Couples Todo is a shared list app built for couples. Add the movies you want to watch, restaurants you want to try, bars to visit, museums to explore; and mark them done when you've actually gone. What makes it different Everything is organized into color-coded categories you create yourself. Pick a color, name it, and set your own status labels; "Watch / Watched", "Try / Been", whatever fits. Switching between categories feels like stepping into a different space. Adding something takes two seconds. Just type a name and if you want to save a link, address, or note, you can add details too. When you're both looking at the same list, you always know what's waiting and what you've done. Built for two Invite your partner with a link. Everything you add shows up instantly on their phone. See who added what, filter by what's new, and never lose track of the things you've been meaning to do. Track your progress together The Stats tab shows how you and your partner are doing; overall completion rate, a breakdown by category, and how you each stack up side-by-side. There's even a Hall of Shame for your oldest waiting item. Earn achievements as you go: from First Step (your first completed item) to Power Couple (both of you completing 5+ items) and Clean Sweep (finishing everything). The more you do together, the more you unlock. Couples Todo isn't a productivity app. It's a personal space; warm, simple, and quietly beautiful; for keeping track of your shared life. Features - Create categories with custom colors and status labels - Add items in seconds, with optional notes and details - See who added each item - Filter by status, author, or how long something's been waiting - Stats tab: completion rate, category breakdown, You vs Partner - 8 achievements to unlock together - Invite your partner with a shareable link or 6-character code - Push notifications when your partner adds or ticks something off - Fully private — no social features, no public sharing - Delete your account and all your data at any time
