My wife and I’s app of choice for sharing and storing is dying. The dev team was bought out by some corpo/VC and as a result their side project of a usable planner app is going sideways.

We currently use it for the following, and importantly they are updated on both our devices when one person makes a change.

  • recipes
  • needed groceries
  • vehicle maintenance info
  • to do list for home maintenance, such as changing air filters or cleaning gutters, etc.
  • Funny you should ask…

    Two of those four things are part of a project I’m working on. My partner and I are opening early access on 8/1!

    It is set to be a paid product upon full release, but is currently free during our early access phase, with the offer of a month of free service for users who sign up during August.

    This has been a passion project myself and my business partner put a lot of love into to solve problems in our own households. We’d be honored if you’d give it a try and let us know what you think!

    There’s no mobile app – yet! – but the website is mobile-friendly. We’re focused on the kitchen right now (recipes, meal plans, shopping lists) but the rest of the household is on our roadmap!

    If it’s for iOS, is there any reason you’re not just using Notes and Reminders? Either one of them could easily handle the use cases listed, including sync between users/devices.

    • My SO likes it to be all in one app, as opposed to two.

      Something to be said about having it all in one place.

  • GoodTask or OmniFocus are good one-time paid options, I’m certain they would have family sharing and they allow file attachments, pretty much anything you would ever need. If its not, there are millions of workarounds and they seem quite actively developed

    Stay away from subscriptions, history repeats and rhymes

    Keep some tasks as LISTs that you never “complete” but you can all add to and modify as you notice things running out or refilling or ongoing tasks or any other system aspect that needs to be kept up to date. Honor system heh

    • Not opposed to paying for it, so that’s fine.

      Our current use is a subscription, much to my chagrin.

      GoodTask seems closer to what we’re looking for. I’ll check it out!

      • I love their UI particularly for the date entry, i dont even mind the not having natural language for dates cuz its so fun to press the different time buttons to get to your date
