Bari
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bari fairly schedules and tracks the duties your household, roommates, or family rotate — carpool driving, cooking, walking the dog, cleaning the bathroom, watering the plants, taking out the trash, and anything else nobody quite remembers whose turn it actually is. Set it up once. Bari handles the rotation automatically, nudges the right person before their turn, and keeps a clear record so nobody has to dig through a group chat to settle an argument about who did what last week. Built for carpool groups, apartment and PG roommates, families splitting household chores, and any group that shares recurring responsibilities. Simple to set up. Fair by design. No more "whose turn is it?"
