House manual, part of Memory

How your home works, written down.

The wifi, trash day, bedtimes and how to feed the cat, written once and kept where everyone can find them. Give a sitter a guest pass with just the pages they need.

The household wiki

Everything one person knows, for everyone.

Write a page for each topic: the wifi, the kitchen, laundry, trash day, the alarm, the kids’ routines, pet care, the garden, the cars and the house rules. Plain words, with bold and bullet lists, in the order you want them read.

  • Pages by topic, easy to find
  • Pin a page and it shows on the Home board
  • Mark pages for guests, ready for the next guest pass

Guest passes

A sitter sees what they need. Nothing more.

A guest pass is a private link for a sitter, a house guest or a dog walker. Choose the pages, the contacts and the emergency details it shows, and when it ends. They open it on their phone, with no account.

  • Only the pages, contacts and emergency details you pick
  • Ends on the date you set
  • Turn it off at any time, or renew it with a new link

Guest passes are on Household and Household+. The house manual is on every plan.

What a sitter sees

On the guest pass, and off it.

What they see

Your household’s name, the pages you chose, the contacts you picked with tap to call, the emergency details you picked, and when the pass ends.

What they never see

The calendar, money, documents, photos, messages and anything you did not choose.

An honest limit

Anyone who has a guest pass link can open it until it ends or you turn it off, so send it only to the person it is for. Keep things like alarm codes out of guest pages and hand them over in person.

Which plans include it

The house manual is on every plan. Guest passes are on Household and Household+. Compare plans.

Questions

About the house manual

What does a sitter see?

Only what you choose: the house manual pages, the contacts and the emergency details you pick, and when the pass ends. Never the calendar, money, documents or photos.

Does a sitter need an account?

No. They open the link on their phone. It works until the end date, or until you turn it off.

Can I end a guest pass early?

Yes. Turn it off at any time and the link stops working. Renewing a pass makes a new link and the old one stops working.

How is it different from notes?

Notes are quick notes, and pinned ones show on the Home board. The house manual is for the longer how-to pages your home runs on.
