Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Zealous Abode
What does "beta" mean?
We're still building and refining Zealous Abode. As a beta user you get free access to every feature — in exchange you might hit rough edges and we'll occasionally ask what's working and what isn't. Your feedback shapes what ships next.
Is the beta really free?
Yes, fully free. No credit card, no trial timer. When we eventually launch paid plans we'll email you well in advance — beta testers will get a thank-you discount.
How does the gamification system work?
Kids earn points by completing assigned tasks and chores. Parents set point values based on difficulty. Points can be redeemed for rewards you create (screen time, allowance, special activities). The family leaderboard shows who's earned the most points.
Can I connect my Google / Apple / Outlook calendar?
Yes — each of those services lets you publish a secret iCal/ICS link you can paste into Zealous Abode (Settings → Integrations). We refresh the feed automatically. Imports are read-only: changes you make here stay here.
Is my family's data secure?
Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption for all data. Your information is never sold to third parties. A self-hosted option with complete data ownership is planned for after our public launch.
What ages is this appropriate for?
Zealous Abode is designed for families with children of all ages. Role-based permissions let parents control what each family member can see and do, so you can give teens more autonomy while keeping younger kids focused on their tasks.
