See who carries what at home, and thank each other for it.

Commonly is for two people who share a home. Each of you answers a short Load Check on your own phone, sealed until you both finish. Then you see where your views differ, and every Sunday you thank each other for specific things.

Join the beta on TestFlight How it works

Free to start. iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Five minutes each to start. Ten minutes on Sunday to keep going.

Each of you answers on your own phone. Nothing is shown until you both finish.

  1. 1

    A few questions, no right answers.

    For each of eight areas, say who carries more, from noticing to doing. About five minutes. Remembering the dentist counts, not just going.

    • Eight areas
    • Thinking and doing, asked apart
    • About five minutes
  2. 2

    Sealed until you both finish.

    Nobody sees anything until you both finish. There is no way to peek, and nothing to argue about halfway through.

    • Sealed on the server
    • Nothing shown until you both finish
    • Share cards hide names
  3. 3

    See where your views differ, together.

    Both views side by side, the gap in points, and the areas where it shows most. Areas are compared. People never are.

    • Two views, side by side
    • The gap in points
    • Areas, never people
  4. 4

    Sunday Sync, with thanks for what each of you carried.

    A receipt of what the other person moved along this week, one thank-you per thing, then what changes next week. Nothing changes until you both agree.

    • One thank-you per thing
    • Next week, agreed by you both
    • About ten minutes

Eight areas, whole ones.

One owner per area, from noticing to doing, not per task. Kids and Pets only when the household has them.

  • Home The boiler service, the bins, the empty cupboard.
  • Food Meals, groceries, the Sunday lunch.
  • Kids School forms, the dentist, lunches.
  • Money & admin Bills, renewals, the tax letter.
  • Health Appointments, prescriptions, check-ups.
  • People Birthdays, thank-you notes, calling family back.
  • Travel & events Tickets, packing, the weekend away.
  • Pets Food, the vet, who walks when.

Each area is counted in steps: noticing, planning, deciding, following up and doing. NoticePlanDecideFollow upDo

Try one question.

This is how a Load Check question feels: thinking first, then doing. Move the sliders.

Thinking and doing look about the same here.

Home Who notices when it needs doing?

Nothing you move here is saved. In the app, your partner answers on their own phone, and the two answers stay sealed until you both finish.

What you both keep track of, on both phones.

The Load Check is the start. The rest is the week.

    Birthdays, thank-you notes, calling family back. Who keeps track of each person, with time to spare.

  • Repair note

    This stays with you until you send it.

    After a hard day, a quiet way to start again, built from what is already in the app. Private until you send it.

  • How I like to be thanked

    Words, in personTime together

    Pick up to two ways. It shapes the Sunday Sync and the repair note. A preference, not a type.

What Commonly leaves out.

A few rules hold on every screen.

  • No scores.No points, streaks or rankings between you. Counts are information, never a score.
  • No debts.Nothing shows who owes what. A handoff is a request, and not yet is always an answer.
  • No types.No compatibility score, no personality labels. How you like to be thanked is yours to say.
  • No assumptions.Any two people who share a home. Colours belong to people, never to gender. Real names only.
  • No peeking.Load Check answers and the question of the day stay sealed until you both finish. Share cards hide names by default.
  • No nagging.A few notifications, scheduled. The app exists so you can stop being the reminder.
  • No promises.Commonly does not promise anything for your relationship. It shows the load and makes thanks easy.
  • No ads.No ads, no selling data, no tracking across apps. Only the two of you see what you add.
