Share into OneHaus
Share into OneHaus turns whatever is on your screen into household items, without retyping. A class schedule in a message, a photo of a school letter, an invite as a calendar file, a quote as a PDF: share it to OneHaus and it works out what to add.
OneHaus Pro: share into OneHaus is part of OneHaus Pro. See Plans & Subscription for what is included.
How it works
- In any app with a share button, whether that is Messages, Notes, email or a browser, tap Share.
- Choose OneHaus from your device's share sheet. The app opens, whether it was closed or already running, and reads what you sent.
- OneHaus proposes the items it found.
- Review the proposals, edit or untick anything, and accept the ones you want.
On Android you can also select text in any app and choose OneHaus from the text selection menu, without going through the share sheet at all. OneHaus appears in the top row of the Android share sheet as a Direct Share target once you have used it, and it accepts multi-select shares, so you can send several photos in one go.
What you can share
- Text and links: the everyday case. Select some text, or share a page, and OneHaus pulls the tasks, dates and contacts out of it. Very long text is trimmed to the first part, and OneHaus tells you when it has done that.
- Photos: share up to four pictures at once and OneHaus reads each of them, showing its progress as it goes. Send more than four and it reads the first four and says how many it left out. If one photo cannot be read, the others still go through.
- Calendar files (.ics) and contact cards (.vcf): OneHaus reads the file and proposes the event or the contact from it.
- PDFs: you choose. OneHaus asks whether to Find things to add, which reads the PDF and proposes items like any other share, or Create or add to document, which files it as an attachment. A PDF over 4 MB is too big to read, but you can still file it.
- Anything else: if OneHaus cannot read the kind of file you sent, it says so and suggests sharing the text or a photo of it instead.
What OneHaus can create
Proposals are grouped under these headings, with a count on each:
- Tasks
- Repeating tasks
- Events
- Shopping
- Contacts
Reviewing proposals
Nothing is added until you confirm. In the review sheet you can:
- Edit the title of any proposed item inline before accepting it.
- Deselect anything you do not want. Every item starts selected, so just untick the ones to skip.
- Accept all selected items at once with a single tap. Blank items are ignored.
OneHaus then creates the selected items and lets you know if any could not be added, with a button to try just those again. If it cannot find anything worth adding, it says so and leaves your household untouched.
Sharing while offline
You do not have to wait for a connection. Share something with no signal and OneHaus holds on to it: a 1 share waiting chip appears with "Opens when you're back online", and the share opens for review as soon as you have a connection again.
Shares also wait when you have not yet turned the assistant on, or when your household is not on OneHaus Pro. Your share stays put while you decide, rather than being thrown away.
If several shares stack up, OneHaus asks you to review the ones already open before it takes another.
Tips
- Forward a party invite, a tradesperson's quote or a recipe's ingredients and let the review sheet sort them.
- Trim the shared text down to the part that matters if you want more focused proposals.
- Review the titles before accepting. A quick edit now is faster than fixing an item later.
Troubleshooting
- OneHaus is not in my share sheet: make sure OneHaus is installed and you have opened it at least once. On iOS, you may need to scroll the share sheet and tap More to enable OneHaus.
- OneHaus asks me to sign in: sharing needs an account and a household. Sign in and set up a house first.
- I was asked to upgrade: share into OneHaus is part of OneHaus Pro. See Plans & Subscription.
- A proposal looks wrong: edit its title before accepting, or deselect it and add the item manually. The more specific the shared text, the better the proposals.
- Nothing opened when I shared: check for a share waiting chip on the home screen. If you were offline, OneHaus is holding the share until you are back online.
- Only some of my photos were read: OneHaus reads four at a time. Share the rest as a second batch.
- My PDF was too big to read: PDFs over 4 MB cannot be read, but you can still file one as an attachment against a document.
