Recommended Home View Settings

The Home View is a great one-stop-shop for your loved one to see everything loved ones need at a glance without needing to navigate to individual tabs for events, tasks, and lists.

You can configure the Home View to show a combination of these three tiles:

• Calendar in week view (cannot be turned off)
• Lists: To-Do Lists & Grocery Lists can easily prioritize the things they may need help with.
• Tasks: An easy way to stay on top of Chores or Routines like medications each day.

Recommended Calendar View Settings

Navigate to the Calendar tab on the side-bar. Use the Calendar View button at the top of the screen to change the current view. The button label is the current view.

Week View is the most popular, but here is an explanation of what each option does:

• Schedule: Customize your own schedule. You can choose to display 1–7 days at a time in the Settings tab. We recommend 7.
• Day: Shows only today’s events. 
• Week: Shows 7 days-worth of events Choose to start the week on Sunday or Monday in the Settings tab.
• Month: Shows the entire month’s events.
