TEMPLATE / HOUSEHOLD

The household’s places, one word each.

Everyone in the house types the same word for the school portal, the bin day, the bills and the recipes. When an address changes, change it once in the shared sheet.

A family or a shared house. One person keeps the list in a Google Sheet; everyone else subscribes in Wyrd’s Family & Friends view and gets every keyword, on every computer.

What is in it

15 keywords in 4 categories. The ones marked your address are for your own page: the template cannot know where yours are. Type >, Space, then the keyword; a keyword with %s in its address takes words after it.

Share it as a list

To give everyone the same keywords, keep them in one shared list that Wyrd reads for everyone: change an address once, and it changes for all of them.

  1. Download the list template (CSV) and import it into a new Google Sheet (File → Import).
  2. Replace every example.com address with your own, and delete the rows you do not need. Add your own rows the same way: keyword, address, description, category.
  3. Subscribe in Wyrd (Shared lists → paste the sheet’s address), then send the others an invite link. The list’s short name is home, so > home/cal always reaches it, even if someone has a keyword of their own with the same name.

The whole set-up, step by step: set up a shared list. The file format: shared lists in the docs.

Make it yours

  • Keep banking and anything with a password in your own keywords, not in the shared list: a shared list is something everyone who can edit the sheet can change.
  • A keyword can open several pages at once: put the school portal and the homework page in one address, separated by " | ".
  • Grandparents can subscribe too, and type the same words the rest of the family uses.
