plumber
comes 9am

Four things a house actually runs on.

Not a productivity suite. The specific, boring, load-bearing stuff of living with other people.

Tomatoes Bread Oat milk
Lists

Lists that clear themselves

Add bread from the bus, your flatmate sees it before they hit the shop. Tick things off together; the list empties as the trip happens.

Money

Settle up without the spreadsheet

Log who paid, split it however is fair, and mitlist keeps the running tally. One tap shows exactly who owes what, no group-chat math.

Bins Maya → You
Chores

Chores that rotate, not rot

Set a rhythm once: bins on Tuesday, bathroom every other week. It moves down the household on its own and nags nobody but the person whose turn it is.

Pinwall

A pinwall for everything else

The plumber's coming at nine. Movie night Friday. Stick it on the shared board so it lives somewhere other than one person's memory.

One Tuesday, four people, no group chat.

The whole point is that it disappears into the day. Here is a normal one.

  1. 7:42 You add oat milk on the walk to the train
  2. 13:10 Maya clears the whole list on the big shop
  3. 18:30 Sam marks the kitchen done, it rotates to you
  4. 21:00 Everyone settle the week, square to the cent

It runs on your terms.
