The Shared Household Problem
If you live with other people — a partner, family, or roommates — you've experienced this: someone buys milk without knowing there's already milk in the fridge. Or nobody buys paper towels because everyone assumed someone else would.
Communication gaps in shared households are the #1 cause of duplicate purchases and stockouts.
How Household Sharing Works in Our Stash
One Inventory, Multiple Members
When you create a household in Our Stash, you get a single shared inventory that everyone can access. Add an item, and everyone sees it. Use something up, and it's updated for everyone in real time.
Invite with a Code
Adding someone to your household is simple:
- Go to the Household page
- Copy your invite code
- Share it with your family member or roommate
- They enter the code and they're in
Roles and Permissions
Not everyone needs the same access:
- Owner — Full control, can manage members and settings
- Admin — Can add/remove items and manage the inventory
- Member — Can view and update items
Real-World Benefits
For Families
Parents can manage the household inventory while kids can check what snacks are available. Everyone knows what's running low, and the shopping list builds itself.
For Roommates
Split shared items from personal items. Track what's communal (cleaning supplies, paper products) and avoid the awkward "who used the last of the coffee?" conversation.
For Couples
Either partner can scan a receipt after shopping, and both can check the inventory before heading to the store. No more duplicate purchases, no more "I thought you were getting that."
The Shared Shopping List
Auto-Generated, Always Current
When items run low in the shared inventory, they automatically appear on the shopping list. Any household member can see what needs to be bought, check items off as they shop, and the list stays synced across all devices.
Getting Started
Setting up household sharing takes less than a minute. Create your household during setup, invite your people, and start tracking together. It's one of those features that you won't believe you lived without.
