Family life.
All on one board.

Open Circle Post, enter your display name, then tap your profile picture. Choose Invite family / manage sharing and invite each person using Apple's sharing controls. Everyone needs Circle Post and their own Apple Account signed in to iCloud.

Open the owner's iCloud invitation on a device with Circle Post installed, signed in with the Apple Account that was invited. You can also tap your profile picture → Join a circle with an invitation, paste the link, check the circle, and confirm. A forwarded link does not give an uninvited account access.

Check that iCloud is signed in and available, then open Circle Post on both devices. Tap your profile picture → Sync now to check the status. Keep the app open while pending changes upload. Offline changes wait safely on the device; Apple's background delivery can take time. Make sure both people have selected the same invited circle.

Tap your profile picture, then Edit name, avatar, or photo. Choose an emoji, initials, or a photo and save. Circle Post uses only the photo you select and makes a small profile copy.

In version 1.2.2, open your profile picture → Notifications & reminders → Enable notifications. New-post alerts appear after iCloud sync; background delivery can be delayed or omitted. Appointment reminders default to 1 day before and are scheduled locally after appointments sync. An offline device cannot learn changes or cancellations until it reconnects. Circle Post does not add events to Apple Calendar. Times appear in each device's current time zone.

Open Map and optionally turn on Share location. You can view locations others share without sharing yours. Your device shares only while the app is active; a new app launch starts with sharing off. Pins disappear after 15 minutes without an update, but clearing stored coordinates requires a successful sync. There is no background tracking or route history. Read the map's information button and our privacy policy for details.

Use the app's profile picture → Email support, or email a safety concern. Describe what happened and include only content you choose to share. We review support reports and respond to help address concerns; we cannot browse or moderate your private iCloud records. The owner can use Invite family / manage sharing to manage individual access or stop sharing. Participants can use Apple's sharing controls to stop participating. Access changes do not erase copies already received. The app has no public feed, anonymous messaging, or separate automated content-moderation service.

Only the circle owner and the Apple Accounts they invite can access the shared iCloud circle. The owner can manage participants through Apple's sharing controls. Members may keep copies of information they already received. Read the privacy policy for details about storage, sharing, and removal.
