Free, with no ads and no tracking · Terms · Privacy
ChalkFam is free, with no ads and no tracking. Your family's data is encrypted in your browser, so we can't read it, and we can't sell it either. That also means there is nothing to sell: running ChalkFam costs its owner real money every month. Donations help cover the running costs, but they don't guarantee ChalkFam stays available.
Donations open soon. Thank you for wanting to help.
Non-refundable. Donations are gifts and are non-refundable — including if ChalkFam changes, stops working or shuts down. You can cancel a monthly gift any time to stop future charges. Terms

What donations pay for
- These running costs first. Donations help cover them, but they don't guarantee ChalkFam stays available.
- Then new features, and the time to build them carefully, if there is money left over.
Good to know
- Donations are voluntary and unlock nothing. They don't buy any features, support or availability. Every family gets the same app, whether they give or not.
- Donations are non-refundable, in all cases, including if ChalkFam changes, stops working or shuts down. See the terms.
- Payments go through Stripe. ChalkFam never sees your card details.
- Monthly gifts can be cancelled any time to stop future charges, from the link in your Stripe receipt email. Past gifts are not refunded.
- A donation is not tax-deductible. ChalkFam is not a registered charity.
