Boards, research & planning
A to-do list you and your partner both use — no app juggling
One shared checklist for everything the house needs to get done
Replace the light bulb, restock paper towels, call the plumber — stop losing household chores in texts and separate Notes apps. Keep one shared to-do list your whole household adds to and checks off from the same link. Your partner or roommate joins with a name — no second account, no app download.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Chores live in separate Notes apps that never match
- "Did you get the light bulbs?" texts repeat every week
- Your partner won't download another to-do app
- One person ends up managing the whole household list

Group chores into Kitchen, Errands, Projects, or whatever fits your house.
Contributors are free
Items your partner adds don't count against your plan — only what you add does.
