year. Cancel anytime with one email. There is a live demo you can open with no account, so you can feel what it is like before you decide.

Why I really built it

Because the tools that run our family lives are terrible. Group texts that lose the important thing three scrolls up. Shared notes nobody updates. Six apps that each do one tenth of what you need. I wanted my own family to have something better, and it turned out other families wanted it too.

A calm corner of the internet, shaped around how your family actually lives. That is Roost Family. Come home.
