Guest passes

The house manual is where your household writes down how the home works. A guest pass shares the right parts of it with a sitter, a house guest or a dog walker, for as long as they need it and no longer.

Open House manual and add pages by topic: wifi, kitchen, laundry, trash, security, kids, pets, garden, cars, rules, a page for the sitter, or anything else. Write in plain text, with bold words and bullet lists.

• Pin a page and it shows on the Home board next to pinned notes.
• Mark a page for guests and it is picked for new guest passes by default.
• Put the pages in the order you want them read.

On Household and Household+, an owner or an adult can create a guest pass. Give it the name of the person it is for, pick when it ends, then choose what they see:

• the house manual pages they need,
• the contacts they might call, like the vet, with tap to call,
• emergency details: the address, the meeting point, the utility shutoffs, the pets, and medical notes only for the people you pick,
• the wifi and the home address, if you want to include them.

The link is shown once. Copy it and send it to the person it is for. They open it on their phone, with no account and no app to install.

A simple page with your household’s name, the pages, contacts and emergency details you chose, and when the pass ends. It is easy to read on a phone and follows their phone’s light or dark setting. They see nothing else: not the calendar, not money, not documents, not photos.

• The guest pass shows how many times it has been opened, and when it was last opened.
• Renew it to make a new link. The old link stops working.
• Turn it off at any time, and the link stops working at once.
• After the end date, or once it is turned off, the link shows “This link has expired or was turned off”.

Anyone who has the link can open the pass 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.

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