How it works

Two rules.
That's the whole product.

Halfed is built around a single insight: the problem isn't that one partner won't help — it's that only one partner sees what needs doing. So we make everything visible to both of you, and nobody gets to hand work out.

Up and running in 5 minutes

From "I'll explain later" to fully shared, fast.

No setup wizards. No project boards. No learning curve. Here's everything a couple needs to start halving the load tonight.

  1. 1

    Sign up and create your family

    Register in 30 seconds. Your family is created automatically — no setup wizard, no forms to fill.

  2. 2

    Invite your partner with one link

    Halfed gives you a single invite link. Your partner clicks it, signs up, and is instantly added as the second and final parent.

  3. 3

    Add your kids as named profiles

    Give each child a name and an emoji. They don't log in — they're tags you attach to tasks that are for them.

  4. 4

    Drop tasks into the shared inbox

    Type them, paste them, or share them in from any app on your phone. Set a deadline. Tag a kid if it's for them.

  5. 5

    Claim what you'll do — nobody assigns

    Whoever sees the task first and has bandwidth says "I'll take it." The other partner gets a quiet heads-up and moves on.

One shared inbox — the end of "I didn't know"

Every task the family needs — school emails, birthday gifts, doctor appointments, the thing the teacher mentioned last Tuesday — lands in one place. Both partners see exactly the same list. No private lists. No hidden items. The invisible work finally becomes visible.

What you actually get: You stop being the only one who knows. He stops asking "what can I do?" — because he can see for himself.

  • Identical view for both partners — transparency is the product
  • Unclaimed tasks surface first so nothing slips through
  • Overdue indicator on anything past its deadline
  • Filter by any family member — see everything for one kid in a tap

Two parents. Your kids by name.

A family has exactly two parent accounts — enforced at the database level, so there's no "let Mum see it too" escape hatch. Your children live in Halfed as named profiles with an emoji, tagged onto whatever task is for them. No logins. No accounts to manage. No guilt trips.

What you actually get: Zero admin overhead. Two adults, one family, however many kids. No roles to configure, no permissions to forget.

  • Hard cap: exactly 2 parent accounts — by design, forever
  • Add up to 8 children as tag-only profiles (with emojis they choose)
  • Partner joins via a single invite link — one tap, no paperwork
  • No roles, no permissions, no admins — you're equal

Claim, never delegate — the whole idea

Nobody assigns. Nobody delegates. Nobody has a default list. A task sits visible in the inbox until one of you actively says "I've got this" — and then it's theirs. This single rule is what makes the load genuinely split instead of just labelled.

What you actually get: No more nagging. No more "I shouldn't have to ask." The task either gets claimed or sits there reminding both of you equally.

  • No "assigned to" field — ever. The data model literally won't allow it.
  • Either partner can claim any task, any time
  • Claimer completes — or un-claims if life happens
  • Completed tasks stay visible for a day, then archive for you

Share it in from anywhere — your phone becomes the funnel

Halfed installs as an app on your phone and registers as a share target. See a school email? Long-press, share to Halfed. A text from Grandma about the birthday? Same. The thing you just read on Instagram about the permission slip? Tap-share-done. No copy-paste. No "I'll add it later."

What you actually get: The task escapes your head the moment you see it. Your brain gets to let go — Halfed remembers.

  • Installs as a PWA on iOS and Android in one tap
  • Works offline — review cached tasks anywhere
  • Share target for any mobile app (Mail, WhatsApp, Safari, iMessage…)
  • Paste plain text and set a deadline in two taps

Every task has a deadline — no wishful thinking

A task without a date is a wish. Halfed makes a deadline required on every single task, because that's what turns the inbox into something useful instead of another list to ignore. Daily email reminders keep the 48-hour window covered — without your phone buzzing all day.

What you actually get: Nothing lives in her head until it's already late. The inbox does the remembering.

  • Deadline required on every task — enforced at the API
  • Daily email at 8am for anything due in the next 48 hours
  • Overdue alert email at 9am the next morning
  • One email per family per day — never spammy, never ignored

Real-time for two — no duplicate work

The moment your partner claims or completes something, your inbox updates — no refresh, no cross-wires, no "I thought you were doing that." A quiet toast slides in with "Alex just claimed: book the orthodontist." That's the whole notification surface. No red dots. No guilt pings.

What you actually get: The end of "did you already…?" texts. You both know what's happening, all the time, without saying a word.

  • WebSocket sync between partners — updates in milliseconds
  • No overlap, no duplicate claims, no wasted trips
  • Toast notifications — informative, never pushy
  • Works seamlessly across web, phone, and tablet
