Why this one
- Dates that look after themselvesDirect debits and subscriptions roll on to their next date by themselves. Things you renew by hand stay Overdue until you type the new date.
- A real maintenance calendarEach job is marked in the months it falls over the next 12 months, so the busy months show before they arrive.
- A rota that countsEach chore knows how often it is due this week, the grid ticks it off, and the dashboard shows each person's minutes a week.
- Your own warning time60 days to start, and longer for the things that take time, such as a passport.
- One currency switchPick £, $ or € and every money label and sentence follows.
How it works

Who it is for
Homeowners and renters, families and house shares: anyone who has ever missed an insurance renewal, a boiler service or a passport date, and anyone who wants the chores shared fairly. A renewal here means any date that comes round again, such as insurance, the car, a contract or a subscription. Works in pounds, dollars or euros.

Made by Izhar Shah. I built a brand in the evenings alongside a full-time engineering job, and in its first twelve months it passed £500,000 in sales. I make the sheets I wish I had when I started.
