Household & sharing

Settings → Sharing & household shows your code and a QR code. The other person types the code on first launch or scans the QR code with the iPhone camera; Homecart opens right in your household. “Invite someone” sends code and text as a message. Codes have 6 or 8 characters (older households 6, newer 8); case doesn't matter.

Choose “Join a household” on first launch and enter the code, or later under Settings → Sharing & household → Join. Whatever was on your list is carried over. Once connected, all devices in the household sync every few seconds while the app is in front.

Items from others carry a coloured initial with the first name. Change yours under Settings → Account & backup → Your name. The member list is under Sharing & household.

Long-press a row → I'll bring it, or assign it to another member. The initial on the row shows who's getting it. You can choose to get notifications only for such assignments (see Notifications).

Sharing & household → tap member → Remove. The device loses access immediately; its entries stay, with name. The invitation code changes, old invitations no longer work. Pass the new code to anyone still to join.

Settings → Account & backup → Switch to another household and enter the other code. Your Apple backup moves with you. A device belongs to exactly one household; for people outside it, use guest groups.
