Household
Your family’s week, on everyone’s phone.
The calendar, the shopping list and the jobs, in one app your family shares. Parents and kids each sign in on their own phone, and nobody else can see it.
Real screens from Household, with an example household. The names are made up.
One calendar the whole family can see.
Put in what’s on once, and the whole house can see it: who has to be where, when, and who’s taking them.
- Warns you about clashesSomeone booked in two places at once, or with no time to get across town, comes up in red.
- Shows when to be thereThe orthodontist wants Mia there at 3:45 for a 4pm appointment, so 3:45 is the time the app puts in front of you.
- Says who’s drivingAdd who’s taking them. If that person won’t be home that day, Household tells you.
- Works with Google CalendarEveryone’s events can show up in their own Google Calendar too.
A shopping list everyone can add to.
Anyone in the house can add to it, the kids included, and whoever is at the shop ticks it off.
- In your orderDrag the list into the order you walk your shop. No two supermarkets are the same.
- Save your usual shopSave the things you buy every week, and add them all back in a couple of taps.
- A separate list for each shopSplit it between the supermarket and the chemist, if that’s how your house does it.
To-dos that say who and when.
Jobs sit beside the day’s plans, so you see what’s due while you’re looking at what’s on.
- Give jobs to anyonePut someone’s name on a job, or leave it for whoever gets to it first.
- Jobs that repeat, like bins nightBins every Tuesday, flea treatment every month: tick it off and the next one appears.
- Reminders on your phoneThe Android app can remind you before a job that has a time on it.
- Notes, tooThe wi-fi password, the term dates, what Nana wants for her birthday. Shared with everyone, or kept for the parents.
Your kids use it too, on their own phones.
Each child gets a sign-in of their own. They see what’s on, tap to say they’ve seen the things that are theirs, and pick their reminders in the Android app. Parents can set those for them, and a message from a parent gets past their quiet hours.
- Some things are just for parentsPresents, appointments, anything else not for small ears: none of it reaches a child’s phone.
- You’ll know if they sign in on a new phoneIf your child signs in to the Android app on another phone, you’re told, and you can sign that phone out.
Mia’s phone is never sent the present, so there’s nothing on it to find.
Your family’s information stays private.
Read the privacy policy- No ads. No tracking.No adverts and nothing watching how you use it, in the app or on this site.
- Nothing sold, nothing sharedYour family’s information is never sold or passed on to anyone.
- Other households can’t change yoursYou can link up with another household, like Grandma’s, to send each other events. Nothing lands in your calendar until you say yes.
- You can see what’s been sharedAnything sent to another household is listed where your whole family, kids included, can see it.
- No location trackingHousehold never tracks where anyone’s phone is. If someone is staying at Nana’s, you just call it “Nana’s”.
- Sign out a lost phoneIf a phone goes missing, sign it out from your own, and it stops working straight away.
