Rotator

Read full description

Rotator turns everything you juggle into lists that run themselves — chore rotations, meal plans, shared shopping lists, family pin boards. Stop deciding, start rotating. WHY A ROTATION LIST? A list remembers. A rotation list decides. Whose turn is it to pick the movie? What's for dinner Thursday? Which workout is next? Rotator advances automatically on your schedule — daily, weekly, monthly, or whenever you tap — so the next thing is always waiting for you. NEW: PIN BOARDS Turn any list into a shared cork board. Photos become polaroids, notes become handwritten stickies, dates become countdowns, recordings become voice memo pins. Drag anything anywhere — your arrangement syncs to every device and every person you share with. Choose Cork, Blackboard, Whiteboard, or Linen. Put the important thing in the middle and the fun thing in the corner, and next Tuesday it's still right there. SIX KINDS OF LISTS - Rotation Lists: cycle in order, randomly, or weighted toward favorites - Checklists: simple checkmarks, to-dos, or three-state progress tracking - Shopping Lists: quantities, price estimates, budgets, grouped by store - Tier Lists: drag items into S+ through F ranks - Top 10 Lists: ranked lists your group can vote on - Pin Boards: free-form boards for the stuff that matters BUILT FOR FAMILIES, COUPLES, AND ROOMMATES Share any list and collaborate in real time. Assign chores, vote on movie night, chat inside the list, and watch updates land on everyone's devices instantly. Turn-taking without the arguments. CREATE LISTS IN SECONDS Speak it: describe a list out loud and AI builds it — items, schedule, colors, even a board layout. Scan it: point your camera at a paper list or whiteboard and OCR turns it into a list. Share it: send text, links, or PDFs from any app straight into Rotator. Or browse community templates in Discover and start with one tap. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Interactive home screen widgets let you check off items and rotate without opening the app. Pin board widgets put your board on your home screen. Quick Add lives in Control Center and on your lock screen. There's a native Apple Watch app for your wrist, and iCloud keeps every device in sync — no accounts, no sign-ups, your data stays in your iCloud. SMART SCHEDULING Automatic rotation on any cadence with reminders before it's your turn. See everything coming in list, calendar, or hour-by-hour timeline views. PEOPLE USE ROTATOR FOR Chore charts and allowance turns. Dinner rotations that end the "I don't know, what do you want?" loop. Workout splits that never skip leg day. Long-distance couples' boards with countdowns to the next visit. Grocery runs organized aisle by aisle. Movie-night democracies. Medication and pet-care schedules. If it repeats, rotate it. Download Rotator and let your lists do the deciding. Privacy: https://rotationlist.possibility.com/RotationPrivacyPolicy.html ToS: https://rotationlist.possibility.com/RotationTermsofService.html

About

Bari

Features
Read full description

Bari fairly schedules and tracks the duties your household, roommates, or family rotate — carpool driving, cooking, walking the dog, cleaning the bathroom, watering the plants, taking out the trash, and anything else nobody quite remembers whose turn it actually is. Set it up once. Bari handles the rotation automatically, nudges the right person before their turn, and keeps a clear record so nobody has to dig through a group chat to settle an argument about who did what last week. Built for carpool groups, apartment and PG roommates, families splitting household chores, and any group that shares recurring responsibilities. Simple to set up. Fair by design. No more "whose turn is it?"
