A Household keeps your Apparats, documents and Care together. Everyone in it can see and update those records. Each person uses their own account. Contact support@apparat.care if you need help adding members. Other Households remain separate.

A Household keeps your Apparats, their documents and Care in one place. Use one on your own or share it with a partner, family member or housemate. Each person uses their own account, and other Households you belong to stay separate.

Members can add and update Apparats, documents, Maintenance and Issues. Admins also manage access and Household settings. A country is required when creating a Household; reminder times are handled automatically. My profile holds your personal details, photo, language, notifications and sign-in settings.

Common rooms are ready to use, including Living Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Garden, Garage and Utility Room. Members can add a room when adding an Apparat. Admins can manage rooms and locations in Household settings. Portable Apparats is for belongings with no fixed location; Not recorded means no location has been chosen. Room groups in the Apparat overview can be collapsed.

A location tells you where an Apparat is; a category and type describe what it is. For example, a portable laptop belongs to Electronics, with Laptop as its type. Categories include Appliances, Electronics and Sports & hobbies. Household settings group types beneath their categories. Members can add a category while adding an Apparat; admins can manage categories and types without losing existing Apparats.

No. Ownership helps organise who an Apparat belongs to. All members of the same Household can still see its details, documents and Care. Other Households remain separate.
