Keep shared-space work separate from private rooms
The Shared flat preset plans only common rooms, so nobody is assigned someone else's bedroom. See how to agree the scope and keep the shared list fair over time.
Plan the rooms everyone uses
In a flat share, a common plan works best when it covers only common spaces. Kleara's Shared flat preset does exactly that: kitchen, bathroom, toilet, living room and hallway, 24 tasks, and no bedrooms. Nobody's private room appears on the shared list, so nobody is implicitly responsible for it.
Everyone who joins the household through the Invite link sees the same plan. Any room added in the Rooms tab is added for everyone, so keep private rooms out of the shared plan.
What the common plan looks like
In the example from 26 October 2026, the five common rooms produce 100 occurrences in 28 days, three or four a day. The kitchen is the largest part, with 35 occurrences, and the toilet clean adds another task every three days.
With four flatmates and Take turns on, those occurrences are spread across people by weekly load rather than by room, so one person does not end up with the whole kitchen.
Agree the boundaries first
- Agree which spaces are common before setup, and tap off anything that is not.
- Add shared jobs the template lacks with Add task, for example cleaning the microwave, in the room where they belong.
- Agree on supplies such as cleaning products separately; Kleara plans tasks and has no shopping list.
- On each phone, choose Which one is you? so completions are credited to the right person.
When people move in or out
Up to six people can be in a household. When you remove someone, their open tasks are released and, with Take turns on, redistributed among the remaining members. Their past completions stay in the household's record, so it is not rewritten.
When someone new joins, add them in the Household tab; with Take turns on, the tasks are rebalanced to include them.
