Help and contact

When you create the household, you add everyone who lives with you. Each person gets a personal invite to share right away.

Later, open More. Next to someone who isn't on Knus yet, tap Share to send a new invite. Together at home? Let them scan the QR code with their camera.

They don't need to create an account to join.

Tap the invite link you received. Or open Knus, choose I have an invite and scan the QR code or paste the link.

You see the household and who invited you. Tap Join. Later you can link Google, a passkey or your email, or Apple on an iPhone or iPad, so you can sign in on another phone.

The Owner and Admins manage the household: its settings, the members and their roles. Adults add and change events and lists. A Child uses Knus with a few limits, set by an Admin. A Guest, such as a grandparent or babysitter, only sees what's shared with them.

Admins change someone's role in More: tap the person, then Role.

First link your account: open More, tap your name, and under Sign in tap Sign in or Add sign-in method. Choose Google, a passkey or your email, or Apple on an iPhone or iPad.

Then install Knus on the other device and sign in the same way. Your household and settings come along.

Open More, tap your name and tap Leave household. You see what stays and what goes, and you can export your data first.

The Owner hands the household to someone else first, under More › Household › Transfer ownership.

In Calendar, tap +. Or tap an empty time in the day or week view, or hold a day in the month view.

Give it a title, a time and who it's for, and save. Repeat, location, reminders and notes are further down; on Android, tap More options.

Check the member filter at the top of Calendar: it may show only some people.

A private event is only visible to the people it's for. A Guest only sees events shared with them.

Was it added on a phone without internet? It appears once that phone is back online.

Go to More › Settings › Calendars › Connect a calendar, choose Google and sign in on Google's own page.

Then choose which of your calendars show in Knus, and who in the household sees them.

Only you see and manage your connections. Outlook and iCloud connect the same way.

Open the event, tap the pencil and choose Repeat. Pick every day, week, month or year, or Custom to choose the days and when it ends.

When you change one repeating event later, Knus asks whether it's only this one or the following ones too.

In Calendar, tap ⋮ and choose Day, 2 days or Schedule; Week is there once you turn on Week view in More › Settings › Display. The name of the month at the top left takes you back to the month, and tapping a day there opens it. Swipe to go to the next or previous period, and tap Today to come back.

In the event's editor, turn on Private and choose who it's visible to.

To show an event to a Guest, open it, tap ⋮ and choose Share with a Guest.

Yes. The week start is the same for the whole household. An Owner or Admin changes it in More › Household › Week starts on.

Open the event, tap ⋮ and choose Turn on the countdown, or turn on Countdown while you edit it. Choose whether it counts in days or in nights.

The countdown shows on the event, on its row in the agenda and in the Countdown widget. On the day itself it says Today, and once the event is over it's gone. A birthday counts to the next one, every year.

In Lists, tap +. Give the list a name, choose Shopping, Tasks or Checklist, and tap Create.

Add items in the field at the bottom. Tap the circle in front of an item to check it off; tap it again to bring it back. Tap the item itself to open it.

Knus puts each item under a category, such as fruit and vegetables or dairy. Is one in the wrong place? Tap the item and choose Category; Knus remembers it for next time.

To change the order of the categories, open the list's ⋮ menu and choose Categories.

On a to-do list, tap the task and choose Assign someone. You can also set a due date, a time and a repeat.

Everyone finds their own tasks under My tasks, at the top of Lists.

Open the list, tap ⋮ and choose Select, or hold an item. Pick the items, tap Move or Copy, and choose the list.

Open the event or item and write in the field under Comments. Type @ to mention someone, or add up to five photos.

Hold a comment to react with an emoji, copy, edit or delete it.

Activity shows what changed in the household and who did it: new and changed events, items added or checked off, comments and changes to the household. You only see what you're allowed to see.

In an event's editor, tap Add reminder and choose how long before. For new events, choose your usual one in More › Settings › Notifications › Default reminder for events.

A to-do with a due time reminds you too.

Knus needs permission to send notifications. Open your phone's Settings, find Knus, tap Notifications and turn on Allow Notifications.

Also check that Focus or Do Not Disturb isn't holding them back.

Open More and tap Export. Choose the calendar (for other calendar apps), the lists (for a spreadsheet) or a complete archive, and save or share the files.

Owners and Admins can export the whole household. Exports are free, always.

Right after deleting, tap Undo. Later, open More › Trash, find it and tap Restore. The trash keeps everything for 30 days.

Yes. You can look at and change the calendar and lists without a connection. Your changes go to the others as soon as you're back online.

A few things need internet, such as inviting someone and exporting; Knus says so when that's the case.

The language belongs to the household: an Owner or Admin chooses Nederlands or English in More › Household › Language, and it changes for everyone.

Your clock is your own: choose 24-hour or 12-hour in More › Settings › Display › Time format. It changes on all your devices.

Knus follows your phone's text size. In More › Settings › Display, tap Text size to open the phone's settings. On an iPhone it's under Settings › Display & Brightness › Text Size.

Knus has no time limits of its own; use your child's device. On an iPhone or iPad: open Settings › Screen Time, tap App Limits and add a limit for Knus. With Family Sharing you set it from your own phone.

On Android: open Google Family Link, choose your child, then Controls › App limits, and set a limit for Knus.

Knus has four widgets: Today, List, Quick add and Countdown. Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen, tap Edit or Widgets, search for Knus and pick the widget and the size you want.

To choose which list, whose events or which countdown a widget shows, touch and hold the widget and choose Edit Widget, or on Android tap the widget's settings.

Quick add is also in Control Center on iPhone, where you can put it on the lock screen too, and in quick settings on Android. From a locked phone, Knus opens after you unlock it.

In the other app, tap Share and choose Knus. Knus shows what you can do with it: put it on a list, make an event or a recipe of it, or hand it to Make with AI.

Knus never reads a date from what you share; you choose when yourself. Nothing is saved until you add or save it, and you can undo it in Knus.

Tablet mode makes a tablet the household's bulletin board: the time, the week, today's chores and routines, one list and the week menu. Anyone can read it; changing something asks who you are first. It's part of the Household plan.

On the tablet, open More › This device › Tablet mode, or tap the gear on Who are you?. An Owner, Admin or Adult switches it on after the tablet's screen lock. Tablet mode off, in the same place, makes it a normal shared device again.

The screen stays on while the tablet is charging, goes dark at night and shows the Photo frame when nobody uses it.
