The family space is the heart of fam100. It keeps parents, caregivers, and children aligned around the “100 things” journey—from invitations to privacy controls.

Creating the space

1. Sign in and tap Start a family (or later use Family → Create space).
2. Give your space a memorable name—families often pick a surname, nickname, or playful team title.
3. Set the home timezone and default language (English or 中文). This drives reminder schedules and card translations.
4. Decide whether new check-ins require approval and whether to preload the starter activity pack.

After saving, you land in the Family Workspace where you can add children, invite helpers, and manage policies.

Workspace tour

• Overview: highlights active members, streak health, and the next suggested activity by child.
• Children: manage profiles, interests, and share tokens for child-friendly logins.
• Members: issue join codes, send secure invitations, and review pending requests.
• Settings: configure privacy, quiet hours, approval rules, and data export.

Inviting members

• Share a short-lived join code or send an email invite directly from Family → Members.
• Assign roles when inviting:
  • Admin – billing, privacy, and member management.
  • Editor – adds check-ins, edits children, and approves submissions.
  • Contributor – logs activities pending approval.
  • Viewer – keeps up without editing access.
• Monitor open requests in the Requests tab and revoke codes instantly if needed.

Privacy and safety defaults

• Only invited guardians can see child profiles, media, or download exports.
• Photos and notes stay inside the family space unless you use “Share moment” to publish externally.
• Admins can export structured data from Family → Settings → Data Export for backups or migrations.
• Quiet hours silence notifications for everyone—perfect for school nights.

Explore the workspace before inviting others so you feel comfortable with the controls. You can adjust every preference later as your family grows.
