CouplesDo โ A shared to-do list for two Built for couples who live together. One screen, no clutter, no learning curve. Open it, see everything, act, close it. How it works One partner creates the list. The other joins with a short invite code. That's it โ you're connected. No email, no passwords, no profiles. Just your first name and a shared view of everything that needs doing. One screen does it all No tabs, no menus, no buried settings. Your shared list lives on a single scrollable screen with three sections: recurring tasks, one-off to-dos, and a shopping list. Everything is visible at a glance. Claim it or leave it Tasks can be assigned to either partner or left open for whoever gets to it first. Tap to claim. Swipe to complete. A simple activity feed shows who did what โ no nagging required. Recurring tasks that handle themselves Set chores to repeat weekly, biweekly, or monthly. CouplesDo tracks when each task was last completed so you always know where things stand. Designed for speed Add a task in seconds. Quick-add for shopping items. The app is built for 30-second sessions โ not something you spend time "in." No ads. No subscriptions. No data selling. CouplesDo is free. That's it.
Recure

Recure is a household chore tracker built for couples, flatmates and small families. No more "whose turn was it this week?" โ the app picks who's up next, rotation stays fair, and you both see the same list. WHAT MAKES RECURE DIFFERENT โข Rotation, not assignments. Pick two or more people for a chore and turns shift automatically after each completion. Home always shows whose turn it is now โ and who's next. โข Shared, not divided. One household, one list โ open the app on either phone and you're looking at the same chores. โข Warm, not nagging. Streaks, gentle colors, and stats about what your house did together โ no leaderboards, no scorekeeping. HOW IT WORKS โข Answer a quick quiz and get a starter chore list that fits your home โข Invite your partner with a link or a QR code they can just scan โข Add your own chores and set how often they repeat (every 2 days, 7 days, etc.) โข Tap the check when done โ the turn passes to the next person automatically โข Started solo? Add your partner by name and rotation is ready the moment they join โข Reset the invite code anytime if you share it with the wrong person WEEKLY STATS See your house's week at a glance โ chores completed, your streak, and a daily activity chart. It's about what got done together, not who did more. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. Your household data lives on your account and is shared only with household members. You can delete your account any time from Settings. Questions, feedback or bugs: support@getrecure.com
