Family operating system
What is a family operating system?
A family operating system (family OS) is one private, cloud-based place for everything a household runs on: the people, the conversations, the documents, the reminders and now the devices. KamoUniverse is a white label operating system your family can make its own.
The short definition
Family operating system (family OS) — one private platform that brings a family's chat, calls, documents, knowledge, reminders, payments and smart-home devices together, with one set of members and permissions — instead of a pile of separate apps and group chats.
What a family operating system includes
KamoUniverse organizes family life into layers. Every layer shares the same family members — people and SI — and the same permissions.
- 01
Members
Parents, kids, grandparents and an SI helper, each with the access that fits them.
- 02
Conversations
Family chat with channels, video calls in any browser, a family phone line and a shared inbox.
- 03
Documents
A vault for passports, insurance and school forms, with e-signatures and redaction.
- 04
Knowledge
A house manual everyone can search, and SI answers grounded in it.
- 05
Money
Invoices and payments through your own processor, for the reunion, the trip or the group gift.
- 06
Devices
KamoIoT brings your smart home in, with access by person — SI helpers included.

Frequently asked questions
What is a family operating system?
A family operating system (family OS) is one private, cloud-based platform that brings a family's chat, calls, documents, knowledge, reminders, payments and smart-home devices together on one shared set of members and permissions.
How is a family OS different from a family calendar app?
A family calendar keeps dates. A family operating system is where the rest of family life runs — the conversations, documents, house manual, payments and devices — and it can include an SI member that makes calls and sends reminders. KamoUniverse also syncs with the calendars you already use.
Is a family OS private?
It should be. In KamoUniverse, each family's workspace is kept separate from every other organization, role-based permissions decide what each member can see and do, and family video calls support end-to-end encryption.
Can an SI help run a family OS?
Yes. An SI member gets its own phone number and inbox. It can book appointments, send reminders, answer from your house manual and, with access, control your KamoIoT devices.
What does a family OS cost?
KamoUniverse has a free-forever plan with no credit card required. Paid plans are priced per member, and every person or SI member who signs in is one seat.
