How to invite other users to a home
Tap + then Invite Family, pick the person's profile and tap Invite, then share a QR code or link. They open Chore Boss, tap Settings, then Join a Home to scan or paste it.
Invite a partner, a co-parent or a child so they can use Chore Boss on their own phone. Each invite is for one member of your home, so the person who joins sees the chores and rewards of that member.
Before you start
- You need to be signed in. If you are not, tap Settings at the bottom of the screen and tap Sign In.
- The person you invite needs the Chore Boss app on their phone.
- Inviting people is free. If you have premium, the people you invite get it too. See Will users I invite into my account also need a subscription?
Step 1: Share the invite
- Tap Settings at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add family member at the top.
- Tap Invite someone to join.
- Tap Invite next to the person. If they don't have a profile in your home yet, tap Someone new, enter their Name and options (such as Household Manager for another parent or Limit Access for a child), and tap Save.
- Choose how to send the invite:
- Via QR Code: ask the other person to scan the QR code on your screen with their phone.
- Via Text, Email or WhatsApp: tap Share and send them the link.
The member selected on your own phone isn't listed, since that's you. You can also tap Share Invite Code on a member's card in Settings, My Homes, then the home. If a kid's phone isn't connected yet, the Home tab shows a card for them: tap Send the link to invite them from there.
Step 2: The other person joins
On their phone, the other person opens Chore Boss, taps Settings, then Join a Home, and scans your QR code or pastes your link. See How to join a home with an invite code.
Once they join, any change one of you makes syncs to everyone in the home.
Troubleshooting
- The QR code keeps loading: the invite is made online, so check your internet connection, then go back and tap Invite again.
- I don't see Add family member: the member selected on this phone has Limit Access. Switch to a parent's profile from the name at the top of the Home tab. It is also hidden on a phone that joined a home without an account; invite from a parent's phone instead.
