About

Tiptoe

Read full description

Tiptoe is the app for couples who want to run life together without tiptoeing around each other. It's free for both of you. The dishes, the vet appointment, the plans for Friday, the thing you've been meaning to bring up for two weeks. It all lives in one place you both can see, so nothing depends on one person remembering everything. RUN THE DAY TOGETHER See what's on today for both of you, side by side. Tasks, chores and plans in one view, color-coded so you always know what's yours, what's theirs, and what's shared. TASKS AND CHORES THAT DON'T NEED NAGGING Add a task, choose who owns it, and set a date in a few taps. Nudge your partner when something is overdue, and undo anything you checked off by mistake. Set repeating chores on the days that suit you, keep shared lists for groceries and packing, and see overdue items before they turn into a conversation. ONE CALENDAR FOR THE TWO OF YOU Everything you're each committed to, in one week or month view. Plans, appointments and check-ins, all in one place. YOUR WEEKLY CHECK-IN Add topics any time during the week, then sit down together. Work through your topics, capture decisions and turn next steps into tasks. Pause anytime and return to your shared recap. THANK-YOUS One tap when your partner handles something, with room to add a personal note. FREE FOR BOTH OF YOU Sign up free, no card needed. You share one space for two: tasks, recurring chores, lists, the calendar, thank-yous, reminders, and the weekly check-in. Your free account includes your first 30 tasks and chores. Every one you create counts, open or done, and deleting one doesn't give it back. TIPTOE PRO Go Pro whenever you want more. One plan, US $9.99/month, covers you both. Pro adds: • Unlimited tasks and chores • Insights: who carries what, your patterns over time and a weekly readback • Every past check-in, kept • Tiptoe in Apple or Google Calendar • Email tasks straight into Tiptoe One Pro subscription covers both partners. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your private tasks stay yours until you choose to share them, and we never sell your data or use it for ads. Tiptoe is not therapy or counseling. It's a shared place to plan everyday life, so you have more room for the rest of it. Tiptoe is free to use with no purchase. Tiptoe Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription at US $9.99/month; one subscription covers both partners. When you upgrade, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Pro renews monthly unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.
