Questions
Good to know
How do you say "Gidana"?
Gee-DAH-nah. It means "my home" in Hausa, a language spoken by tens of millions of people across West Africa.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Gidana works in any phone or computer browser today, and you can add it to your home screen. iPhone and Android apps are coming after the beta.
Who can see what?
You choose. Owners and admins see everything. Members see the household calendar, tasks and lists. Helpers, like a cleaner or babysitter, see only their tasks and the calendar, never bills or money.
Is my information safe?
Each home's information is kept strictly separate, sign-in can be protected with a code from an authenticator app, and backups are encrypted. Your data is yours: download it or delete it whenever you like.
What happens after the beta?
You keep everything you've added. When your free beta plan ends you can stay on the Free plan or upgrade; we'll remind you well before.
