## What is Couples Confluence Mental Load?

If you have to remind them, they don't own it.

You already know that. You have known it for years. The shared calendar did not
fix it. The chore chart did not fix it. Neither did the long talk on a Sunday
night. None of them ever put a number on what you are actually carrying.

HOW THE WEEK WORKS

1. Plan the week ahead. What needs doing. What needs remembering. What needs
paying for.
2. Each of you picks what you are taking this week.
3. You get your balance. One number across all three, built from what you both
actually chose.
4. The app picks three things he can take off your plate to move that number
closer to even.

Then you do the week. At the end you both see what got done, not what got
promised.

THE PART NOBODY ELSE COUNTS

Remembering is work. So is paying for things. Most apps count the dishes and
stop there. This one weights the remembering heaviest, because that is the part
that never shows up and never ends.

WHAT THIS APP WILL NOT DO

It will not nag him. No reminder emails. No guilt notifications. You have been
the reminder system for years. That is the job you are trying to quit.

WHO BUILT THIS

My name is Justin. I am a farmer in Minnesota. I built this after I found out
what my wife had been carrying for years that I never saw. I did dishes for
twenty years and called it helping. I was wrong, and I did not know I was
wrong, because nobody ever showed me a number.

I read every email that comes in. If this falls short for you, tell me.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-16

Faster sign in. We fixed the problem that was stopping some of you at the front door, and the code field now takes your code the first time.

Also in this release: a clearer weekly split, and a fix for a balance that could read over 100 percent.

I read every email. If something is not right, tell me.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-16

You finish saying who has what — and now the app actually tells you what's next.

Before, the last step of setup just ended. You'd assign every job and the screen would go quiet, leaving you to work out on your own where to look. Now there's a clear next step at the bottom of your week that takes you straight to your balance.

Also in this version:

The app recovers on its own when your connection drops. If it can't reach us at launch it keeps trying quietly in the background and lets you back in the moment you're online again — no tapping, no restarting.

Sign-in is steadier. If Apple sign-in doesn't go through on your device, the app now says so plainly and puts the email route right in front of you instead of leaving you guessing.

Under the hood, this build has to prove it opens before it's allowed to ship.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-29

Mental Load is now its own pillar. The work of remembering, planning, and
noticing sits next to the dishes and the laundry, where it belongs.

Setup takes about two minutes. Pick a preset that sounds like your house,
adjust a few things, done. No long questionnaire.

Balance now leads with what actually got completed, not what got assigned.

Three tabs instead of six. Less to hunt through.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-29
