When you first install and open Kestro, tap 'Create New Household' on the welcome screen.

Enter a recognizable name for your home (e.g., 'The Sharma Family' or 'Rohan & Priya').

Select your primary operating currency (defaults to INR ₹).

Define your household's estimated monthly pool—the total amount expected to cover shared groceries, rent, utilities, and domestic staff.

Once saved, you will immediately receive a unique 6-digit family invite code to share with other family members.

Household Pro Tips:
  • You can always adjust the monthly pool budget later from Settings -> Household Pool.
  • Only one family member needs to create the household. Others simply join using the invite code.
