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. Burrow is built for adults sharing a space: no allowance tracking, no gold stars.

Read full description

NetClaw Mobile is the companion app for your own self-hosted NetClaw Border — a network automation assistant you run and control. It is not a standalone consumer app and does not connect to any NetClaw-operated service: everything you do in this app talks directly, and only, to the Border you already set up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Ask your Border a question by typing, or by voice through Siri • Get pushed notifications the moment your Border has an answer, even when the app is closed • Review and approve pending actions with Face ID or Touch ID before they're sent to your Border • Send a photo, video, or audio capture straight to your Border for it to analyze • Keep a searchable history of every conversation and approval • Check your Border's health from Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center widgets • See live status and reply from your Apple Watch BUILT FOR OPERATORS WHO SELF-HOST Your enrollment credentials live in your device's Keychain. Your conversation history stays on your phone. Nothing about what you ask or what your Border answers passes through any server this app's developer controls — see the in-app Privacy Policy for details. REQUIRES A NETCLAW BORDER You'll need a NetClaw Border already running to enroll this app — scan its QR code to connect your phone. If you don't have one yet, set one up first.
