Settings

Manage your household, invite members, and adjust limits.

The settings page is where you manage everything about your household, from the name and hour limits to inviting new members.

Look & feel

Under Settings > Account, both family members and au pairs can adjust their own display preferences:

Language: switch the app between Dutch and English
Dark mode: toggle between a bright, light theme and a dark theme

These are personal preferences: each person on the household can pick their own, independently of what anyone else chooses.

Household settings

Family members can adjust the following settings:

Name: your household's name
Weekly limit: maximum working hours per week (default 30 hours, per Dutch regulations)
Daily limit: maximum working hours per day (default 8 hours)
Hour tracking: toggle hour limit tracking and visual warnings on or off
Free days: select fixed days off during the week

Inviting members

Each household has two invite codes:

Family invite: share this link with other family members. They will receive the family role with full permissions.
Au pair invite: share this link with your au pair. They will receive the au pair role with limited permissions.

The role is automatically determined based on which invite code is used. There is no risk of someone accidentally getting the wrong role.

Copy the invite link and share it via WhatsApp, email, or any other channel. If you want to invalidate a code, click Regenerate link: the old link will stop working.

Managing members

The members overview shows all household members with their name and role. Family members can remove other members (except the household owner).

Notifications

Both family members and au pairs can configure their notification preferences per type. There are three channels:

Email: receive notifications in your inbox
In-app: see notifications inside the dashboard
Push: browser notifications, even when the app is closed

See Notifications for the full list of notification types and how to enable push notifications.

Weekly check-ins

Toggle weekly check-ins on or off, and choose the day of the week the check-in prompt appears. When enabled, the au pair is invited to fill in a short reflection each week.

See Weekly Check-ins for more details.

Under settings, you can download your data as a JSON file. Anyone can export their own data (hours, leave requests, daily plans, expenses, and check-ins); the household owner can additionally export all household data, including tasks and house rules. Useful for your own records or as part of a GDPR data access request.

Danger zone

At the bottom of the settings page, you'll find options to leave the household or delete your account. Both au pairs and family members can delete their account; au pairs can also leave the household, and family members can also delete the household.
