Tasks & Chores
Tasks are the part of OneHaus most households open first. A task has a title, a due date, and optionally a person's name on it, so nobody has to remember who said they would do the bins.
One-off tasks are available to every household. Repeating tasks, rotation and Task Packs are part of OneHaus Pro.
Creating tasks
Tap the + button on the Tasks screen to create a new task. You can set:
- Title: what needs to be done, such as "Vacuum the living room"
- Assignee: who is responsible, or leave it unassigned for anyone to pick up
- Due date: when it needs to be done
- Remind me (days before): optional, once there is a due date. OneHaus sends a reminder that many days before the task is due, so you have time to get ready.
- Notes: optional details or instructions
Repeating tasks
Most household chores repeat. Set a repeating task with Every, a number, and a unit of Day, Week, Month or Year. Every 1 Week for the bins, every 3 Months for the boiler filter, every 1 Year for the smoke alarm check.
You can also set an End date and Max occurrences so the task stops on its own. Set Remind me (days before) and every occurrence gets a reminder that many days before it is due. Leave it at 0 for no reminder.
OneHaus creates the real tasks for you, a month at a time. A daily chore gives you roughly 30 rows in the list, a monthly one gives you the next occurrence.
Task Packs
For a whole project or routine, you do not have to build the list yourself. Task Packs are ready-made checklists, like Moving House and Car Maintenance, that you turn into real tasks. Set one date, choose the items you want, edit any title, date or assignee, and OneHaus creates them. Task Packs are part of OneHaus Pro.
Sharing a chore around
On a repeating task, add more than one person under Assignee Rotation. OneHaus assigns them in the order you list them, one per occurrence. The on screen heading is ASSIGNEE ROTATION (optional).
Add Alex, Sam and Jo to a weekly "Take out the bins" task and Alex gets week one, Sam week two, Jo week three, then it comes back round to Alex.
Completing tasks
Tap the checkbox to mark a task as complete. For a repeating task, the occurrences for the next month are already in the list, so the following one is usually there waiting. New occurrences are generated once a day at 06:00 UTC.
Task filters
Go to Settings > Preferences > Show tasks and pick one of:
- Mine: only tasks assigned to you
- Shared: your tasks and unassigned tasks
- All: all household tasks
The choice applies to your homepage and calendar.
Today panel
The home screen opens with a Today panel. It shows overdue tasks first, then everything due today, which mixes tasks with today's calendar events. Each section shows up to five items, with a "View all" link when there are more. When there is nothing outstanding you get a short all-clear line instead. Your task filter applies here too.
Tasks in the calendar
Tasks with due dates appear in your calendar view alongside events. See Calendar & Events.
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 the tasks assigned to you
Troubleshooting
- Task not appearing: check Show tasks in Settings. On "Mine" you will not see unassigned tasks or tasks assigned to other members. Try "Shared" or "All".
- Sync delay: pull down to refresh the task list. Changes from other household members appear on the next sync.
