Coathook

Out Friday 23 October

Say it once.

Coathook is a shared list for a house. Jobs, the shopping and what's in the kitchen, on everyone's phone, with a name against each one.

The first 1,000 houses get six months free. One email when it's out, nothing else. What we keep

Telling the house “we're out of milk”, and the app reading back that milk is off the kitchen and onto the list
Day one

Made for iPhone Duo.

Open it up and turn it on its side, and the day runs across the screen: what's done, what's now and what's next. Everything without a time waits along the bottom. The same on iPad.

Thursday on an open iPhone Duo: the day running left to right, a stack of two things at 12:00, and the shopping along the bottom
  • ClosedThe phone you know. Everything where it is now.
  • OpenThe day runs left to right, and an hour with a few things in it stacks them up.

You type it. It goes where it belongs.

“Bins out Thursday” turns into a job for Thursday. “We're out of rice” goes on the shopping list, under the shop you get rice from.

It reads most things right, and when it doesn't, it's two taps to fix.

  • Home: Tuesday, with Tesco Dalkeith, Anywhere and a courgette to use under Any time today, and car insurance carried over
    The dayWhat's next, and whose it is.
  • Shopping: four things under Tesco Dalkeith, one under Anywhere
    ShoppingSplit by shop. It comes up when you get there.
  • The kitchen: a courgette to use soon, rice running low, and the fridge, freezer and cupboard
    The kitchenScan a barcode or type it in.
  • Jobs: one carried over from yesterday, four this week with a stripe for whose they are
    JobsEach one has a name against it.
