SPACES · 2026-09-08
Boards, threads and the room in a shared Space
How a Household or a Team talks to itself: boards for things with a subject, a room for everything else, and what a pin actually does.
MONEY · 2026-09-08
Buhata Money: connecting a bank, and what it can and cannot do

A rota that works out the next turn for you, and what a skip does that a swap doesn't.

Renewals: registrations, policies and documents before they lapse
One list for everything that quietly expires, with warnings early enough to do something about it.
TRIP MODE · 2026-08-07
Trip Mode: the itinerary, the packing, and a link for everyone coming
A trip has dates, and everything in Buhata that touches those dates behaves differently while it's on.
SHARING · 2026-08-06
Buhata Share: one link, no sign up
How Buhata Share hands somebody a chore, a grocery list or a week, with nothing for them to install and nothing to join.
HOUSEHOLD · 2026-08-06
The Handoff Card for a sitter
One read-only page telling a babysitter or a grandparent what they need for the evening, and nothing else.
TIMER · 2026-08-06
The Timer: stopwatch, countdown and rounds
Three timers in one, and why a Buhata timer doesn't lose time when your phone goes to sleep.
GETTING STARTED · 2026-08-02
Your first week with Buhata
Open the app, put in one real thing, and watch it appear on the calendar. Twenty minutes, no setup wizard.
DEVICES · 2026-08-02
Installing Buhata on phone, computer and browser
Buhata runs in a browser, on a phone and on a desktop, off one account. What each one gives you, and how they stay in step.
MONEY · 2026-08-02
Money, bills and things that repeat
Recording what you spend, setting up a bill that repeats, and changing one month without changing the rest.
BASICS · 2026-08-02
Spaces, sharing, and what stays private
There is one kind of shared place in Buhata and it is called a Space. What a Space holds, how many you get, what sharing one does not share, and who sees what.
DEVICES · 2026-08-02
Sync, offline, and moving to a new phone
Why the app works with no signal, what happens when two devices disagree, and how to tell it has caught up.
VOICE · 2026-08-02
Voice and text commands
What Buhata understands, how to say several things at once, and how to fix it when it hears you wrong.
Common questions
It isn't syncing. What do I check first?
The dot at the bottom of the sidebar says what it's doing. If it reads synced with a time beside it, sync isn't your problem. If it never leaves waiting, sign out and back in on the device that's behind: the account is the source of truth and the device takes its copy from there.
Voice heard the wrong thing. Where did it go?
Nowhere. Nothing is written until you confirm it. The confirm screen lists every action first, each line can be edited or dropped, and you can add a line it missed entirely.
Can my family see my Private Space?
No. Private is shared with nobody, including whoever administers the household. Sharing is decided per Space and you choose which.
I deleted something by accident.
Deleting a repeating entry asks which you meant: this one, this and future, or the whole series.
For anything else there are Restore Points, in Settings under Sync and backup. Free keeps a daily copy for 3 days, Plus keeps one an hour for 24 hours and then daily for 7 days, and Premium keeps one every 30 minutes for 24 hours and then daily for 30 days. Restoring a copy replaces what is on the device with it, so the app holds on to what was there and offers to put it back if you picked the wrong one.
If you want a copy that's yours to keep, Settings has Email me my data.
How do I get a receipt?
Where you bought the plan decides where the receipt lives. Bought through Google Play or the App Store, the receipt is in that store’s account. Bought directly, the receipt is emailed by our payment provider and the same page lists every charge.
Do you read what I write?
No. Your entries are yours. What leaves your device is what sync needs to carry, and the privacy page says exactly what that's.
Still stuck? Write to [email protected] or use the support form in the help bubble to send a request and say what you pressed and what happened instead. That one sentence saves a day of back and forth.
