Welcome to "Today," your go-to app for getting more done, every single day. Our app is meticulously designed to enhance your focus on immediate tasks while also keeping future plans in sight. As soon as you open "Today," you're greeted with a custom itinerary of tasks tailored just for you, split into three distinct types to streamline your time management: Regular Tasks: Dive into tasks that are time-bound and appear in your "Today" and "Tomorrow" views, automatically transitioning to the Performance view as the clock strikes midnight. These tasks, which you manually input, are all about taking action now. Any task slated for "Tomorrow" seamlessly shifts to "Today" when a new day begins, and any "Today" task moves to the Performance view at midnight, where you can track whether it was completed. A clear performance indicator keeps things readable, and you even have the option to mark off tasks you might have missed in the past days. Timeless Tasks: This category is for the things you need to do that aren't pressing against the clock. Without any time constraints or performance tracking, these tasks form a general to-do list for non-urgent matters, helping you stay organized without the pressure. Recurring Tasks: For those duties that come around on a regular basis, set a time interval for their completion. These tasks will pop back into your "Today" view either at the start of a new interval or if they're marked as incomplete, with a visual cue in gold to celebrate completion or in red to warn of potential delays. "Today" is more than just a task manager; it's a system designed to keep you focused on the present while never losing sight of what's ahead, ensuring you're always prepared for what life throws your way.

HouseHeroes turns household chores into a tiny, cooperative game you play with the person you live with. No more "whose turn is it?" No more invisible labor. No more nagging. Just a clean, playful app that gives shape to the stuff that keeps your home running. • SHARED HOUSEHOLD Sync chores between you and your partner over iCloud. No accounts, no servers. You create the household, share it via iMessage, and that's it. • RECURRING CHORES Daily, weekly, or monthly. Assigned to one of you, or up for grabs for either. • UP FOR GRABS Not every chore has to be assigned. Drop it in the shared pool and whoever gets to it first earns the points. • LEVEL UP TOGETHER Both of you contribute to a shared household level. There's no rivalry — you're on the same team. • CHORE MASTERY Every chore you finish levels it up with you. Bronze, silver, gold, diamond — mastery crowns show who's the real dishes expert in your house. • STREAK FLAME The flame grows brighter and hotter the longer your streak lasts. Day 1, it's an ember. Day 30, it's an inferno. • BADGES & WEEKLY LEADERBOARD First chore, 100 chores, perfect week, early bird, team player — ten badges to collect, and a weekly leaderboard that resets every Monday. • OPTIONAL Don't like gamification? Turn it off in Settings and use HouseHeroes as a clean, simple shared chore list. • PRIVACY FIRST Your household lives in your iCloud, not on our servers. We can't read it, we don't track you, we don't sell anything. Made for couples, roommates, families, and anyone who's ever had the "who cleaned the bathroom last" argument. Be heroes together.
