Check the fridge
Stop being the one who remembers everything.
The Fridge is one shared place for the reminders, plans, lists, bills and birthdays of the people you live your life with. Everyone gets nudged on their own phone, at their own time, and you can see when it's done.
For iPhone · Free while we test · No ads, no tracking, ever
Sound familiar?
The little things that fall through the cracks.
“Did anyone call the bank?”
“Mum, it’s 3 in the morning here.”
“The car insurance ran out last week.”
“It’s somewhere in the group chat.”
“Who’s buying milk?”
“What’s the Wi-Fi password again?”
Who it's for
One app for every group you share a life with.
Make a space for each group. Each space has its own people, reminders, calendar, lists and chat, and only the people in it can see it. Switch between them from the top of any screen.
Parents in Athens, kids in Los Angeles.
Maria sets "Send us your flight details" for Eleni at 09:00 her time. It rings in LA in the morning, not at 3 a.m., and Maria sees the moment Eleni taps Done.
Each person gets their own Done: "Sofia done · Eleni waiting".
Three people, one flat, zero arguments about the bins.
Bins and cleaning repeat every week with a name on them. Rent is a bill with a due date. The shopping list fills up all week and gets ticked off in the shop.
Eleni’s family never sees the flat, and the flat never sees her family.
Siblings sharing the care, without a 40-message group chat.
Doctor’s appointments go on the calendar with the address. Medicine pick-ups are reminders with a person’s name on them. The doctor’s and the pharmacy’s numbers are one tap away.
History shows what was done, missed or still open, so nobody has to ask.
The mental load, split in two.
Car insurance, passports and subscriptions all have a "renew by" date with a warning weeks ahead. Dinner plans and "I’m out tonight" live in one place instead of in someone’s head.
Who’s home is set by hand. The app never tracks where anyone is.
A house shared by three families.
Who’s staying when goes on the calendar. The jobs list and the water bill are shared. The alarm code stays in each person’s private vault, not in a chat.
Each space has its own people, so the cousins see the house but not your family.
Four friends, one weekend, everything in one place.
Flights and the Airbnb go on the calendar for everyone. "Book the restaurant" is a reminder with a name on it. The group chat is right next to the plans.
When the trip is over, leave the space. Your other spaces don’t change.
How it works
Tap +, say who, say when. Done.
Add it once
One + button for everything: a reminder, a sticky note, an event, or More for birthdays, renewals, bills, contacts and shopping.
Everyone gets nudged, on their own clock
An alert on their lock screen at the right local time, never in the middle of their night.
You see when it's done
Each person taps Done for themselves. "Cynthia done · Teresa waiting." No more chasing.
Made for people who live apart
Nobody gets pinged at 3 a.m.
Every time shows in both places, so you always know what time it is for them. Reminders follow each person's own clock and wait until their quiet hours are over.
Features
Everything that used to live on the fridge door.
Every day
Today
Overdue first, then today, then what’s coming. Tap any item to mark it done, snooze, edit or delete.
One + for everything
Reminder, Sticky Note, Event, or More for everything else, in two or three taps.
Reminders
For one person, several or everyone. Repeats daily, weekly or monthly. Snooze in one tap.
What’s for dinner
One line at the top of Today. Anyone sets it, and it clears at midnight.
Plans and dates
Shared calendar
Day, week and month, one colour per person. Add it to your own iPhone calendar with a private link.
Events and RSVP
Time, place with Open in Maps, and who’s Going or Can’t go. Photos from the day stay on the event.
Birthdays
Every birthday with the age they’re turning, reminded at each person’s morning time.
Renewals
Insurance, passports, licences. Warnings a month, two weeks or a week ahead, or on your own date.
The household
Bills and subscriptions
What to pay, when, and who pays. Monthly totals for subscriptions, and overdue bills stay red.
Shopping lists
Several lists, shared by everyone in the space, ticked off in the shop.
Sticky Notes
A wall of coloured notes for the things everyone should know. Pin the important ones.
Contacts
Doctor, school, plumber. Call, e-mail and map buttons for everyone.
Staying in touch
Group chat and private messages
A chat for each space, plus one-to-one messages only the two of you can read.
Who’s home
Home, Out or On my way, set by hand. No location tracking, ever.
Private vault
Wi-Fi, alarm codes and documents, encrypted on your phone and opened with Face ID.
Recently deleted and History
Put back anything deleted in the last 30 days, and see what was done or missed.
Private by design. Not by small print.
Only your people
Each space is seen only by the people in it. Your flatmates never see your family's things, not even the space's name.
A vault only you can open
Wi-Fi and alarm codes, passport copies, house info. Encrypted on your phone and opened with Face ID. Not even we can read it.
No location tracking
Home, Out or On my way is something you tap yourself. The app never knows where anyone is.
No ads. Never sold.
No advertising, no analytics, no trackers. Your family's life isn't the product.

Questions
Is it only for families?
No. Roommates, couples, siblings looking after a parent, a shared holiday house, a trip with friends. Make a space for each group you're in.
Do I download it from the App Store?
No. Open your invite link in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It opens like any other app and sends alerts to your lock screen.
Can I see it in my own calendar?
Yes. Settings gives you a private calendar link you can add to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. Chat and messages never go into it.
What if I delete something by mistake?
Anything deleted goes to Recently deleted for 30 days, and you can put it back. History shows what was done, missed or still open.
Is it free? What about Android?
Free while we test, and there will never be ads. The test is iPhone only for now. Tell us if your group needs Android.
