What is fam mode?

Managing a home means managing many people and many needs.

With Fam Mode , you can securely share your account with the people in your home: the family and helpers who keep your household running. Allow your house help to order groceries, your nanny to restock baby essentials, or your kids to order food for their get togethers - all within budgets and categories you define.

You stay in complete control at all times. Track every order in real time, set or change spending limits instantly, approve or block purchases, and pause or revoke access whenever you want. Each user gets limited, role-based access - so they only see what’s relevant to them.

No more reminders, calls, or last-minute errands. Fam Mode simplifies household shopping, saves you time, and gives everyone the freedom to get what they need while you stay confidently in charge.
