Start here

Install the bot. Pick where Family Drill runs.

The organizer verifies once and adds family emails in the bot. Relatives do not set anything up. They receive occasional surprise practice messages.

01 · Hosted

Use familydrill.com

Install the bot and let the hosted Family Drill service handle the app and email delivery. The bot template is not published yet.

See bot install instructions →

02 · Self-host

Run it on your domain

Clone the MIT-licensed app, deploy it on your own domain, and connect your own email service provider. Then point the bot to your app.

Clone the repository ↗

Either way, the flow is the same: install bot → verify organizer → add family emails → send surprise drills → review what landed.

What happens after a click?

The practice link opens an instant reveal and simple coaching. It never asks for or collects a password, Social Security number, card number, or other secret.
