Household Collaboration lets you invite a trusted person — a partner, family member, or co-owner — to edit your inventory alongside you. Invited collaborators get full edit access across all your homes.
Household Collaboration uses iCloud. Both you and the person you invite must have an iCloud account.

​
What Collaborators Can Do

Invited users have full edit access across all your homes:
  • Add, edit, and delete inventory items
  • Manage rooms and locations
  • View and update insurance policy details
  • Access all homes you’ve added
There is currently no view-only access tier — sharing is designed for trusted co-owners and household members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can invited users only view, not edit? Not yet — all invited collaborators have full edit access. A view-only tier is not currently available. Do shared homes sync to the invited person’s device? Yes. Once the invite is accepted, shared homes appear in their sidebar and stay in sync via iCloud. What happens if I change phones? Shared homes carry over automatically via iCloud. Sign into the same Apple ID on your new device and everything will be there.
