Should I add Mom's house as a separate home?

That is the best choice if you also want to manage her maintenance schedule, appliances, projects, documents, and contractors. For a simple shared checklist, you can instead create a list named “Mom's House” under your current account.

Does Mom need a HomeHelp account?

No. She can open a shared link in her browser. A free account lets her save the list under “Shared with me” so she does not need to find the link again.

Can Mom and my sister edit the list?

Yes. Give them edit access when you share it. They can update the tasks included in their share and mark work in progress or complete. You remain the owner and control their access.

How can Mom or a caregiver add a brand-new item?

Use HomeHelp's guest-friendly Honey-Do list when you want anyone with the private link to add new items without an account. For your main list, invited account members can work within the permissions you give them.

Can my sister share the list with someone else?

The owner should invite each trusted person directly. That keeps you in control of who can see or change the list and lets you remove one person's access without affecting everyone else.

What should I put on the list first?

Start with urgent repairs and safety items, then add regular needs such as filters, smoke-alarm checks, yard work, seasonal maintenance, supply pickups, and appointments with service professionals.

Can I stop sharing later?

Yes. The list owner can change a person's permission or remove access at any time.

How it works

Choose where the list lives

For a quick start, create a list called “Mom's House.” To keep her tasks, records, projects, and reminders separate from yours, first add her house under Settings → My Homes.

Add what needs doing

Add repairs, errands, safety checks, and supplies. Include a due date, priority, notes, or an assigned person when that helps.

Invite Mom and your helpers

Share by email, link, or a six-character code. Give edit access to people who should update tasks; use view or comment access for everyone else.

Keep the list current

Helpers can open the shared list, leave updates, and mark permitted tasks in progress or complete. Use a guest-friendly Honey-Do list when you want anyone with the link to add new items without signing in.
