"Can you call the plumber?" You said yes. Two months later, the sink still drips. Piglu is the to-do app where a task does not close until the other side confirms it is actually done. No more "I told you." No more "you never told me." Just open loops, and the moment they close. THE IDEA Most to-do apps let you check a box and move on. But the tasks that slip through are the ones you handed to someone else, or promised to someone, where nobody ever confirmed they happened. Piglu closes that gap. Every task has two sides: the person doing it and the person who confirms it is done. The loop stays open until both agree. HOW IT WORKS - Create a task and choose who it is for. - Myself: a task you handle yourself. Add a partner to confirm it when you want a second pair of eyes. - Someone: hand a task to one of your connections. They get it, do it, mark it done, and you confirm. - Group: share a task with a group so the right person can pick it up. - Marking a task done is a request, not the end. It only closes when the other side confirms. That is the whole point. WHAT YOU GET - Connections: the people you trade tasks with. Partner, family, roommate, a contractor, your team. - Groups: bundle connections together for shared, repeating kinds of work. - Inbox: everything waiting on you, and everyone waiting on you, in one place. - Per-task chat: ask a question or add a detail right on the task, so context never scatters across three apps. - Categories and colors to sort the noise. - History and a calendar view to look back over what closed and when. - Push notifications when a task lands, when it is marked done, and when it is confirmed. - A home-screen widget for a glance at what is still open. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Full privacy controls and account deletion are built in. WHO IT IS FOR Couples splitting the mental load. Families and roommates dividing chores. Anyone working with a contractor, a cleaner, or an assistant. Small teams tired of "I thought you had it." If you have ever lost a promise in a chat thread, Piglu is for you. Pametan piše, glup pamti. The smart one writes it down; the fool tries to remember. PIGLU PLANS Receiving tasks is always free.
