The problem is not the chores. It's the remembering.
In most households one person ends up holding the entire schedule in their head — when the bins go out, whose turn it is to cook, that the bathroom has not been done in three weeks. The chores get split, roughly. The remembering never does.
Todofun moves that list out of one person's head and onto a calendar you can both see. Nobody has to be reminded to remind the other person.
How couples set it up
1. Create a private group for the two of you
Start a group, then bring your partner in with a share link, an email invite, or a QR code they scan. Groups are private and invite-only — nobody joins without an invite, and there is no public directory your group can turn up in.
2. Put the recurring stuff on repeat
Bins, laundry, the weekly shop, cleaning the bathroom — set them daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly and they appear on the group calendar without anyone re-adding them. The calendar shows who is doing what and when, so "I thought you were doing it" stops being a conversation.
3. Let people claim tasks instead of assigning them
Shared group tasks can be picked up by whoever gets to them first. That works better than assignment for two people with uneven weeks — the person who has time takes the task, and the record still shows who did it.
Photo proof, if you want it. Someone can attach a photo when they mark something done. It started as a joke feature for "I definitely took the bins out" and turned out to be genuinely useful for anything the other person cannot see from where they are.
4. Add reminders that fire in the right place
Time reminders handle the things that happen at a time. Location reminders handle the rest: pin a task to the pharmacy and Todofun nudges you when you arrive there, not when you are already home on the sofa. Three location reminders are free; Premium makes them unlimited.
Make it a game rather than a chore chart
Every task either of you finishes earns XP and grows a cherry blossom tree — from a seed all the way up. Growth is permanent, so a bad week never sets you back. On top of that, Premium adds challenges and competitions: race each other to finish, score on time or on votes, and watch the leaderboard sort itself out.
It sounds small. It is the difference between a shared list you both ignore and one you both open.
What it costs
Todofun is free to download and free to use every day. On the free plan you get unlimited personal tasks and lists, unlimited shared group tasks, one group of your own with up to 10 members, one habit, and three location reminders — which covers most couples indefinitely.
Premium removes the caps and adds competitions, challenges and activities. Premium+ adds the AI assistant, the smart shopping cart, and co-organisers. Only the person who owns the group needs to subscribe; the member's tier never limits the group they joined.
Common questions
Do we both need to pay?
No. Only the person who creates the group needs a subscription, and only once you outgrow the free plan. Joining a group is always free, and a free account can join as many groups as it likes.
Can we keep some tasks private?
Yes. Personal tasks, lists and habits are yours alone and are never visible to your group. Only tasks you create inside the group are shared.
Is our group visible to strangers?
No. Groups are private and invite-only — people join with a share link, an email invite, or a QR code. There is no public feed and no way to discover your group.
What does the free plan actually include?
Unlimited personal tasks and lists, unlimited shared group tasks, one group of your own with up to 10 members, one habit, and three location reminders. That is enough for two people sharing a flat.
Does it work if only one of us remembers to open the app?
That is the problem it is built for. Shared tasks sit on a group calendar everyone can see, reminders fire on the phone of whoever the task belongs to, and the wall shows who actually did what — so the mental load stops sitting with one person.
