Rumi
What Rumi is
Rumi is a shared household app for coordinating chores, tasks, meals, shopping, household members, and a calendar. Its weekly view runs from Monday to Sunday and assigns each job to a named person. Chores can repeat on a set schedule, and completing chores or tasks earns XP toward household levels and a weekly streak. Meal plans and recipes connect to a shared shopping list, where Rumi adds missing ingredients. For dinner decisions, two people can privately swipe through recipes saved in the household until they both choose the same one. The Dinner Decider also works in a browser for up to six people without an account or installation. The household calendar collects dated chores, tasks, meals, important dates, and follow-ups, with reminders for deadline items. Rumi is available on iPhone and macOS in English and Latin American Spanish. The Free plan costs nothing and supports unlimited household members, with the current and previous week visible. Rumi Plus costs $1.67 a year or $2.99 a month for the whole household; both have a 7-day trial and add automatic chore rotation, workload balancing, full week history, extra people details, and themes.
