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.

Taskbuzz

TaskBuzz is the social task manager for people who actually have to live, plan, and finish things together — partners, roommates, families, small teams, side-project collaborators. Build a list. Share it. Assign tasks. Talk about them in line. And when something really can't wait, hit Buzz — your friend's phone vibrates and lights up wherever they are. — WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT — - Comments on every task. No more dropping into iMessage for "did you actually buy oat milk?" — the conversation lives with the task. Push notifications when someone replies. - Buzz: Tap the Buzz button on any task to shake your friend's phone with a custom vibration pattern + screen-shake animation. Rate-limited (2 buzzes per task per day) so it stays respectful. - Shared lists with smart sharing. Trusted friends are added instantly; everyone else gets an invite they can accept or decline. Co-members who aren't your friends can be added on the spot - Three views for three brains. "My Lists" for what you own, "Assigned to Others" for what you delegated, "Assigned to Me" for what's on your plate. Red dot indicators show unread comments at every level. — EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS — - Phone-number sign-in. One account per number, no passwords. - Due dates + time pickers with smart "yellow when due soon, red when overdue" coloring. - Recurring tasks: weekly, monthly, yearly — every 1 week, every 3 months, whatever cadence you need. - Pin a task or a whole list to the top. - Copy & paste lists in and out: every line becomes a task, every task can be copied back to chat or notes. - Progress dashboard on your Profile tab — total vs done, overdue, due-soon, a 7-day completion sparkline, streak counter, and a breakdown of created/delegated/on-your-plate. - GOD Mode: see your tasks, lists, and friends as one living, force-directed graph. Tap any node to drill in. - Voice intent shortcuts. "Hey Siri, add task to TaskBuzz" and you're typing into a new task. - Offline-friendly. Browse your lists when the network drops; changes sync when you're back. — PRIVACY FIRST — • Phone number, task titles, descriptions, and comment content are encrypted at rest. • No ads. No trackers. We do not sell your data. • Contacts access is optional and used only to match numbers you search. Your contact list never leaves your device. • Delete your account and all data any time, from Profile. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Couples & roommates running the same household. • Families coordinating school runs, groceries, weekend plans. • Small teams and side-project pairs • Anyone who wants a fast, social, get-out-of-the-way task list.
