Getting started
Create a household, bring the others in, and know who can do what.
How do I create a household?
Open Knus and tap Create household. It's free.
Choose who lives there (Couple, Family or Other) and sign in, so you become the Owner. Name the household, or keep the name Knus suggests.
Then Knus asks Who else lives here? You start with two empty lists: Groceries and Tasks.
How do I invite someone?
Add the person under Who else lives here? and tap Add and invite. Share the link, or let them scan the QR code when you're together at home.
Later, open More and tap Share next to someone who isn't on Knus yet.
An invite is for one person, works once and is valid for 7 days. The Owner and Admins invite.
How do I join with a link or QR code?
Tap the link you received. Or open Knus, choose I have an invite and tap Scan your invite or Paste.
You see the household and who invited you. Tap Join. You don't need to create an account.
No Knus on your iPhone yet? The invite page copies the invite. After installing, tap Paste.
You're in one household at a time. Expired? Ask for a new invite; your place is kept.
What can each role do?
- Owner: everything an Admin can do, plus the plan, transferring ownership and deleting the household. There is one.
- Admin: manages the members, invites, roles and the household's settings.
- Adult: adds and changes events, lists and everything shared.
- Child: sees what's shared, checks things off, comments and makes events and lists for themselves. An Admin can set limits.
- Guest, such as a grandparent or babysitter: sees only what's shared with them, and the birthdays.
Admins change someone's role in More: tap the person, then Role. More about children is on Children in Knus.
