# Aangan — Home Manager — Household Management > Household Management (iPhone/iPad app by Ateeshay Jain.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/aangan-home-manager/id6790430682 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [Ateeshay Jain](https://appshunter.io/developer/1875903781) - Category: Lifestyle, Productivity - Price: Free - Age rating: 4+ - Requires: iOS 18.0 · 13 MB - Languages: American English - Released: 2026-07-21 - Data updated: 2026-10-10 ## What is Aangan? “Maine advance diya tha na?” Never have that argument again. If your home runs on a cook, maid, driver or doodhwala, you already keep the hisaab — in your head, on a fridge note, or in messages to yourself. Aangan writes it down properly, so month-end becomes a clear record instead of a negotiation. The salary tangle, solved. Mark attendance in one tap. Record advances when cash leaves your hand. Settle salary from what actually happened, then create a bilingual slip you can keep or share. Every rupee in one view. See bills, subscriptions, salaries, deliveries and daily spending together, with categories, trends and a straightforward monthly summary. The paper, when it matters. Scan receipts and documents, lock sensitive records with Face ID, track warranties and expiries, and optionally export due dates to a dedicated Aangan calendar. The remembering, handled. Track recurring services, milk or newspaper counters, errands, groceries, meals, contacts and household handoffs. Aangan reminds you when something is due and otherwise stays quiet. Private by design. No ads, analytics or Kunba account. Household data stays on your iPhone and, when iCloud is available, in your own private iCloud. You can pause sync in Settings. Made for India: ₹1,00,000 formatting, IST calendars, hisaab-style ledgers, Hinglish search, Panchang, and UPI hand-off to installed payment apps. ## Is Aangan safe?

A new "Other" type covers money that isn't salary. - Staff list: see what's due and any advance still out, at a glance. - Vendors: a month calendar for deliveries, and "Paid till date" now includes payments recorded in the Khata. - Dish pages: cleaner tags, a nutrition card, recipe steps you open when you need them, and a link to video recipes on YouTube. - Counters: a counter without a name now asks to be named right at the top. - Sharing a home is offered only to its owner. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-20 Update every phone in your household • Phones on different versions read some salary and advance records differently. Once one phone is on 1.4.1, update the others too. Aangan now tells you if another phone in your home is still on an older version. Sharing and privacy • If a shared home kept saying "no longer connected … changes stayed here" even after a fresh invite, this update fixes it. The waiting changes now go across on their own — you don't need to do anything. • Leaving a shared home and rejoining it from the invite link now downloads the home again, instead of waiting on "Joining…" forever. • Tapping something while a shared home is still downloading can no longer blank out a name on both phones. • If iCloud storage is full, Aangan now says so — and says whose — instead of a vague "couldn't be shared". • Removing someone from a shared home now holds. Their phone can no longer keep sending changes into a copy of your home, and "This home is mine" is only offered to the person whose iCloud actually holds the home. • A photo or document arriving from another phone can no longer be saved anywhere except Aangan's own attachments folder. • Siri and Shortcuts now need your iPhone unlocked before reading out bills or logging a spend. • The app and the privacy policy now say plainly that everyone you share a home with is a co-owner, and that Face ID hides a document on this phone without stopping it syncing. Documents and storage • Deleting a document, asset, expense, repair or wishlist item now deletes its photos and PDFs too — including when the delete comes from another phone. Meals • Importing a diet chart now shows you what was read, to fix or untick, before anything changes in your weekly plan. You can turn on-device reading off in Settings. Easier to read and tap • Status badges, spending percentages and festival days are now legible in light and dark mode, and sharper still with Increase Contrast on. • Small buttons on Today and Calendar are easier to tap, and VoiceOver no longer reads out icon names on the calendar. Under the hood • After updating, Aangan re-checks your iCloud once, so nothing received by an older version is missing. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-17 Share a home with your family • You can now share a household with someone else in your family. Both phones see the same staff, attendance, bills and expenses, and either can make changes. Invite from More > Share this home. • Joining shows you what's happening while the household downloads, and says plainly if something goes wrong instead of failing quietly. • Settings now tells you whether syncing is actually working — what's waiting to go out, and when something last synced. Split (shared expenses) • Balances no longer include a person who doesn't exist. An expense with no recorded payer used to invent one, so the group's totals never settled. • "Split by shares" with no shares entered no longer guesses an equal split, and percentages that don't add up no longer land the whole bill on whoever paid. • Tapping "Mark paid" twice — or a UPI app confirming twice — no longer counts the payment twice and tells you you're square when you aren't. Staff and salary • If a wage is recorded twice for the same month, Aangan now says so. It already did this for a milk bill; now it does it for a person's pay. Privacy • Your household's money is no longer visible in the app switcher. • Reminders on the lock screen are generic by default — no names, amounts or items. Turn detail back on in Settings if you prefer it. Documents and storage • A document photographed with the camera now actually shows its attachment, and its file reaches the other phone. • "Erase all data" now erases everything it promised, including receipt photos and your settings. • When something can't be saved because your iPhone is out of space, Aangan says so instead of failing without explanation. Under the hood • A change that arrives while Aangan is busy is no longer lost. • Faster and steadier on households with years of records. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-21 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Aangan | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Fixify - Fix it Fast](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fixify-fix-it-fast/id6756913734) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [SuperLiving: My Wellness Coach](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/superliving-my-wellness-coach/id6740916465) | 4.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | | [MANGO Salon](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mango-salon/id1637401768) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [CUCKOO+](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cuckoo-plus/id6776929064) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [i4S](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/i4s/id6746568271) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Broomees](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/broomees/id1561586333) | 1.0 (2) | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Ateeshay Jain - [Tattvam: Ancient Indian Wisdom](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tattvam-ancient-indian-wisdom/id6796545677) All apps by Ateeshay Jain: https://appshunter.io/developer/1875903781 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
