Everything about getting your household set up on Rootenza — sharing, the calendar, recipes, billing, privacy, and more. Tap any question to see the answer.
Rootenza is one shared home for everything your household runs on — the family calendar, meals, the grocery list, your recipes, chores, reminders, and your important contacts. Instead of living in one person's head (or five different apps), it all lives in one place the whole family can see.
No app store required. Rootenza runs right in your web browser, and you can add it to your phone's home screen in a couple of taps so it opens just like an app — on iPhone or Android.
Start your two weeks free, add the people in your home, and bring over what you already track — your calendar, a few recipes, your usual grocery staples. Most families are up and running the same afternoon.
Yes. One plan covers your whole household — every person, every feature. No upgrade tiers, no per-person fees, no add-ons.
Your calendar holds things that happen at a set time — appointments, events, what's for dinner. Your tasks and chores are things that need doing but aren't tied to the clock. The big difference families love: a task you don't finish today doesn't disappear at midnight — it carries forward and waits for you.
Absolutely — your whole family is included at one price. Each person sees their own tasks and the parts of the calendar you choose to share.
From your account, send an invite by email and they'll get a link to join. You can add grown-ups, kids (as a managed profile — no email needed), or a helper like a sitter or housekeeper.
Anytime, from your account settings. Removing someone takes away their access right away, and Rootenza helps you reassign anything that was theirs so nothing falls through the cracks.
You're in control. Some things are shared with the whole house; some stay private. Kids can have their own chores and lists without seeing the grown-up stuff.
Yes. You can add a helper and share only what they need — this week's schedule, a few tasks — without giving them the run of your whole household.
A shared calendar only holds appointments. Rootenza ties together the calendar, meals, grocery list, chores, recipes, and contacts so the whole household actually runs from one place — not five.
Everyone in your home gets their own color, so one glance at the calendar tells you whose appointment is whose. You can even choose the color each person shows up as for you.
Yes. Connect your Google account and your events show up right alongside the family's in Rootenza. You can also subscribe to your Rootenza calendar from Apple Calendar or Outlook using a private link, so it shows up wherever you already look.
Yes. Rootenza can send a morning rundown of the day ahead, plus a weekly summary email of what got done around the house. You can turn these on or off for each person.
Yes — snap a photo of a cookbook page, paste a link from any recipe site, or bring your whole collection over from wherever you keep it now. Rootenza reads it and fills in the ingredients, steps, and photo automatically.
Yes — group your recipes into collections like 'Weeknight dinners' or 'Holiday baking,' and filter to them in a tap.
When you're cooking, the screen stays awake and reads each step aloud — tap or just say the word to move on. Messy hands and all.
Plan your meals for the week and the ingredients flow straight onto your grocery list. You can also keep staples lists and drop them onto the cart in a tap.
Your grocery and staples lists are shared with the whole household automatically — everyone can add to them and check things off in real time. You decide who can view and who can edit.
Yes. Set up Costco, the grocery, the hardware store — and Rootenza remembers which store each item belongs to, so you never backtrack.
Add one-off tasks or set up recurring chores, assign them to whoever's responsible, and everyone gets gentle reminders. The part other apps miss: a task you don't get to today doesn't vanish — it waits for you.
Out of milk? Just say it. On iPhone you can add to your lists and tasks hands-free with Siri Shortcuts; on Android there's a shortcut helper.
You get two full weeks free to set up your home and try everything. Add your card at signup and the first two weeks are on us — you're only charged if you decide to stay.
One plan for your whole household: $9.99 a month, or $99 a year if you'd rather save. Everyone in your home is included.
Yes — $99 a year, which works out cheaper than paying monthly. You can switch between monthly and yearly anytime.
Right from your own account, in a couple of taps. No emails, no phone calls — ever.
Tap 'Forgot password' on the login screen and we'll email you a secure link to set a new one.
Your home's information is yours. It's never sold, and you can export everything anytime.
iPhone, Android, and any web browser. Add it to your home screen on your phone, and everything stays in sync across every device in the house.
Always. You can export everything you've put in, anytime — it's yours to take with you.
Email support@rootenza.com and we'll permanently delete your household and everything in it. You can export all your data first, anytime, right from your account.
