Support

How can we help?

Most questions are answered below. For anything else, email us — a person reads every message, usually within one working day (South African time).

Email

Include the email address you signed up with, and your phone model if something's not working.

Something broken?

Tell us what you tapped, what you expected, and what happened instead. A screenshot helps enormously.

Accounts and households

How do I share FamilyHQ with my partner?

Open the profile screen (tap your avatar on Home). Your household invite code is shown there. Your partner installs the app, creates an account, and enters the code when signing up — or later under Settings → Join a household. From then on you both see the same data.

Joining a household moves your account into it. If you had entered data under your own household, it stays with that household rather than merging. Set up together before you add much.

I forgot my password

On the sign-in screen tap Forgot password?, enter your email, and follow the link we send. If nothing arrives within a few minutes, check spam, then try again — we limit how many reset emails go out per hour.

Can I sign in with Apple or Google?

Yes. Use the buttons on the sign-in screen. If you originally created your account with an email and password, sign in that way, or ask us to link the two.

Can I change my name or email?

Your display name can be changed from the profile screen. To change the email address on your account, email us from the current address and we'll switch it for you.

Premium and payments

What does Premium include?

Thuli in text and by voice with the full monthly allowance, family insights, the choice of which model Thuli runs on, and every premium feature we add next. The free plan includes everything else, plus a smaller allowance to try Thuli.

How do I cancel?

Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, not by us, so cancellation happens in their settings:

You keep Premium until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by the store you bought through. Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com. Google: Google Play refund request. If you're stuck, email us and we'll help you find the right place.

My Premium isn't showing after I paid

Open the paywall and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID or Google account you bought with. On Android, Premium switches on once we've confirmed the purchase with Google, which can take a moment after a purchase made offline.

What's the "AI allowance"?

Each month your household gets an allowance of Thuli messages and processing. Free households get a small one to try her; Premium households get a large one. You can see how much is used under Settings. When it runs out, everything else in the app keeps working.

Your data

Who can see what I put in FamilyHQ?

The members of your household, and nobody else. Every record is locked to your household by the database itself. We don't sell or share your data, and we never show ads. See the privacy policy.

Does Thuli send my data somewhere?

To answer you, a summary of the relevant household data (budgets, lists, debts and so on) is sent with your question to the AI model, which runs on Microsoft Azure. It is used to answer you and is not used to train models. Photos you ask Thuli to read, and voice audio while you're talking to her, go the same way. Details are in the privacy policy.

Can I export my data?

Property & assets can be exported as CSV from within the app, and the inventory report as a PDF. For a full export of your household's data, email us and we'll send it as a set of CSV files within 30 days.

Delete your account

You can delete your account and its data at any time. Deleting is permanent: your records, photos and receipts are removed, and can't be recovered. If other people are in your household, their access to shared household data continues; your own account, sign-in details and personal lists are removed.

From the app

  1. Tap your avatar on the Home screen to open your profile.
  2. Choose Delete account at the bottom and confirm.

By email

If you can't get into the app, email from the address on the account with the subject Delete my account. We'll confirm it's you, then delete the account within 7 days and let you know when it's done.

Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel it in the store first, or you may keep being billed.
