Add family members

Family members are who Sense organizes around. Each one gets a color, and events, chores, and reminders can be assigned to them. How you add someone depends on whether they need their own login - there are two flows, both under Settings → My Family.

Add a child

For kids you'll manage yourself (no login needed):

1. Open Settings → My Family.
2. Under Children, tap Add child.
3. When asked "Will they have their own phone?", choose No, I'll manage their info for a managed child. (Choose Yes to send an older child an email invite for their own login.)
4. Enter their name and pick an avatar and color.
5. Optionally add a birthday, grade, school, or nickname - these help Sense route school events to the right kid.

Invite an adult

For a partner or co-parent who should have their own account:

1. In Settings → My Family, tap Add member.
2. Enter their email and tap Send Invite.
3. They'll get an email to create an account or sign in, and then share your family's calendar, lists, and everything else.

Someone who won't use Sense

A grandparent who does pickups, a nanny, a pet, or an open "Help With Rides" slot is a profile, not a child or a member. Profiles go on events and reminders and get their own color, with no login and no chores.

Why colors and birthdays matter

A member's color follows them everywhere - on the calendar, chores, and reminders - so a shared calendar stays readable. Birthdays you add here show up on the calendar each year automatically, no reminder to set.
