Tasks & Chores

Tasks & Chores is the core of OneHaus. It helps your household stay on top of recurring responsibilities and one-off to-dos.

Creating Tasks

Tap the + button on the Tasks screen to create a new task. You can set:

Title: What needs to be done (e.g., "Vacuum the living room")
Assignee: Who is responsible (or leave unassigned for anyone to pick up)
Due date: When it needs to be done
Notes: Optional details or instructions

Recurring Tasks

Most household chores repeat on a schedule. OneHaus supports:

Daily: Every day or every N days
Weekly: Specific days of the week
Monthly: Specific dates or "first Monday," "last Friday," etc.
Yearly: Annual events like filter replacements or seasonal maintenance

When you create a recurring task, OneHaus automatically generates upcoming instances so you always know what is coming.

Task Rotation

For chores that should be shared equally, enable rotation:

Create a recurring task
Add multiple assignees
Enable "Rotate assignment"

OneHaus will automatically cycle through the assignees each time the task recurs. Everyone takes a turn.

For example, if you add Alex, Sam, and Jo to a weekly "Take out the bins" task with rotation enabled, Alex gets week 1, Sam gets week 2, Jo gets week 3, then it cycles back to Alex.

Completing Tasks

Tap the checkbox to mark a task as complete. For recurring tasks, completing the current instance automatically reveals the next one.

Task Filters

You can filter which tasks appear on your screen. Go to Settings to choose between:

Mine: Only tasks assigned to you
Shared: Your tasks and unassigned tasks
All: All household tasks

This filter applies to your home screen, tasks screen, and calendar. It helps you focus on what matters most.

Today Panel

The home screen includes a Today Panel that highlights your most important items. It automatically shows the highest-priority category that has items:

Overdue tasks: Tasks past their due date
Due today: Tasks due today
Today's events: Calendar events happening today
This week's events: Events coming up in the next seven days
All clear: When there is nothing to action, you will see a clear state

The panel shows up to five items at a time. If there are more, tap "View all" to see the full list. Your task filter setting also applies to the Today Panel.

Batch Operations

Enable selection checkboxes in Settings to select multiple tasks at once. This lets you complete or delete several tasks in one action. It is especially useful for clearing a backlog of finished chores.

Tasks in Calendar

Tasks with due dates can appear in your calendar view. Toggle this on in Settings & Preferences to see tasks alongside events. This gives you a unified view of your household schedule.

Tips

Use the AI Chat to create tasks quickly: "Remind me to take out the bins every Tuesday"
Set your task filter to "Mine" to focus on just the tasks assigned to you

Troubleshooting

Task not appearing: Check your task filter in Settings. If you are set to "Mine," you will not see unassigned tasks or tasks assigned to other members. Try switching to "Shared" or "All."
Sync delay: Pull down to refresh the task list. Changes from other household members should appear within a few seconds.
