Practice at five. Dinner at six. A plan you can share.
For the rides, the grocery stops, and the little details between them. Give your family somewhere to keep up with each other.
Inside the real app · example household information
01Before everyone heads out
Shoes on. Lunch packed. What’s happening today?
You’re nearly out the door when you remember there’s something after school. The Home Screen widget gives you a quick look before you go. Open the calendar when you need the details.
Today, on your Home Screen
Keep appointments you already entered in Apple Calendar in view, too. Your selected calendars stay personal to your iPhone.
Practice moved. You’re still at work. Jeff can take the ride.
Update the shared event with the new location and assign it to Jeff. He can check the time, find the field, and acknowledge the plan with Seen it. You have a place to check instead of wondering whether he got the message.
A shared event, assigned to Jeff
Shared events, notes, and tasks have a place on the household calendar. Assign responsibilities so helping doesn’t depend on one person remembering everything.
03On the way back home
Dinner can come together, even when you arrive separately.
One of you has the kids. The other can stop for groceries. Keep the running list together, and leave the dinner instructions for whoever gets home first.
Instructions for whoever gets home first
The list your household adds to
Shared notes and lists keep the little details available to the household. With Plus, you can also text them to an opted-in member.
04When you’re home together
A shared plan can have a place in the room.
Leave wall view open on your iPad where everyone passes by. Family photos fill the screen, due tasks appear when needed, and a guest QR code opens useful details like Wi-Fi.

A moment to look ahead
Choose when to receive your week-at-a-glance summary, and talk through the coming days together.
A reminder when it helps
Turn on push notifications for the plans and responsibilities you want a nudge about.
Optional daily Bible verse
Off by default. Turn it on if your family would welcome a moment of reflection.
Keep exploring
The family has a plan. The home still has things it needs.
Does inviting someone share everything on my iPhone?
No. A household invitation gives access to shared MyHouseKeep household information. The Apple Calendar connection in MyHouseKeep 1.2 displays personal calendar events only on your own iPhone.
Can we use it even if we rent?
Yes. Family plans, lists, notes, home details, and the care you are responsible for can be useful whether you own or rent.
Make yourself at home
You shouldn’t have to be everyone’s reminder.
Start with one shared plan. Invite your household when your home is ready.
