Home's next step

Home always shows one card with the most useful thing to do now, and one big button. Home shows the first card on this page that applies.

The cards

Nothing here yet

Your house is empty. Tap Add your first thing to start photographing.

Nobody has joined yet

Your things are in, and it’s time to tell the family. Tap Send the family the link. See Send the family the link.

Share your decisions

You decided some things in private, and nobody has been told yet. Tap Review and share to look them over and tell everyone at once. See Telling the family.

Things ready to decide

Everyone has answered these, or the time to answer is up. Tap the button, like “Decide 2 things”, to go to Decide.

A helper also sees a card of their own here. See If you’re helping.

Waiting for answers

The family is looking. The card says until when, and who hasn’t looked yet.

Tap Remind the family to send the link again with a short reminder. Or tap Decide now instead to decide before everyone has answered.

Your photos are going up

Photos you just took are still on their way in. They show once they’re in.

If a photo didn’t go up, Home says so first, whatever else there is to do: tap Try again.

Nothing needs you right now

Everything left is kept open for later, with Keep for now. Tap See what’s still open to look at it.

Everything is decided and shared

You’re done, for now. Tap See who’s taking what for the list of what is going to whom. Add more whenever you like.

Under the card

A few rows are always there: Add more things, Send the family the link, Family and helpers, Who has answered and House settings. Tap one to open it.

Where to next

• Family and helpersEveryone in the house, and what you can do for each person, like sending a new code or making them a helper.
• Who has answeredHow far along each person is, and how to remind the family.
• House settingsTime to answer (how long the family gets for each thing), the house's name, how the family hears, groups, and tags.
