Rigel

Run your household in one place

One app for what's for dinner, what's in the pantry, what's on the calendar and the rest of family life. Rigel is on every screen: it knows your family and makes the changes you ask for.

Rigel is in early access. Sign-up is by invitation.

You

Plan Tuesday's dinner. Nobody wants plain chicken this week.

Rigel

I planned tomato and white bean orzo for Tuesday, 30 min. We have the tomatoes and the orzo. I left the other days alone.

An example. Rigel makes the change, then says what it did.

Rigel on every screen

Rigel knows who's in your family, what's in the pantry and what's on the calendar. Ask it to plan Tuesday's dinner, or send it a photo of the pantry. It makes the change and tells you what it did. If it got something wrong, say so and it fixes it.

It asks first only before something reaches people outside your household, such as sending an email.

Works without a connection

Every device keeps its own copy of your household. Once Rigel is open, a change you make without a connection shows as waiting to sync, and goes through when you're back online.

Everyone at once

Several people can be in Rigel at the same time. You see who's online, which page each person is on, and where their pointer is. Follow someone to see what they see.

One API underneath

The web app, Rigel and your own scripts all use the same commands and queries. The reference documents 260 commands and 79 queries, each with the real requests and responses.

Start with the quickstart, or browse the reference.
