Housekeeping

What this module is for​

Housekeeping is the operations module for households that work with regular help such as cleaners, caregivers or other recurring staff. It is less about family member task sharing and more about structured external or semi-external household work that needs schedules, time tracking and clear records.

What people usually do here​

  • Keep staff schedules in one place.
  • Record check-in and check-out events.
  • Track daily or hourly billing for completed work.
  • Manage chores and supply requests related to household support.

How it connects to other modules​

  • Calendar can complement schedules when work needs to stay visible in the wider household plan.
  • Tasks remains the better fit for normal family chores, while Housekeeping is stronger for staff-oriented workflows.
  • Documents can hold supporting files such as agreements, instructions or receipts.

Good to know​

  • This module is useful even when the household has only one recurring helper, because billing and attendance become easier to verify.
  • The current repository positions it around staff management rather than as a generic family cleaning list.
  • Recent GitHub discussions around this area focus on broadening the staff model, which is a good signal that real households use it for structured support work rather than as a cosmetic add-on.
