FAMILIES, SHARED HOUSES, CARERS, ESTATES
Households and families
EveryonePlans has a household mode: one place for the people in a home, the shared calendar, the jobs, the paperwork and the recurring things that keep a household running — with the commercial machinery hidden, because a family does not need a sales pipeline.
Runs in Household mode — one of four profiles that decide which menu you see. You can switch mode whenever the way you work changes, and we are building per-view on/off control so you can trim the menu to exactly what your group uses.
01WHAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO
The work this kind of group is really doing.
- One calendar the whole household can actually see
- Recurring jobs that regenerate instead of being remembered
- Documents kept where the thing they belong to is
- Decisions and lists in one place rather than four chat threads
- Shared care or logistics across more than one household
02THE PARTS THAT MATTER HERE
Six capabilities that carry most of it.
Everything else is still there — this is what this kind of group reaches for first. Each links to the page that explains how it works.
Scheduling and availabilityCalendars, bookable time, and group availability polling for the cases where a shared calendar is not enough. Public booking pages included.Tasks and projectsWork broken down, assigned, sequenced and tracked to done — including recurring work, which is where most task tools quietly give up.Files and documentsAttachments that belong to the record they describe, with the same permissions as everything else attached to it.Discussion and questionsA place for the group to ask, answer and decide — with the answers kept, not scrolled past.Needs and offersPost what you need and let people respond — requests for quotes, service requests, volunteer asks, wishlists, briefs.Workflows and rulesWhen this happens, do that — enrolment, waiting, branching, human approval steps. Automation a person can read back a month later.
03WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
The bins, the boiler service, and who is collecting
- Recurring jobs regenerate on their own schedule rather than being remembered.
- The boiler service is scheduled and the paperwork is attached to the boiler.
- Who is collecting on Thursday is on the shared calendar, not in a text.
- Nothing depends on one person being the household’s memory.
04QUESTIONS
What people in your position ask
Is this overkill for a family?
Household mode hides the commercial half of the platform — no pipeline, no invoicing surface, no reporting suite — and leaves people, calendar, jobs, files, questions and automations. It is meant for households that are genuinely complicated: shared care, an estate, a house with several adults, a family managing an elderly relative’s affairs.
Can I change modes later?
Yes. The mode is a setting on the organization, not a different product, and changing it changes which menu you see. Nothing is migrated and nothing is lost.
TRY IT
Set up your household and look around.
Creating an account is free and takes a couple of minutes. Pick Household mode when you do — and change it later if it turns out another one fits better.
