How to Keep Your Family on the Same Page

Family coordination doesn't have to feel like herding cats. The real problem isn't the tasks themselves—it's that everyone's working from a different version of the truth. Someone thinks they're buying milk. Someone else already did. A chore gets forgotten because no one knew it was their turn. Loopd solves this by giving your whole household one shared source of truth: a real-time task list everyone can see, comment on, and check off together.

Set Up Your First Circle

A Circle is your group—could be your family, a couple, roommates, or close friends. Start by creating one and inviting up to 3 members on the free plan (unlimited on Plus and Family). Everyone joins through a single link or code, so no back-and-forth email hunting. Once they're in, all tasks you create show up instantly on their screens.

Create Your First Shared Task List

Open your Circle and hit create. Add a task name, pick a category (chores, groceries, errands), set a priority level, and assign it to one or more people. You can even attach photos—great for showing what needs to be fixed or what to buy at the store. Hit save and it pings everyone in the Circle instantly.

Use In-Context Communication

Instead of texting about whether milk is 2% or whole, just comment on the task. Each task has its own discussion thread where you can ask questions, attach photos, and mention specific people. This keeps all task-related chatter in one place and means nothing gets lost in a group chat mess. When someone marks a task done, everyone sees it—no wondering if it actually happened.

Keep Everyone Motivated with Streaks and XP

This is where Loopd stops feeling like a chore app and starts feeling like you're actually winning together. Every completed task earns XP. Keep completing tasks and you build streaks. The weekly leaderboard shows who's contributing most (fun, not shaming). Unlock achievements and badges as you hit milestones. Learn more about how Loopd turns family coordination into a game. The gamification isn't gimmicky—it actually moves the needle on follow-through because people care about their streak, their level, and yes, bragging rights.

Scale to Multiple Groups

A household Circle for chores. A couples Circle for shared errands. A roommate Circle for shared bills. A friends Circle for trip planning. On the Plus plan and up, you get unlimited Circles, so you can organize tasks for every part of your life without mixing contexts. Switch between them with a single tap.
