Settings
Settings let you configure your household's profile, manage members, connect external services, and control how HoneyDone generates and delivers information.
Household profile
Settings → Household — configure the details HoneyDone uses to tailor suggestions:
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Household name | Shown across the app |
| Home type | House, apartment, condo — affects relevant maintenance suggestions |
| Outdoor spaces | Yard, deck, pool, garden — determines which seasonal tasks apply |
| Climate zone | Used to time weather-dependent tasks correctly |
| Number of adults / children | Affects workload balancing and capacity estimates |
| Pets | Enables pet-specific care reminders |
Members
Settings → Members — view who's in your household and manage access.
- View members: see everyone currently in your household with their role and join date.
- Invite a member: enter an email address to send an invitation. Invitations expire after 7 days.
- Remove a member: members can be removed by a household admin. Their tasks are not deleted — you can reassign them first.
Members are synchronized with your household's organization account. Each member signs in with their own credentials.
Integrations
Settings → Integrations — connect external calendar and email services.
Calendar
Connect Google Calendar or Outlook to let HoneyDone read your schedule. HoneyDone uses your calendar to:
- Time proposals around events (e.g., "guests arriving Friday — prep tasks due Thursday")
- Avoid scheduling tasks on busy days
- Surface pre-event preparation suggestions
HoneyDone reads your calendar. It never adds or modifies calendar events.
To connect: click Connect Google Calendar (or Outlook), sign in to your account, and grant read-only access when prompted.
Email capture
Connect your email account to use the HoneyDone capture email address. Forward any email to your household's capture address, and it will appear in your Inbox as a draft item for review.
See External Capture for full details.
Home integration
Settings → Home — connect a Home Assistant instance so HoneyDone can read presence and time-of-day signals. This is entirely optional and read-only. See Home Integration for setup steps.
Capture settings
Settings → Capture — set up ways to quickly get things into HoneyDone:
- Standalone capture page — a minimal, mobile-friendly page at
/capture. Add it to your phone's home screen for one-tap capture. - Browser bookmarklet — drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark bar. Click it on any page to send the URL and page title to your household inbox as a draft.
Notifications
Settings → Notifications — control what triggers a notification and how you receive it.
- In-app: notifications appear in the bell icon in the top bar and in your Inbox.
- Push notifications: enable push notifications to receive alerts on your device even when the app is closed. See Notifications for details.
You can configure notification preferences per-category: task assignments, due date reminders, coordination requests, and proposal reviews.
