The real problem

01 / 07

You’re not tired from doing the chores.
You’re tired from managing them.

The 9pm “did you take the trash out” text. The silent scoreboard nobody admits to keeping. The list that lives in one person’s head: that’s the heaviest thing in the house.

Dibs takes the list out of your head and puts it where everyone can grab it. Chores stop being assigned and start being claimed, on purpose, out loud, before anyone has to ask.

No nagging. No scorekeeping. Just a crew that sees the week and calls their part.

The part nobody sees

02 / 07

You’re doing chores at work.

Not the dishes. The remembering. The background thread that runs through a meeting: did the trash go out, whose week is it for pickup, is anyone tracking the thing that’s due Thursday. That thread has a name, and research has finally measured it.

Dibs owns the remembering. The list lives on the wheel, not in your head. Claim it once and it lands on your calendar, nothing left to carry silently through a workday.

How it works

03 / 07

STEP 01

Call it.

The whole chore list sits in front of you as blocks — bigger job, bigger block. Tap one, pick the day and time on the dial, and it’s locked to your name before anyone else gets there.

STEP 02

Own it.

Your wheel shows exactly what’s yours this week. Tap your housemate’s photo and you’re looking at theirs. Everyone’s week, one tap away, nobody has to ask.

STEP 03

Done is loud.

Check it off and the slice on your wheel goes dim. Credit lands where it should: one glance at the wheel says who showed up, no announcement required.

You’re not fighting about chores. You’re fighting about what each of you can’t see. Dibs makes the whole week visible — same wheel, same facts.

Built for real households

The Wheel

Your week, one glance.

Every claimed chore sits on the ring as a wedge — bigger job, longer wedge. Finish it and the wedge dims. Tap a housemate’s photo and you’re looking at their wheel instead.

AI Setup

Three questions. Your whole chore list, built.

Who’s home, how many in the crew, what matters most. Dibs drafts the household’s standing chore list, and it lives there until someone deletes it, not just for the week.

Works for two. Works for seven.

Calendar Sync

It lands on your calendar, not your conscience.

Claimed chores drop straight into iCloud or Google Calendar. Your Tuesday knows about the recycling before you do.

Message Board

Fridge notes, minus the fridge.

Pin a note the whole crew sees. “We’re out of coffee” hits different when everyone reads it.

Hearts & Points

Credit, made visible.

Points that celebrate, never scold. Every claim earns hearts the whole crew can see.

Household Pulse

Feel the hum.

A gentle read on how the home is running — momentum, not report cards.

Before you ask

07 / 07
Is it free?

Free during early access. Get in now, help shape it, and keep the good karma. Pricing comes later — early crews will hear it from us first.

What if someone in my house never claims anything?

The wheel makes the week visible to everyone: open chores sit there, in everyone’s pocket, quietly asking. You never have to be the one who says it. Most crews find the open slices get claimed faster than they expect; turns out people step up when stepping up is visible.

Couples, families, or roommates?

All three. Two people or seven, kids included — if they can tap, they can call it. Every member gets their own color on the wheel.

Does making chores visible actually help?

Yes, and it’s not just a nice idea. Research on couples finds that agreeing on who’s doing what predicts relationship satisfaction better than who’s actually doing more of it.4 Seeing the same week matters more than getting the math exactly right. That’s the whole bet behind the wheel.

Is this just for couples?

No. The invisible-remembering research isn’t limited to couples. The same recurring-vs-one-off structure shows up wherever people share a household and responsibilities.8 The wheel doesn’t care who’s dating who; it just needs everyone’s chores in one place.

Does it sync with our calendars?

Yes. Claimed chores land on your calendar automatically, so “Thursday: trash” lives next to “Thursday: standup.” Your week, one place.

Android?

iPhone first. Android is on the list, and yes, someone already called dibs on building it.
