Hubby is the shared household app that finally names the mental load and helps you split it. A to-do list for couples that gets the part most apps miss: it's not about who does the dishes, it's about who remembers the dishes need doing in the first place. The noticing, the planning, the keeping-track. That invisible work is what wears people down. Hubby tracks both. WHAT YOU GET, FREE Sign in with Apple. Set up your household in seconds and get it all back on a new phone. No passwords, no email to hand over. Tasks you share. Add anything, assign it to either of you or to "Everyone", set a due date. Both phones stay in sync. Repeating tasks. Set anything to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. See it coming a week ahead, and change or stop a repeat whenever you like. No more re-remembering the same things. A renewed home screen. Open Hubby and see the mental load ring: who's carrying what right now, with a calm line at the center that gets busy when someone's stretched. Smart parsing on-device. Type "Buy milk at AH tomorrow" and Hubby pulls out the title, the date, and the store. Say "groceries every Monday" and it sets the repeat too. Powered by Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and newer. Works offline. Group the big stuff. Planning a birthday or a weekend away? Gather all its tasks under one named group, so the whole plan lives in one place instead of one person's head. Your color, your household. Pick a color from the 159-color Sanzo Wada palette. Your partner gets a color that pairs with yours from the same book. Hand-built, not algorithmic. Widgets. Today's tasks, quick-add, count. All on your home screen. Weekly check-in. Once a week, both of you rate how the load felt. No drama, no scores. Just a moment to compare notes. WHAT YOU GET WITH PREMIUM The Sunday Letter. A personal weekly note about your household, written for the two of you. It reflects what you got done, what's been carrying weight, and what's been off-balance. Lands every Sunday. The headline feature. Daily morning insight. A short push each morning. Tells you when the balance is off, who's carrying more this stretch, and what to try. The thing that actually moves the needle. Household Balance + Weekly Overview widgets. See the split at a glance from your home screen. "Your partner added X" pings and "Due tomorrow" reminders. The gentle loop that keeps both of you in the same room, mentally. Letter archive. Read past weeks any time. TRY IT FIRST Premium starts with a 7-day free trial. No card to type in, it runs through your Apple ID. You'll see the Sunday Letter in your first week, so you know exactly what you're paying for. PRIVACY We collect almost nothing. No ads. No analytics tied to you. No tracking. We use Sign in with Apple to set up your household, and we never ask for your email. Your tasks, your household, your data. Read the full privacy policy in the app or on our website. Hubby is built for couples. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Two things to confirm before you paste, both from my earlier review: - Daily morning insight — make sure that push still fires (it was stripped at one point; the server function still exists). If it's not live, delete that block. - 7-day trial — confirm your StoreKit intro offer is actually set to 7 days free.
