Getting started with Family Harbor
Create your harbor, invite your family and plan your first week together.
Welcome to Family Harbor — a cozy shared organizer for your family. This guide walks you through the first ten minutes: from creating an account to your first shared week.
1. Create your account
Open familyharbor.app/app and sign up with your e-mail. After confirming, a short onboarding asks about your household so the app can set sensible defaults — language, family name and who you are in the crew.
2. Invite your family
A harbor is best with the whole crew aboard:
- Open Settings → Family and tap Invite.
- Share the invite link or code with your partner, kids or flatmates.
- When they join, each person picks an avatar and a role.
Kids can have managed profiles guided by a parent — the flows are designed so children and adults can both use them.
3. Plan your first week
- Add a few events to the shared calendar — school, work, football practice. Try the weekly journey view.
- Create your first task and give it an owner. Watering the plants counts.
- Add something to the shared shopping list and let the family check items off.
4. Make it yours
Switch the language in Settings — Family Harbor speaks 14 languages. Set gentle reminders for the things that matter. Every real family action slowly fills your harbor: the boat gets cargo, the garden grows.
