## What is Lontra?

Arguing over who does what is more exhausting than the chores themselves. Lontra splits the housework between the two of you based on how much free time each of you really has, and it works for both of you: the person you live with joins free, forever.

Lontra is free for two people, with no time limit. Pro is optional: {ANNUAL} a year for the whole home with a 14-day free trial, or {LIFETIME} once.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell me when you're free and which rooms you have. Time slots and rooms come pre-filled with the most common setup, so you only tap what's different. I'll build the plan in under a minute.
2. Invite your partner with a text. They open the link, confirm their free time and find the plan ready. Nothing to set up again.
3. Every day you both see who's on what. Can't get to something today? Tap "Not today" and I'll move it to your next free evening. No backlog, no red overdue lists.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• The split follows the time you actually have. Whoever is also free in the mornings takes on a bit more, and Lontra tells you why. Rather go fifty-fifty? One tap.
• Your partner never pays. Inviting, sharing and syncing are free and always will be.
• You can see the sync. Every screen showing the other person's tasks says when it last updated. If iCloud isn't responding, I'll tell you in plain words, along with what's safe.
• It's not a competition. No points, no leaderboards, no streaks to protect. Each of you sees your own share, never one against the other.
• Use it without opening it: interactive widgets, Siri and Apple Watch.

FREE, FOREVER
• 1 home, 2 people, partner invite included
• automatic plan, split by free time or fifty-fifty
• "Not today", "Tomorrow", "Hand it to…", with tasks rebalanced across the week
• Today, Week and Balance for the current week
• add tasks the way you'd say them (on iPhones with Apple Intelligence) or with a simple form
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with a checkmark
• Siri and Shortcuts
• cleaning session with an in-app timer
• iCloud sync and a daily reminder

LONTRA PRO
• Different weeks: change your free time for just one week, and the difference evens out over the following weeks
• Balance over time: how things went over the last 8 weeks and beyond
• Live Activity for your cleaning session on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
{ANNUAL} per year for the whole home with a 14-day free trial, or {LIFETIME} once for lifetime access. No monthly plan. Pro supports Family Sharing: if you're in the same family group, one purchase covers you both.

PRIVATE, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up, no password. Your home lives in your own iCloud and is shared with iCloud sharing: we have no servers that can see your tasks. We only collect anonymous usage statistics, with no personal data.

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
• iPhone, including iPhone Duo: unfolded, Today and Week sit side by side.
• iPad: the whole week for both of you, like a board on the kitchen counter.
• Apple Watch: your next task and its checkmark in the Smart Stack and on watch faces.
• Siri, even with AirPods: "What do I have to do today in Lontra?"
Requires iOS 26 or later. Each of you needs an iPhone or iPad signed in to iCloud to share the plan.

WHY LONTRA
Lontra means otter. Sea otters hold paws while they sleep so they don't drift apart. It felt like the right way to share a home.
