Add your family

Invite parents, other adults and kids to join your household.

← Help CentreGetting started

Once your household exists, you bring everyone else in with an invite. Only an owner or parent can invite.

Send an invite

  1. Open More → Family members.
  2. Tap Invite (the button in the bottom-right).
  3. Under They'll join as, choose Parent, Adult or Kid.
  4. For an adult, you can enter their Email and we'll email them the invite. Leave it blank to just share a code.
  5. Tap Create invite (or Send invite if you added an email).

You'll see a 6-character code. Use Share invite, Copy link or Copy code to send it however you like.

How adults join

They open the link, then Create an account or sign in. After that they pick their name and colour, and they're in.

How kids join

Kids don't need an email. Open the invite link or code on their device. On the join screen the child sets their own name, colour and a secret PIN. You don't set these for them.

After joining, a kid signs in on the Kid tab using your family code, their name and their PIN.

Roles at a glance
