Can any member manage the household?
Management permissions are controlled. The household creator retains core rights and can delegate specific permissions to accepted members.

Shared Households
HouseKeepr can move from a personal home setup to a shared household so family members or roommates work from the same rooms, chores, supplies, and history instead of maintaining separate versions of the home.
Why it matters
Shared homes need shared context, not duplicated lists.
When every person keeps an individual chore list, nobody has a reliable picture of what the household as a whole has already done. That can create duplicate work, missed work, and arguments about invisible contributions.
HouseKeepr gives accepted household members a common cleaning history while keeping management permissions under deliberate control.
How it works
Built around real household use
1
Create one household
A household creator can establish the shared home and invite accepted friends to join it.
2
Share the same home data
Rooms, chores, supplies, and relevant cleaning history can be used across the household instead of copied into separate personal setups.
3
Delegate permissions
Management rights can be granted independently, while the creator retains core household administration controls.
4
Credit who completed the work
Shared chore history can attribute completion to household members, and administrators can credit another accepted member when appropriate.
In practice
Example: roommates sharing a kitchen and bathroom
Instead of each roommate marking 'clean bathroom' in a private app, both can see the shared household's actual completion history. If one roommate handled the task earlier in the day, HouseKeepr can suppress a duplicate same-day completion for everyone else.
What it gives you
- One shared source of household truth
- Member permissions instead of all-or-nothing control
- Completion attribution across accepted members
- Household-wide same-day duplicate protection
FAQ
Questions about Shared Households
Can two people complete the same chore on the same day?
HouseKeepr checks household-wide completion history so the same chore is not recorded again for that calendar day.
Do household members have to be friends first?
HouseKeepr's current invitation flow requires an accepted friendship before a household invitation can be sent.
