About

A small company that brings order to chaos.

Kerfuffle Labs LLC is an independent software company in Massachusetts. We build software that brings order to everyday chaos. Our first product is Family Rumpus, a family assistant for households with kids.

Who we are

Kerfuffle Labs is small and founder-led, and was organized in September 2026. Our first product, Family Rumpus, is built by a parent for families with kids. We don’t run ads or sell data. Customers pay for what we build, and that is how we make money.

About the name

A kerfuffle is a commotion, usually a fond one, and everyday life is full of them. A house with kids has one going most mornings: the missing cleats, the permission slip, the practice that moved. We build software that brings some order to it.

How we work

  • People stay in charge. Our software sorts, suggests and reminds, and people decide. In Family Rumpus, a parent sets up the family and chooses what each child can use.
  • Your information stays yours. In Family Rumpus, a family’s content is encrypted before it is stored. We don’t sell it, show ads against it or use it to train AI models.
  • We take extra care where it is owed. Children use Family Rumpus, so children’s privacy rules and a parent’s consent shaped it from the start.
  • We write plainly. Our policies say what we collect, why, and which companies help us process it.
