Shopping List
The Shopping List is one of Famn's most powerful features. It helps you plan your groceries at home and guides you through the store when you're actually shopping — automatically sorting your items in the order you'll find them on the shelves.

Rewards are a fun way to motivate your household members. When someone completes enough chores and earns enough points, they can unlock and claim a reward — like a treat, a privilege, or something you define yourself.

A Shopping Session is a tracked record of a single grocery run. Every time you tap Start Shopping on a grocery list, Famn begins recording what you pick up, which store you're in, and when the trip happened. When you're done, you can attach a receipt, match it to your items, and even move everything straight into your storage lists — all from one place.

Insights gives you a complete picture of how your household shops — how much you spend, what you buy most often, which stores you visit, and how your household members contribute. It also powers the Space Score leaderboard, where members earn points for completing tasks and can unlock rewards.

Sign In
What should I do if I’m still stuck signing in to Famn?
Send us the email address you use to sign in and the time you tried, through *Help* in the app or the contact page on the sign-in site.
We can check whether the address was found and whether the problem was the password or the browser. We never see your password itself.

How do I make sure I’m typing the right email address to sign in?
Enter the email address exactly as you registered it, in lowercase and without spaces.
If you copied it from somewhere, check for a stray space at the end. Some keyboards also capitalise the first letter automatically, so it’s worth retyping it carefully.

Why does Famn sign me out without warning?
Famn can keep you signed in for up to 90 days, as long as you open the app from time to time.
If a refresh fails because you were offline or the service was briefly unavailable, Famn should keep your session and try again later instead of signing you out.

What should I do if the sign-in page shows my profile instead of opening Famn?
That usually means the browser is holding on to an old sign-in.
Use *Trouble signing in? Start over* at the bottom of the sign-in page, or *Reset browser sign-in data* on the Famn welcome screen. This clears Famn’s sign-in cookies and lets you try again.

Why won’t Famn accept my password after I reset it?
Most of the time, the reset worked and the next sign-in failed for a different reason.
Check whether a password manager filled in your old password, or whether there was a typo when you set the new one. If the reset link is older than 24 hours, request a new one from *Forgot password?* and set the password again.

Should I use the same sign-in method every time?
Yes. If you signed up with Google, sign in with Google. If you signed up with Apple, use Apple again.
Switching methods can create a separate account, so it’s best to pick one sign-in method and stick with it.

How does Holdings help with maintenance?
You can add maintenance to a holding, and Famn turns it into an ordinary chore.
That chore shows up in task lists, can be completed by anyone, and earns XP like other chores. The next thing that needs attention is shown first.

Can my whole family see the same holdings information?
Yes. Everything in Holdings belongs to your active space, so the whole family sees the same homes, vehicles, and belongings.
That means you only need to register things once, and everyone can find the same records later.
How do I add a home to Holdings?
Go to More → Holdings, tap Add in the top corner, and choose Home.
Then follow the steps. Only the essentials are required at first, so you can finish the rest later.
What can I store in Holdings?
In Holdings, you can add three main types of things: Properties for homes, Vehicles for cars, caravans, and trailers, and Items for belongings across all your homes.
Each home can also hold its rooms, belongings, documents, and chores, and vehicles include registry details.

Holdings is the place where your family keeps track of the big things you own, like homes, vehicles, and the belongings inside them.
It gives your space one shared place for receipts, serial numbers, maintenance, documents, and other records, so everyone can find the same information.

Why can I not find the products I am looking for?
We are constantly working to add more products. The products available in the app are mainly added by you as users. If the product does not exist, you can scan the barcode on the product and then fill out the form that appears, add the product. After an approval, the product will be available to everyone in the app. Famn's product engine also searches for products based on this barcode you scanned, and if this product is found in open APIs, this product will be added. If the quality of the information about the product is not satisfactory, you will have a dialogue about adding missing information
Why is this an app?
Busy days in a family belong, where the dinner is to be planned, the food is to be bought, the kids are to be picked up and delivered to leisure activities and who has a birthday when? I myself have encountered challenges when all this has to be organized, there are quickly many apps on the phone, reminders on the fridge and notes that disappear. That's why I have developed Famn, the app that will help solve everyday challenges and gather the logistics in the home in one place.

Can multiple people use the same shopping list?
