Simpleban for couples & households
The shared to-do board for the two of you.
The house stuff, the trip you’re planning, the endless life admin — it lives in one person’s head, and that person is tired. Simpleban puts it on one calm board you both see: what needs doing, what’s in motion, what’s done. No project-manager vibes, no due-date guilt, no app your partner refuses to open.
Why list apps keep failing you two
One of you becomes the manager
Shared lists still need someone to assign, remind, and chase. A board makes the state of things visible to both of you — nobody has to narrate it.
Team tools feel like work
Asana for your marriage is a bit much. Simpleban has columns and cards and nothing else — it feels closer to sticky notes on the fridge than software.
Lists hide progress
A 40-item list looks identical whether things are moving or stuck. Watching cards travel to Done is oddly satisfying — and it keeps both of you engaged.
How couples run it
One board for the household — Someday · This week · Doing · Done — and a board per project when something big lands: the move, the wedding, the renovation, the trip. Changes sync live between your phones, and it works offline in the hardware-store basement. Each of you can also keep private boards; you choose what is shared.
- Both phones, always in sync — install it like an app
- Calm by design: no due-date noise, no notifications guilt
- Private boards stay private; share only the household ones
- Works offline, saves itself, nothing to maintain
- Free forever for two — no credit card, not a trial
Questions, answered
- Is it really free for a couple?
- Yes — Simpleban's free plan is exactly two people with every feature and unlimited boards, forever. Two-person households are who it's designed for.
- My partner hates productivity apps. Will they use this?
- That's the bet Simpleban makes: there is nothing to learn. Columns, cards, drag. If they can move a magnet on a fridge, they can use the board.
- Can we each have private boards too?
- Yes. Sharing is per board — keep a private one for gift ideas and share the household ones.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes, it's first-class on phones: installable to the home screen, works offline, and updates appear on the other phone live.
