FamilyOps helps a household see who is doing what, when, and whether anyone is available to cover each task. The articles below are intentionally direct.
Getting Started
Initial setup
- Create a household.
- Add adults, dependents, caregivers, and the capability tags that matter.
- Add recurring responsibilities and schedule events that affect availability.
Invite another household member
- Open Settings inside the app, choose Invite to household, and share the invitation through Messages or Mail.
- The invited person must accept the iCloud share while signed in with their own Apple ID.
- You can revoke a share from the same screen.
Account & Access
Sign in with Apple is not completing
- Confirm you are signed into iCloud on the device: iOS Settings → Apple ID.
- Confirm Two-Factor Authentication is enabled for your Apple ID.
- Force-quit FamilyOps, reopen it, and try again.
- Restart the device if the Apple prompt does not appear.
Household members are not syncing
- Confirm iCloud is on for FamilyOps: iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Apps using iCloud → FamilyOps.
- Confirm the second person accepted the household invitation.
- Pull to refresh on the Today screen. CloudKit pushes can take a few seconds.
Scheduling & Tasks
A task still shows "Needs coverage"
- Check that the schedule event overlaps the task time window.
- Confirm the affected member is selected on the event.
- Confirm the assigned member has the required capability tag, such as licensed_driver.
Notifications are not arriving
- iOS Settings → Notifications → FamilyOps: confirm Allow Notifications is on.
- Check Focus modes such as Do Not Disturb, Sleep, or Work.
- CloudKit subscription delivery depends on Apple's APNs and may take a few seconds.
Billing / Plans
FamilyOps has no in-app purchases, paid digital content, subscriptions, or third-party billing at this time.
Privacy & Security
Where is my data stored?
In your own iCloud account, using Apple CloudKit. FamilyOps does not run a separate content server. Shared households use Apple's CKShare mechanism.
Does FamilyOps see or sell my household data?
No. We do not have a server that receives your household content, and we do not sell or share your data.
Are there ads or third-party tracking?
No ads, no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking.
Account and data deletion
- Delete inside the app. Delete household, member, task, or event records directly. You can also remove app data through iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Storage → FamilyOps.
- Email a deletion request. Send a message to support@familyops.dev with the subject line Data deletion request. We will acknowledge within 7 days and complete the request within 30 days.
