Improved App Store Description Make life smoother and friendships friction-free with an app designed to help you stay organised, thoughtful, and on top of the little things that matter. Easily track infrequent tasks, remember whose turn it is to host or help, keep a running tally of who last shouted coffee, save recommendations from friends, and never lose track of those small IOUs again. The app is organised into five simple, powerful sections: REMINDERS Stay ahead of the important but easy-to-forget tasks—annual dental checkups, gutter cleaning, pest inspections, and more. When you mark a reminder as done, it automatically resets for next time. Add notes with each completion, and organise your reminders into custom categories with icons. SHOUTs Avoid the awkward “Who paid last?” moments. Track who last shouted coffee, drinks, or a meal so spontaneous catchups stay fair and friendly. TURNs Whether it’s hosting the next dinner, planning the team event, or doing a household chore, TURNs makes it easy to see whose turn it is at a glance. IOUs Never forget those little loans again—books, gadgets, a few dollars here and there. IOUs keeps everything clear and considerate, helping great friendships stay great. MUSTs Capture the movies, shows, books, restaurants, and experiences your friends insist you must check out. No more forgetting recommendations you’d love.
