What this does

Setup creates your household, preferred view, and starting accounts. Household access lets others see or help without sharing your password; each person gets their own sign-in and explicit permissions.

How to

Set up

  1. 1Open Personal → Setup.
  2. 2Name the household; pick Simple or Detailed view.
  3. 3Add cash, bank, card, loan, and asset accounts (manually or by import).
  4. 4Finish; your overview appears.

Invite someone

  1. 1Open Personal → Household → Invite.
  2. 2Choose role (e.g. view-only, helper, full).
  3. 3Send; they accept with their own account. Remove access anytime.

Statuses and lifecycle

StatusMeaning
InvitedPending acceptance.
ActiveHas access.
RemovedAccess revoked; their past changes stay attributed.

Permissions

  • Only household owners invite or remove members.

What happens in your books

Setup creates accounts only; opening balances become starting values for net worth.

Common mistakes

  • Sharing one login instead of inviting a member — you lose the record of who changed what.

Troubleshooting

Invite not received

Check spam and the exact address; resend from Household.
