Up to five writers. One family plan.
A parent starts with their email, then creates separate writer profiles. Everyone gets 14 days of full access. After that, writing and the library stay free. The family plan is $8 a month or $80 a year if the extras are worth keeping.
14 days of full access. No credit card required.
How a family account works
1. Parent email
A parent or guardian enters their email and signs in with a one-time code.
2. Consent first
The adult confirms consent before Humdrum stores any child information.
3. Writer profiles
Create up to five separate profiles so each writer has their own stories, tools, and library.

A simple first week
Day 1
Make one writer profile. Let the child pick a prompt or roll Story Dice, then write a little.
Same week
Open the same story or begin another. Try a Side Quest if the child wants more structure.
No quota
There is no assigned number of minutes and no streak to protect. A little writing still counts.
After day 14
Keep the free core. Subscribe only if the extras are earning their place.
Play into habit, not points
Humdrum uses prompts, dice, and creative side quests to help a child begin. It does not use points, streaks, or leaderboards to keep them coming back.
Writing Powers notice craft the child has already tried. The child writes every word.

FAQ
How many children can share one family plan?
Up to five separate writer profiles can use one family account.
How does family signup work?
A parent or guardian enters their email, verifies with a one-time code, and gives consent before creating writer profiles.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The 14-day full-access trial does not require a credit card.
What happens on day 15?
Prompted writing, blank writing, saved stories, editing, and the library stay free. The playful extras require the $8 monthly or $80 yearly plan.
Why pay if writing stays free?
Pay if tools such as Story Dice, Side Quests, Writing Powers, Author Bio, and Haiku Journal help your child keep going. If they only want a blank page and their library, that stays free.
Can I see what my child wrote?
There is no separate parent dashboard. The parent owns the family account and can sit with the child in the account. For an export, email hello@noticehumdrum.com.
Does AI write the stories?
No. Kids write every word. AI only notices techniques that are already in the child's writing, and kids never chat with AI.
Is Humdrum a curriculum?
No. Humdrum is a creative-writing space. It can sit beside a curriculum or be used on its own for voluntary writing practice.
