Welcome to HugoFamily

The app uses no passwords. Instead it emails you a secure link — you tap it and you're in.

1. Open the sign-in page and type your email.
2. Tap Send link.
3. Open the email on the same device and tap the link.
4. Done — you're signed in. The link is short-lived and works only once.

Besides the magic link you can use a passkey — Face ID, a fingerprint, or a security key. Setup happens inside the app.

1. Open Me → Add a passkey.
2. Read the short explanation and tap Add passkey.
3. Confirm in the system dialog (Face ID / fingerprint / PIN).
4. After saving you return to your profile. You can remove the key anytime in the same section.

You can save the app to your home screen as an icon — it then opens full-screen, just like a normal app.

Easiest way: in the app open Me and tap Add to Home Screen. On Android the install prompt appears right away; on iPhone a short guide walks you through adding it via Safari.

Get alerts for new tasks, shopping-list changes, and family events — even when the app is closed. You turn notifications on yourself.

1. Open Me (your profile).
2. In the Notifications section tap Enable notifications and confirm in the system dialog.
3. Choose notification types and optional quiet hours — times use the family timezone (set by a parent under Settings).

There are two lists: Daily for quick shopping and Weekly for the big shop with a store plan.

1. At the bottom, pick Daily or Weekly.
2. Tap the big + button at the bottom-right.
3. Type what you need. You can add a quantity, price, and store.
4. Save with Add. After buying, check it off by swiping or tapping Bought.

Family and above Tasks help the family remember what needs doing — with a due date, priority, and the person in charge.

1. Tap Tasks at the bottom.
2. Tap + at the bottom-right.
3. Type the task title. Optionally add a description, due date, priority, category, and who it's for.
4. Save with Add task. Mark it done later with Done ✓.

Parents only Parents can manage the category list shown when creating and filtering tasks.

1. Under Settings, open Manage task categories.
2. Add a new category with +, or choose Edit on an existing one.
3. When a category is deleted, tasks stay in the family and simply become uncategorized.

Family Plus On Family Plus, dated tasks you own appear in the calendar you already use. You add and complete tasks in HugoFamily; the phone calendar is a view. Each family member manages their own subscription.

1. Tap Me in the top right (your avatar). Open Calendar integration.
2. Tap + and choose Calendar subscription. Create a subscription (for example iPhone) with Create subscription. Tap Add to Apple Calendar, Add to Google Calendar, or Add to Outlook. The link stays hidden — the calendar app on your phone will open it.
3. You will see all-day events: only your open tasks with a due date. Undated tasks do not appear. Other members’ tasks do not either.
4. A completed HugoFamily task disappears from the calendar. Apple and Google refresh the subscription on their own — sometimes it takes tens of minutes.

Optionally you can connect Google instead of subscribing — HugoFamily then writes tasks into its own calendar in Google.

1. Tap + and choose Connect Google Calendar, then allow access. HugoFamily will create a Google calendar named HugoFamily — not your personal primary calendar.
2. Dated tasks that belong to you appear there. Changing the title or date in HugoFamily updates the same event. Completing or deleting the task removes the event from the visible calendar (usually within moments).
3. Disconnect Google Calendar stops further updates. The HugoFamily calendar in Google stays — you can delete it in Google yourself if you want.

Or connect a CalDAV account — HugoFamily (tasks) in Reminders and HugoFamily (events) in Calendar on iPhone and Mac. Each device has its own key.

1. Tap + and choose Add CalDAV account. Enter server calendar.hugofamily.app, the username, and the password that is shown only now.
2. Name the key after the device (for example iPhone). Later you revoke only that key by name if the phone is lost.
3. Another device (MacBook) gets a new key — we do not show the password from the first device again. At most 5 keys.
4. Revoking the last key or Disconnect CalDAV account signs the whole account off. Tasks in HugoFamily stay.

Family and above A family wallet for loyalty cards — securely stored codes, camera scan, and a large barcode at checkout. Managed by parents.

1. On the home screen open the HugoCards module or go from the shopping list.
2. A parent adds a card manually or via Scan card.
3. At checkout tap the card and show the full-screen barcode.

Family Plus Shared colour sticky notes — a short message for the whole family, pin on the home screen, optional expiry.

1. On the home screen open the HugoNotes module.
2. Tap +, write a short message, and pick a colour.
3. You can pin a note to the home screen or set an expiry date.

1. Open the HugoMeals module on the home screen.
2. Add a meal idea; others can vote.
3. Parents plan the week and, after confirming, send ingredients to shopping.

Family Plus Parents only The school lunch menu from Strava.cz. Hugo only shows it — it never changes orders.

1. In Settings, open Canteen (HugoCanteen).
2. Add an account: canteen number, username, and password from Strava.cz. Assign it to a child.
3. Hugo checks the login. It never changes canteen orders — it only reads the menu.
4. After connecting, open Canteen on the home screen — this week and next week. A parent refreshes with Refresh.
5. A child with an assigned account sees only their own menu and the home-screen strip.

Family and above A personal journal for measurements and notes — weight trends, goals, cycle, and calm charts. Not a medical app. Intimate activities have their own HugoIntimate module.

1. Open the HugoJournal module and add an entry (e.g. weight).
2. In trends, follow the charts and set a goal.
3. Find period logging and cycle estimates under Cycle — a strip plus a 30-day window; you can offer a partner read-only access from that page.
4. You can cancel sharing at any time. The cycle is not offered to children this way.

Family Plus A private intimate journal separate from HugoJournal — encrypted activities, a stopwatch, and an overview just for you. Sharing a cycle with one adult already works: you offer it in HugoJournal → Cycle; after they accept, they see it here on the Intimate home screen (read-only).

1. Open the HugoIntimate module on the home screen (Family Plus plan).
2. Start a session with the stopwatch or add an entry; children cannot access it.
3. Entries do not appear in HugoJournal or on journal charts.
4. You track your cycle in HugoJournal → Cycle. You can offer read-only access to one adult in the family — after they accept, they see it in HugoIntimate (home + expandable calendar).
5. You can cancel sharing at any time. The cycle is not offered to children this way.

Family Plus Freezer memory — write a number on the bag; Hugo remembers what’s inside, how old it is, and where it is.

1. Open HugoFreezer and go through the short wizard (freezers, places, categories).
2. Put a package in: write the large number on the bag and fill in what you know.
3. Take out by number or browse the inventory — older items show on the home card.

Family Plus Weekly pocket-money ritual: kids check off help, parents close and review the week — then assign a free-form amount.

1. A parent opens HugoPocket and sets core tasks (or follows the guide).
2. During the week, kids mark completed help and can add one-off extras.
3. A parent closes the week. When more than one week is waiting to be evaluated, Hugo opens the oldest.
4. They evaluate and assign pocket money — the week locks. They mark handover with Hand over reward (status Handed over).

HugoFamily has three plans. A parent manages them in Settings.

• Free — daily and weekly shopping lists, up to two stores, two members.
• Family — tasks, loyalty cards, HugoJournal, offline reading, and more members.
• Family Plus — HugoNotes, HugoMeals, Canteen (HugoCanteen), HugoIntimate, HugoFreezer, HugoPocket, phone calendar, offline write, AI plugin, Home Assistant, and more.

Upgrade or manage your subscription under Settings → Subscription and plan. Locked modules on the home screen lead to the plans overview.

After installing to your home screen, HugoFamily can work without a network — depending on your plan.

• Family and above — offline reading of recently opened lists, cards, notes, journal, and freezer (depending on plan and enabled modules).
• Family Plus — offline write (shopping, tasks, journal, intimate entries, notes, pocket money) and queue management in Settings. Freezer writes are online-only for now.

Parents manage the pending-change queue under Settings → Offline queue.
