Hubby - See who carries the mental load, not just who does it

by
One of you remembers everything: the dentist, the gift, the form due Friday, the milk that's almost out. That invisible noticing and planning is the mental load, and it usually falls on one person. Hubby makes it visible so couples can share it. The free core is fast shared task capture. Premium adds a weekly Sunday Letter that shows, honestly, how the load was split, plus gentle signals when one person is carrying too much. Most apps track who did the task. Hubby tracks who carried it.

Hey Product Hunt. I am the only person behind Hubby, so it is just me here all day today. I built this because of a pattern I watched play out at home and in pretty much every house I know. One person ends up being the one who remembers everything. Not the one who does the most chores necessarily, but the one who is always tracking. The gift that needs buying. The form that is due Friday. The fact that we are out of the thing. They carry a running list in their head that nobody else can see, and they cannot put it down. A normal to-do app does not fix that. It just gives the person who already notices everything one more place to write it down. The noticing, the planning, the remembering, that is the actual work, and it stays invisible. So Hubby tries to do the opposite. The free part is fast shared task capture, the kind you can do in two seconds while you are holding a kid. The paid part is the thing I actually care about: a weekly Sunday Letter that shows, honestly, how the load got split that week, plus quiet signals when one person is carrying too much. It is a mirror, not a scoreboard. The point is to notice together, before it turns into resentment. I would genuinely like to hear from you: who is the default person in your house, the one who tracks everything, and what is the one thing that always falls to them? That answer is most of why I built this.
