Finally. A household app that lifts the mental load.
Stop carrying the household in your head. Dame puts tasks, chores, and schedules in one place, synced instantly with whoever needs to know. No nagging. No guilt.
Created by Vince, a forgetful dad who never checked the synced calendar. He needed a system he'd actually use, so he built one: Domestic Assistant for Managing Everything, DAME.
“Finally an app my husband actually checks.”
- Sarah, mom of 3
Sound familiar?
The mental load is real. Dame gets it.
One of you carries the household in your head, remembering, reminding, tracking. The other means well but can't keep up. Calendars here, lists there, notes somewhere else. No wonder the mental load lands on one person.
Tired of juggling five different apps?
Dame puts tasks, chores, and schedules under one roof. Everything your household needs, in one calm place.
Tired of "I didn't know" moments?
Everyone sees the same thing, instantly. No more chasing down updates or wondering who did what.
Exhausted from deciding what to tackle first?
Dame shows you what matters now, in order. No pressure, no guilt. Just clarity on what needs doing next.
What that looks like with Dame
The coach just texted, practice time changed.
- You easily update. Soccer practice moved to 4pm? Change it in Dame. That's it.
- Everyone knows instantly. Your partner, the babysitter, grandma, they see it right away.
- No one drops the ball. Pickup happens on time. No "I thought you were getting them" moments.
Pickup happens on time, and nobody's caught off guard.
It's Sunday night and trash day is tomorrow.
- Dame knows whose turn it is. Trash day tomorrow? Intelligent chore rotation means no more "I thought it was your turn" debates.
- The right person gets reminded. No nagging from roommates, Dame sends a friendly nudge to whoever's up.
- It just gets done. Bins go out. No passive-aggressive texts. Everyone stays friends.
The bins go out, and nobody's keeping score.
Four pillars of calm coordination
Built for the way households actually run
One System
Dame brings tasks, chores, events, and lists under one roof, so you stop juggling five apps just to keep the household running. Everything your family needs to stay coordinated, in one place.
Unified Household
When you check something off, everyone sees it instantly. No more "I didn't know you already did that" moments. Dame works offline too - everything catches up the moment you're back online. And with one-tap visibility, you control who sees what. Some things are household-wide, some are just for you or select people.
Flow
Flow is built on research into how our brains handle responsibilities: decision fatigue, cognitive load, what makes a task feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Dame lines up your tasks, chores, and events and shows you what matters now, in order. You don't have to decide what's next. Dame does.
Calm by Design
Dame doesn't guilt you into productivity or gamify your chores with points and streaks. When it's time to rotate who does what, Fair Shares handles it fairly, by who actually likes doing what, not a rigid 50/50. Dame suggests, helps, coordinates. But never pressures.

Let's Talk About ADHD
