Household sharing
A household is a shared inventory — everyone in it sees the same zones, bins, and items in real time.
Creating a household
Section titled “Creating a household”The first time you sign in, binthere creates a household for you automatically and makes you the owner.
Inviting people
Section titled “Inviting people”Go to Settings → Household → Invite member. You have two options:
- Invite by email — sends them an email with a one-click join link
- Share an invite link — copy and send via iMessage, Signal, whatever
The invitee installs binthere, signs in, and taps the link to join.
Permission levels
Section titled “Permission levels”When you invite someone, pick their role:
- Owner — can add/remove members, delete the household, full CRUD on everything
- Editor — can add, edit, move, check in/out, but can’t remove members
- Viewer — read-only; can search and see contents, but not change anything
You can change roles any time from Settings → Household → Members.
Real-time sync
Section titled “Real-time sync”Changes from any member show up on everyone else’s device within seconds — powered by Supabase Realtime. This includes:
- New bins / items / zones
- Check-ins and check-outs
- Photo uploads
- Moves and deletions
Leaving a household
Section titled “Leaving a household”A member can leave by tapping Settings → Household → Leave. Their access is revoked immediately but nothing they added is deleted — the household’s data belongs to the household, not the individual.
Multiple households
Section titled “Multiple households”Right now, each user belongs to one household at a time. We’re tracking multi-household support as a feature request — vote on it.
