Kitty Board

For couples

Less nagging, more thank yous. Spend the kitty on each other.

Kitty Board is for two people running a life together. Share the jobs, nudge with a paw instead of a fifth reminder, and spend your kitty on real time together. Breakfast in bed counts.

Free for the two of you. The Family plan adds Help me and hearts on every board.

Grown-up life, with a bit more credit

Not a chore chart. A shared plan, a fair split and something lovely to look forward to.

2x

No more nagging

A paw nudge says "when you get a sec" without the tone. It glows until the job is done, so nobody says it twice.

Shared goals

You both chip in. Date night, a weekend away, the kitchen you keep talking about: give it a price in hearts and save up together.

Credit where it's due

Every ticked job shows who did it. The invisible jobs finally get seen, and thanked.

Real life, not pixels

The hearts aren't the point. The lie-in is. Rewards are real things you do for each other.

No more nagging

Swap the fifth reminder for a paw

Tap the paw on a card and your partner gets a gentle nudge. It glows on their home screen and on the card until it's done. No raised eyebrows, no "I did ask".

  • Add a note: "Before your mum comes on Saturday?"
  • Attach double hearts to the job that really matters
  • They tick it, you see it, and nobody says another word

The mental load

See the invisible jobs, and who's doing them

Booking the MOT. Remembering the birthday present. Noticing you're out of bin bags. Put them on a shared board and they stop living in one person's head.

  • Cat heads on a card show who's on it
  • Hearts go to whoever does the job, so the jar keeps an honest tally
  • Priority shows you both what is due in the next three days

Shared goals

The kitchen you keep talking about, on a board

Big plans stall when they live in a group chat. Give the refit, the wedding or the weekend away its own board, share it, and put hearts on the jobs you're both dreading.

  • You both see what is left, live on each phone
  • Friends who are helping can view and tick for free
  • Save a prize for the end: dinner out when the last tile goes on

Double hearts

Make a busy weekend worth twice as much

Got a list as long as your arm? Switch on double hearts for your partner for the weekend. Every job they finish counts twice, and suddenly the gutters look rather tempting.

  • For an hour, the rest of today or the whole weekend
  • You can't double your own, which is rather the charm
  • Doubles never stack, so the kitty stays fair

Rewards

Rewards you actually want

Set prizes together and price them in hearts: a takeaway night, a proper lie-in, a spa afternoon. Cash one in when the kitty's full enough, then go and enjoy it.

  • Shared prizes either of you can cash in
  • Each prize keeps a tally, like "Had 3 times", so you can see which rewards really make life better
  • See how many hearts are still to go

Just for the two of you

What you put in the grown-ups' prize list stays between you two

Some rewards are for the whole family. Some are not. If you add children later, they only ever see their own rewards, never yours. We'll leave the rest to your imagination.

  • Children see their own Kitty Jar and prizes, and nothing else
  • Friends you share a board with never see your kitty
  • Choose who sees each board, person by person

Accountability that feels like encouragement

Ticking something off feels good. Watching your kitty fill feels better. Doing what you said you would, and being thanked for it, feels best of all.

  • Small wins add up: a tick, a little burst of hearts, a thank you.
  • You aren't keeping score of each other. You're both saving up for the same nights in.
  • Less "did you remember?", more "look what we did".
  • Less conflict, more credit.

How couples use it

Two of the couples we built Kitty Board for. (The names are made up; the bin bags are real.)

Sam and Priya

Couple, first flat together

Sam is a list person. Priya is an "I'll do it later" person, until there are hearts involved. They share a Home board and a Wedding board. Priya nudges instead of reminding, and switches on double hearts on Sam's DIY weekends. Every finished job lands in a Kitty Jar, so nobody feels taken for granted.

Sixty hearts in the kitty: a lie-in and breakfast in bed. The next prize is a secret.

Emma and Dan

Ten years in, with Lily (8)

Emma used to carry the whole week in her head. Now the Weekly planner is shared, Dan sees the invisible jobs, and he does the bins without being asked twice. Lily has her own jobs board and her own prizes. The grown-ups keep a prize list of their own, and Lily never sees it.

Friday is takeaway night. Saturday's prize is between them.

Questions couples ask

Is it fair if one of us does more?

That is rather the point. Hearts go to whoever does the job, so your Kitty Jars show who has been busy this week.

If it's lopsided, you'll both see it, and you can talk about it with facts instead of feelings. Then give the busy one double hearts for the weekend.

Will it feel like keeping score?

Hearts aren't a league table. You set the prizes together, and the best ones are things you enjoy as a pair.

It's built to turn "I always do this" into "look what we got done". Turn rewards off on any board where they don't help.

What can the kids see?

Only their own things. Children see their own jobs board, their own Kitty Jar and their own prizes, plus any board you choose to share with them.

They never see your Kitty Jars or the grown-ups' prize list. What you put there stays between you two.

Is it free for two?

Yes. Free covers you plus one. The two of you can share boards, nudge, give double hearts and fill your Kitty Jars from one rewards board, with up to three prizes.

The Family plan (£3.99 a month or £34.99 a year) adds Help me and hearts on every board. Children are free if you add them later.

Can we keep some boards to ourselves?

Yes. Every board has its own sharing: not shared, can view or can edit, person by person. The surprise party board can stay a surprise.

What if we just want a shared to-do list?

That works too. Leave rewards off and it's a plain, cheerful shared list that updates live on both your phones. Switch hearts on when you fancy a prize.

Free for the two of you. £3.99 a month for the lot.

Start free as a pair: shared boards, paw nudges, double hearts and a Kitty Jar each, on one rewards board with three prizes. Upgrade to Family for hearts on every board and Help me.

  • Family: £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year (two months free)
  • Your partner is included, and children are free if you add them later
  • Friends you share a board with can view and tick for free
