Stop carrying the household alone. Carry is a shared to-do list, task manager, and household organizer for couples and families. Share tasks, chores, groceries, errands, plans, reminders, and everyday responsibilities so everyone can see what needs to be done and who is handling it. SHARED TASKS FOR COUPLES AND FAMILIES Create a shared task list and assign tasks to your partner or family. See what is done, what is coming up, and what still needs attention. Carry gives your household one shared place for the practical work of everyday life. Use Carry for: • Shared to-do lists • Household tasks • Shared responsibilities • Chores and recurring chores • Errands • Appointments • Home projects • Reminders • Plans and events SHARE CHORES WITHOUT CONSTANT REMINDING Create a chore list, assign household chores, and track what gets done. Set recurring tasks for responsibilities that happen every week or month. Everyone can see what belongs to them instead of relying on one person to remember, notice, ask, remind, and follow up. Carry helps make household responsibility visible. Whether you're splitting cleaning, doing laundry, walking the dog, booking an appointment, or handling a home project, keep the task and its owner in one place. BUILD A SHARED GROCERY LIST Create a shared grocery list that updates for everyone in real time. Add groceries whenever you think of them, organize your shopping list, and see what has already been handled before you go to the store. Use Carry for grocery shopping, weekly groceries, household shopping, shared grocery lists, and errands. Add an item, check it off when it's done, and avoid duplicate texts or wondering whether your partner already bought it. CAPTURE TASKS BY VOICE Say what needs to be done and Carry turns it into a task. Capture “buy oat milk,” “schedule the dentist,” or “clean the bathroom” the moment you think of it. Voice task capture makes it easier to keep your shared task list up to date when your hands are full, you're cooking, shopping, or simply don't want to stop what you're doing. KEEP YOUR HOME ORGANIZED TOGETHER Carry brings your to-do list, chore list, grocery list, errands, and household plans together in one simple system. Plan the week, add tasks, assign responsibilities, create recurring chores, organize shopping, and see what your partner has completed. FOR COUPLES WHO WANT TO FEEL LIKE A TEAM Carry is built for couples and families who want to share the work of running a home—not leave one person responsible for remembering everything. LESS MENTAL LOAD. MORE SHARED OWNERSHIP. The household mental load isn't only the number of tasks that get done. It's remembering what needs to happen, noticing what has been forgotten, deciding who should do it, asking for help, reminding someone, and following up. Carry gives couples and families a shared place to turn those responsibilities into visible tasks. Instead of one person being the household manager, both people can see what needs doing and take ownership. When a task is completed, send an in-app compliment to make appreciation visible too. ONE SHARED PLACE FOR EVERY LIST Use Carry for shared to-do lists, household task lists, chore lists, grocery lists, shopping lists, errands, recurring responsibilities, home organization, meal planning, packing lists, gift ideas, appointments, plans, and everyday reminders.

Odysseus knew he couldn't resist the Sirens, so he had himself tied to the mast. Mast does the same for your phone. Screen Time limits are easy to dismiss. Mast is different: you create commitments, scheduled blocks where your distracting apps lock, and you decide up front what it takes to get them back. Your apps don't just come back when time passes. They unlock when you act. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that steal your time: TikTok, Instagram, games, anything. 2. Schedule your commitments: study sessions, work hours, mornings, evenings. 3. Pick your unlock policy, what it takes to earn your apps back: • Photo: snap a photo to prove you did it: gym clothes on, books open, bed made • Timer: run down a focus timer before anything unlocks • Mark done: apps stay locked until you check the task off • Just wait: or simply lock yourself out for a set time WHY IT WORKS Psychologists call it a Ulysses pact: a binding decision you make now, while you're clear-headed, that your weaker future self can't undo. Willpower fails in the moment, so Mast removes the moment. When the commitment starts, the ropes are already tied. There's no "remind me in 15 minutes" to tap through, and the only way out is the one you chose yourself. • Powerful blocking built on Apple's Screen Time technology • Flexible schedules for study, work, sleep or a full digital detox • See the hours you've won back If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at hello@usemast.app. Terms of Use: https://usemast.app/terms
