Housyl is an app I created and designed solo for those that live with others, whether that be an entire family, roommates, or partners, by helping keep your household organized.
One of the core features of Housyl is that it’s celebrative. Users can be a part of their own household, or join someone else’s. Users can be in as many households as they wish, and easily switch between them with the click of a button.
Alongside this, the app is built for live notifications, and users can receive app wide notifications via either the Site, Email, Push or Discord. Users can toggle individual notification preferences from their account settings.
Currently, Housyl has 4 main apps with more to come in the future.
- Calendar
- Notes
- Shopping Lists
- To-do Lists
Just some of the features in the app are as followed:
Calendar
- Choose who receives notifications per event
- Create repeat events at either daily, weekly, monthly or yearly intervals.
- Customizable notification fire times and sources per event
- Syncs with to-do items
Notes
- Create notes for either the entire household, or just select household members
- Full formatting via WYSIWYG editor
Shopping Lists
- Create an unlimited amount of shopping lists, either for the entire household or just select household members
- Able to specify a product link and quantity
- Create personal Item Groups, which are collections of items, which can then be easily added to existing or new shopping lists (perfect for repeat weekly items)
To-do
- Create an unlimited amount of to-do lists, either for the entire household or just select household members.
- Add comments to individual items to note down anything that might be relevant
- Create in-depth descriptions for lists using WYSIWYG editor
- Set a priority level for individual items
- Set a due date for individual items. Items with a due date also display on the calendar, providing you have access.
User Management
- Create a household invite code, which other users can use to request to join the household
- Approve/Kick household members
- Change permissions for individual household members
- Rename/delete household
Housyl is available via the web, at housyl.com, and via PWA. A native app is planned to go into app stores later this year.
