When I hear somebody say, 'there's an app for that,' I can most accurately describe the usual feelings evoked as 'exposing'. As in, me to myself. Well here are a variety of apps with a purpose I can engage with. They're all pregnant with potential for enhancing relationships and increasing accountability; one partner to another. Can I measure the ways and tones in which my wife has queried my scheduling a doctor, or interviewee appointment without checking with her first? Well, this story extolls the virtues of sharing a single, task-scheduling app – and sometimes task-shifting as circumstances change. Empathy is not abstract. These shared domestic labour apps, wisely handled, bring equity to relationships. Tailor them to your preferences, lifestyles, and changing and evolving roles. So that you don't complain in your dotage that, "I wish I'd consulted more,' as your partner (hopefully) croons, 'it's never too late my dear!" Or not. – Chris Bateman
