Task Packs

Instead of typing out a moving checklist or a car maintenance schedule from scratch, you pick a pack, set one date, choose the items you want, and OneHaus creates them for your household.

Task Packs are part of OneHaus Pro.

What is a Task Pack?

A Task Pack is a curated checklist that OneHaus turns into real tasks, repeating tasks, calendar events and repeating events. Each pack is built around one of two shapes:

  • A target date pack, like Moving House. You set the date everything works back from (your moving day), and each item lands on the right day before it.
  • An ongoing pack, like Car Maintenance. You set a start date, and the items repeat on a sensible schedule from there.

Every item is optional, and you can edit its title, date, and who it is assigned to before anything is created.

Which packs are available?

Countdown packs that work back from a date you set:

  • Moving House (14 items): booking a moving company, telling utility providers, mail forwarding, packing, updating your address, a Moving day event, and the move-in basics like meter readings and testing the alarms.
  • New Baby (12 items): your first appointment, the nursery, the hospital bag, registering the birth.
  • Holiday Prep (11 items): arranging pet care, holding your mail, checking documents, locking up.
  • Festive Season (11 items): a countdown to the date you set, covering gifts, food, travel and decorations.
  • Just Married (7 items): name changes, updating accounts, merging duplicate subscriptions.

Ongoing packs that set up repeating reminders:

  • Weekly Household Reset (10 items): a shared cleaning routine the household can split.
  • New Pet (10 items, your pet): the setup before they arrive plus ongoing care like checkups and treatments.
  • Seasonal Home Maintenance (9 items): alarms, gutters, heating and cooling servicing, roof checks, spread across the year.
  • Appliance Care (8 items, your appliance): filters, descaling, deep cleans, leak checks, a yearly service.
  • Car Maintenance (4 items, your vehicle): tyre pressure, oil and fluids, servicing, renewing insurance.

The list of packs you see is tailored to your household. A pack tied to something you own, like Car Maintenance, Appliance Care or New Pet, only appears once you have added that item to your Home Inventory.

How do I use a Task Pack?

  1. Tap + in the app and choose Task Packs.
  2. Choose a pack to see what is inside.
  3. Set the date at the top. For a project this is the target date to work back from; for a routine it is the start date.
  4. If the pack is tied to something you own, pick which one. Car Maintenance starts from the vehicle's service date and New Pet from the pet's date of birth, where you have recorded them. Appliance Care starts from today.
  5. Tick the items you want. Edit any title, date or assignee inline.
  6. Create. The selected items appear straight away for your whole household.

Once created, they are ordinary tasks and events. Change or delete them like anything else.

How are the dates worked out?

For a target date pack, each item has a lead time. OneHaus subtracts that from your target date, so "Book a moving company" lands several weeks before the move while "Pack an essentials box" lands the day before. Any date that would fall in the past is moved to today, so nothing is created already overdue.

For an ongoing pack, items repeat from the start date you choose.

Where do I find them?

Task Packs live in the OneHaus app on your phone or tablet. Tap +, then Task Packs. Everything a pack creates syncs to every device and every member of your household.

Tips

  • Open a pack and read through it even if you only want a few items. The Moving House pack alone has 14, several of which people usually remember three days late.
  • Assign items as you create them so the work lands with a person, not just a list. See Tasks & Chores for how assignment and rotation work.
  • Pair Car Maintenance with your vehicle in Home Inventory so the repeating jobs sit next to your renewal dates.
