How-to

Invite your co-parent

Start a shared space or join with an invite code.

One of you starts the shared space in milinn and gets an invite code. The other parent opens the app and joins with that code.

Check what happens in your situation
  1. You sign up

    Your space is ready. An invite code is created for it.

    Or stay solo. Track expenses on your own and invite them any time.

  2. Invite your co-parent

    Share your invite code.

    Example invite code

  3. Check which situation applies

    • New to milinn

      Signs up with your invite code and joins.

    • Has an unused, empty space

      Confirms and joins yours. Their unused, empty space is removed.

    • Already uses milinn

      Combining two spaces is not available yet. Keep your existing accounts and keep your records where they are.

    • Space is full

      Already two parents. Sign in with the account that is already a member.

  4. One shared space

    Up to two parents. Expenses, Calendar, Messages, Documents and Ask milinn, shared.

    • Expenses
    • Calendar
    • Messages
    • Documents
    • Ask milinn
You can stay solo or invite your co-parent. Only one of the joining cases applies to them. A successful join creates one shared space. A full space cannot accept another parent.

Create the shared space

  1. Open milinn and sign in.
  2. Start a new shared space if you do not have one yet.
  3. Find the invite code for that space.
  4. Send the code to your co-parent in a normal message or email. Do not share passwords.

Enter the invite code

  1. Ask your co-parent to install milinn and sign in with their own account.
  2. They choose to join a space and type the invite code exactly as you sent it.
  3. After it works, you both see the same expenses in that space.

If the code fails

If the invite never shows up or the code does not work, stay in the app and try these steps first.

  1. Confirm both of you are signed in. The person joining needs their own milinn account.
  2. Copy the invite code again and check for extra spaces.
  3. Ask the person who created the space to open the invite screen and send a fresh code if the app offers one.
  4. If it still fails, reply to the support email thread. We will help. Please do not share passwords.
