In short

Create a profile for each person (and pet) you manage. Adults who use Atlas get their own login. Children and dependents can be managed without a login — you add their homework, appointments, and documents for them.

Where settings live

Open Household for Quick Setup and these destinations:

Profiles vs accounts

  • A profile is someone (or a pet) in your household — with a display name, type, and calendar color.
  • A login lets that person sign in with their own email. Managed profiles have no login; a manager (usually you) acts for them.
  • Profile types include Adult, Child, Senior, Dependent, Pet, and Other. Pets cannot get a login.

Profile photos

On People & invites, edit a profile to add, change, or remove a photo. When a photo is set, it appears in the app header instead of the initial. Photos are optional.

Roles

  • Owner — full control, including billing and removing members.
  • Super Admin — nearly the same as Owner for day-to-day management (invites, profiles, settings) and can see every vault record, including Private. Only the household Owner can assign or remove Super Admin.
  • Admin — can invite members and manage profiles; cannot remove people. Cannot see other people’s Private vault records (Owner and Super Admin can). See Vault help for how visibility works.
  • Member — uses Atlas for their own items and household-shared content; limited admin powers.

When sending an invite, choose the role on the invite form. After someone joins, change roles from the Role menu on each profile in People & invites.

Invites and managed profiles

  1. Invite to login — send an email invite. The person must accept with that same email address. Invitees do not create a new household; they join yours. Tell iPhone users to install Atlas from the App Store before accepting. Android and desktop steps are in Joining a household.
  2. Add managed profile — create someone without a login (great for kids). You can invite them to log in later if you want.
  3. Pending invites can be resent or revoked from People & invites.

Your plan sets how many profiles you can have. Capacity includes everyone — login and managed.

Plan & billing

Manage your plan under Plan & billing. New households start with a free trial (no card required). When you subscribe, checkout is hosted by Stripe; you can also redeem an access code if Atlas gave you one.

  • Personal — up to 2 profiles · $6.99/mo or $69.99/yr.
  • Family — up to 6 profiles · $14.99/mo or $149.99/yr.
  • Family — up to 10 profiles · $19.99/mo or $199.99/yr.

Every paid plan includes the same features; choose the size that fits your household. During a trial without a card on file, you can switch which plan you’re trialing from billing. After you subscribe, use Stripe’s customer portal from the same page to update payment or cancel.

Calendar colors

  • Each profile has a calendar color. On Calendar, tap a color swatch next to a name to change it.
  • Household has its own color (default yellow) for shared “Everyone” items — also editable from the Calendar legend chips.
