A household task app for couples, kids, and flatmates
The iOS app for households sharing the mental load: the invisible work of remembering what needs doing at home. Tasks, shopping and events synced in real time for up to six people.
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.
Who it's for
Households (usually couples) where one person remembers what needs doing. Up to six people, and it works solo until others join.
Couples, families and flatmates, up to six people, where one person is holding the list for everyone.
Who it isn't for
Work project management, solo GTD / Todoist-style projects, or Android-only households.
Teams, workplaces and anyone managing projects — or a household where someone is on Android.

How Carry works for a whole household
Everyone in one feed
Tasks, shopping and events for the whole home, synced in real time to up to six people.
A 6-character invite
One person sets up the household and shares a 6-character code. Everyone who joins gets the same feed — and never pays.
See who did what
The activity log shows what got done and by whom, and the Weekly Wrap recaps the household’s week.
Nothing sits unnoticed
Items age from Fresh (0–2 days) to Urgent (10+), so what’s been waiting is visible to the whole house.
Carry or a chore chart?
A chore chart is simple, visible on the fridge, and good for fixed, recurring jobs. What it doesn’t hold is the one-off things someone has to notice first — which is most of the mental load.
| Compared on | Carry | A chore chart |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed, recurring chores | Yes, as tasks in the feed | Yes — this is what it’s for |
| One-off things someone noticed | Add by voice or text, from any phone | Only if someone writes them up |
| Shopping and events | In the same feed | Separate lists |
| Who did what | Activity log and Weekly Wrap | Ticks on the chart |
| Price | Free tier, then Carry Plus at $7.99/month, $29.99/year or $149.99 lifetime. Any plan covers the whole household. | A pen |
| Phones | iOS only today; Android is planned | None needed |

Up to six. The free tier includes 2 household members; Carry Plus opens it up to the full six, and one subscription covers everyone.
Does everyone in the household need to pay?
No. One person subscribes and everyone who joins gets Carry Plus. The people who join never pay and never see a paywall.
Does it work for flatmates?
Yes. A Carry household can be a couple, a family or flatmates — whoever you live with, up to six people.
Does everyone need an iPhone?
Yes, for now. Carry is iOS only. Android is planned, but it isn’t shipping yet.
