Burrow turns your home into rooms and chores you can see, so nothing quietly piles up. Start on your own. Add someone later if you want to. ORGANIZE BY ROOM Set up your actual home: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and beyond. Each room has a progress gauge, so one glance tells you what needs attention. Tap into any room to see its chores, its history, and what's already been done. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Make chores that repeat daily, weekly, or on a schedule you build yourself. Add one-time tasks with due dates. Keep on-demand chores parked until you're ready. Going away? Vacation Mode pauses everything and shifts your schedule when you're back. FALL BEHIND WITHOUT FALLING APART Skip a week and Burrow won't bury you in red badges. Overdue chores wait for you, no guilt trip. Pick up where you left off. SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS TYPOS AND PHRASES Type "overdue kitchen" and get the right results. Filter by room, assignment, due status, or chore type in one tap. QUICK ACTIONS Your dashboard surfaces the on-demand chores you complete most, so they're one tap away. SHARE IT WHEN YOU'RE READY Living with a partner or roommates? Send them a code and everything syncs in real time. Completion charts show who's done what, so you can see the balance instead of guessing at it.

Linkable is the simplest way to save and revisit links on your iPhone. Whenever you spot something worth reading, share it to Linkable in one tap, and it'll be waiting for you, neatly organized and searchable, whenever you're ready. Linkable is 100% free with no ads and no data collection. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE The built-in Share Extension lets you send any URL from Safari or any other app directly into Linkable — no copy-pasting required.

Filter your list by one or more tags with a single tap, and flip between "All" and any combination instantly. READ YOUR WAY Every link opens in three modes you can switch between on the fly: Web View — the full live page, just like Safari. Reader Mode — strips away clutter and reformats the article as clean, distraction-free text. Offline Archive — save a snapshot of any page to read later, even when you're offline.
