Profile

Your profile is where you manage everything personal to you — your name, photo, email, password, and all your individual preferences.

Opening your profile

Tap your avatar in the top navigation bar from anywhere in the app. On larger screens, your account, security, stats, and calendar sync are on the left, and your preferences — time zone, time format, notifications, and theme — are on the right.

Photo and display name

Tap your avatar to upload a new profile photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, max 5 MB). Your photo is cropped to a square and shown in the sidebar, top bar, and the family member list. Tap Remove to go back to your initials.

To update your display name, edit the name field and tap Save name.

Changing your email address

Enter your new email address and current password, then tap Send confirmation email. A confirmation link is sent to the new address — the change takes effect only after you click that link. Your old address keeps working until then.

Changing your password

Tap Change password, enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new one. Passwords must be at least 8 characters.

CalDAV sync

Your personal CalDAV URL and credentials are in the Calendar sync (CalDAV) section. Use these to connect Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, or any other CalDAV client. See the Calendar doc for setup instructions.

Timezone and time format

Set your own timezone independently of the family default. Events are displayed in your chosen timezone with no page reload needed.

Choose between 12-hour (1:30 PM) and 24-hour (13:30) time display. The preference applies instantly across the whole app.

Notifications

Enable or disable push notifications for this device and toggle individual notification types (calendar events, bills, lists, To Do assignments, and — for adults — severe weather alerts). You can also choose how many days before a To Do item's due date you're reminded. See the Notifications doc for full details.

Theme and display mode

Choose a colour theme: Purple, Pink, or Cyan. Every theme meets WCAG AA contrast in both light and dark mode.

Set your display mode to Light, Dark, or System (follows your device setting). Changing the mode keeps your colour theme. This preference is per-member and overrides the device default when set explicitly. The wall display follows the light or dark setting too.

Security

The Security section lists every device you're signed in on, such as “iPhone · Safari”, five to a page, with the one you're using marked This device. Tap Sign out next to a device you don't recognise, or Sign out all other devices to keep only this one signed in — it covers every page of the list.

Your Vault backup codes and Vault export are here too. Unlock your Vault first to regenerate codes or export your passwords.

Stats

The Stats card shows the chores you have finished:

  • This month and All time — how many chores you finished.
  • On time — how often you finished a chore by its due date.
  • Streak — your current streak in days, with your best streak beside it.

The family's totals and on-time rate sit beside your own numbers. A chore counts for whoever completed it, not who it was assigned to, and days and months follow the family's time zone.

You only ever see your own numbers and the family total — nothing ranks or compares members. Children get the same stats as adults.
