By situation
Shared to-do list for couples, without one person carrying it all
Carry is for couples where one person has become the household’s memory. You both see the same list on your own phones, and either of you can add to it the moment something is noticed.
Read the guideA shared grocery list the whole household can see
Carry is for households where one person always knows what’s running low. The shopping list is shared with everyone in the home, grouped by aisle, and anyone can add to it — by voice or by typing.
Read the guideThe mental load app for the person who remembers everything
Carry is for the person in the household who remembers everything — the dentist, the bin day, the birthday in three weeks — and wants that remembering to be visible and shared, instead of living in their head.
Read the guideA household task app for couples, kids, and flatmates
Carry is for households of up to six — couples, families, flatmates — where one person has ended up remembering what needs doing for everyone. Everyone shares one feed, and one subscription covers the whole home.

Carry vs Todoist: a shared home list, not another work app
Todoist is strong for personal and work projects. Carry is for a different job: a shared home, the groceries, and the question of who is carrying the remembering.
Read the guideCarry vs Any.do when the job is the mental load
Any.do has polished shared lists and a calendar. Carry is built specifically around the mental load: the Mental Load Score, items that age, and one subscription for the whole household.
Read the guideCarry vs Apple Reminders when a checklist is not enough
Apple Reminders is already on your iPhone and fine for a simple shared list. Carry is for when you need more than a checklist: voice into the right list, aisle-grouped shopping, aging, a Weekly Wrap and a Mental Load Score.
Read the guideCarry vs Notion when the household wiki died
Notion is flexible, and a household setup in it is high maintenance. Carry is for households who want a feed of what needs doing, not a database someone has to keep alive.
