Rumi
What it is
Rumi is a shared household app for coordinating chores, tasks, meals, shopping, people, and a calendar. Its weekly view runs Monday through Sunday and assigns each job to a named person. Chores can repeat on a set cadence, and completing chores or tasks earns XP toward household levels and a weekly streak. Households can plan meals and recipes, with missing ingredients added to the shared shopping list. For dinner decisions, two people can privately swipe through saved household recipes until they match. The Dinner Decider also works in a browser for up to six people without an account or installation. A shared calendar brings together dated chores, tasks, meals, important dates, and follow-ups, with reminders for items that have deadlines. Rumi is available on iPhone and macOS in English and Latin American Spanish. The Free plan supports unlimited household members and shows the current and previous week; older weeks drop out of sight. Plus adds automatic chore rotation, workload balancing, full week history, extra people details, and themes. Annual Plus costs $1.67/mo, billed at $19.99 a year for the whole household; monthly Plus costs $2.99 a month for the household. Both include a 7-day trial.
