Overview
Household brings ReelRifter to your whole family. One account holder can invite up to 4 additional members โ each gets their own watchlist, recommendations, and episode tracking, while the household shares a common Watch Queue.
Setting Up a Household
Go to Settings โ Household or /household. As the household owner, click Create Household and give it a name. An invite link is generated โ share it with family members. Each invitee needs a ReelRifter account (Free or higher).
Member Limit
Households support up to 5 members total (owner + 4 invitees). This is a Family plan feature โ see Plans & Billing for details.
Shared Watch Queue
The Shared Watch Queue is a collaborative list where any household member can add titles. It's designed for family movie nights โ add something to the queue and everyone sees it. Members can vote on queue items to indicate interest.
Kids Profiles
Create a Kids Profile for any household member under 13. Kids Profiles:
- โขRestrict content to age-appropriate titles (no content above a configurable rating, e.g., PG)
- โขHide mature content from Discovery features
- โขRequire a PIN to switch back to the adult profile
Parental Controls
Household owners can set content rating limits per profile, block specific titles or genres, and review a child's watch history. Controls are managed from Settings โ Household โ [Child Profile].
Household vs. Friends
Friends are mutual social connections with activity feeds and taste scores. Household is a more tightly integrated family-sharing structure with a shared queue and parental controls. A household member is not automatically a Friend.
