Getting started

Set up your household, add the people who live there, and bring in your calendars.

Create your household

  1. Sign in with Google.
  2. Name your household and check the time zone. Every event, reminder and display schedule uses it.
  3. Add people. Children don't need an email or login; they get a profile you can assign chores and events to.
  4. Connect calendars, or skip and use the built-in Family calendar.
  5. Pick a starting layout for Home. You can change it any time with Customize on Home.

Only the household name is required. If you leave setup early, Home shows a checklist so you can finish later.

Invite another adult

Go to Settings › Members & roles and choose Invite. Nestday creates a link that works for 7 days and only for someone signed in with the email you entered. Nestday doesn't send emails yet, so send the link yourself.

Roles

  • Owner / admin: everything, including members, calendar connections, displays and household settings.
  • Adult member: events, chores, lists, meals, rewards approvals.
  • Child: their own chores and rewards, shared lists, the family calendar (private events show as Busy).

Permissions are checked by the server, not just hidden on screen.
