Managing Family Members

Learn how to add, edit, and manage your family members in Mallory.

Adding Family Members

You can add family members during onboarding or anytime from the Family page.

To add a new member:

  1. Go to the Family page from the main menu
  2. Click "Add Family Member"
  3. Enter their name (required), email, phone, and role
  4. Click "Add Member"

Roles: Choose "Parent" for adults and "Child" for kids. This helps Mallory understand family dynamics.

Member Information

Each family member has the following information:

  • •Name: Required for all members
  • •Email: Used for notifications and calendar invites
  • •Phone: Used for SMS/WhatsApp notifications
  • •Role: Parent or Child designation
Member Settings

Each family member can customize their own settings by clicking "Edit Settings" on their member card (only visible for your own account).

Personal settings include:

  • •Connected accounts (Gmail, Calendar, WhatsApp, SMS)
  • •Notification preferences (email, SMS, WhatsApp)
  • •Daily summary settings
  • •Event reminder timing
  • •Quiet hours configuration
Disabling Family Members

If a family member no longer needs access to Mallory, you can disable their account instead of deleting it.

To disable a member:

  1. Go to the Family page
  2. Find the member's card
  3. Click the "Disable" button
  4. Confirm the action

Disabled members won't receive notifications or have access to Mallory, but their historical data is preserved. You can re-enable them later if needed.

Leaving a Family

If you need to leave a family (for example, if you were added to the wrong family), you can do so from your personal settings.

To leave a family:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Scroll to the bottom
  3. Click "Leave Family"
  4. Confirm your decision

Warning: This action cannot be undone. You'll need to be re-invited to rejoin the family.
