Less “did you get milk?” More shopping together. Cartly+ brings your household’s shopping lists, conversations and meal plans into one place. Add what you need, coordinate with your people and see what is still left to buy. For couples, families, roommates and anyone sharing the shopping. TWO WAYS TO KEEP YOUR LIST Keep an ongoing Main list for things you need without choosing a date. Use By date to organise a specific shopping trip. Clear To buy and Done sections make it easy to follow your progress and undo an accidental check. SHOP TOGETHER Invite your household and keep groceries, quantities, categories and notes in sync while connected. Someone adds an item at home. Someone else checks it off at the shop.

Housli is a shared chore list for couples, roommates and families. Each person sees the chores for today, and repeating chores can rotate between people. TODAY The Today list shows your chores and the household's chores. Chores with a later date wait in Later. Pick a chore from the ready-made list or write your own, assign it, and tap it to mark it done. ROTATING CHORES (PRO) Repeat a chore daily, weekly, on the days you pick, monthly or yearly. Turn on rotation, and Housli gives each repeat to the next person you selected. GROCERY LIST (PRO) Add items to one shared list and check them off as you shop. The other members see the same list. STATS (PRO) See how many chores each person completed in the last 7 days, 30 days or year, the household completion rate and the busiest day. REMINDERS AND CALENDAR (PRO) Get a morning summary of your chores, an evening reminder for chores that are still open, and a notification when someone assigns you a chore for today. Add your chores to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. MONEY REQUESTS (PRO) Ask a member to pay you back for groceries or bills. Housli sends the reminder and does not process payments. Housli Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription. Apple charges the payment to your Apple Account. The subscription renews unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or restore it in the app or in your Apple Account settings. Sign in with Apple or Google. To delete your account, open Settings → Advanced → Delete account.
