Change it with one tap. • Note: shopping list, Wi-Fi password, address. Addresses get “Directions” and phone numbers get “Call”. • Question of the day: you ask, everyone answers. Answers appear only once everyone has replied. • Task: tap “Done” and everyone knows. • Counter: films you watched together, books, walks. • Countdown: the trip, the anniversary, the big day. • Shared expenses: who paid what and who owes whom, no spreadsheet.
