Halves is a shared task app where the Home Screen widget IS the experience. Add a task, assign it to your person, and check it off from the widget — without ever opening the app. Built for couples, roommates, and anyone sharing life with one other person. Amber for you, olive for them. Real-time sync. End-to-end encrypted. Interactive widgets (small/medium/large), couple streaks, nudges, activity log, NLP quick-add, Siri shortcuts, dark mode, and solo mode. Free. No account required.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Halves because my partner and I couldn't find a shared task app that didn't require constantly opening an app. The insight was simple: iOS widgets are interactive now. So what if the widget was the entire experience? Halves lets you add a task, assign it to your person (amber for you, olive for them), and from there, everything happens on the Home Screen. Tap a checkbox on the widget. See your person's tasks update. Check the streak counter. All without launching the app. Some things I'm proud of: - The retro-flat design (warm cream, sharp corners, vintage stationery feel) — it looks like nothing else - Couple streaks (consecutive days where both of you complete tasks) - End-to-end encryption (AES-GCM) — your task list is between the two of you - Natural language quick-add: type "groceries tomorrow high" and it just works - Solo mode: works great for just you too It's free, no account required (anonymous auth gets you started), and I'm the only person working on it. I'd love your feedback — what would make this better for you?

This is really cool, and congratulations on the launch. Do you envision this being used more for personal, everyday life or is there a place for it in the workplace too?

@leah_dyke Thank you! Honestly we made it for ourselves- me and my wife splitting groceries, chores, household stuff.

But I could totally see it working for two coworkers who share a workload. The whole point is two people, one list and doesn't really matter what the list is about.
