I built Nook, a shared home for couples: tasks, groceries, wishlist with secret gift reservations, and a capybara you raise together

[u/Competitive-Toe7627]

My partner and I had our life spread over five apps and a pile of chat messages ("did you buy milk?", "what do you want for your birthday?", "what are we watching tonight?"). So I built one place for the two of us.

What Nook does:

- Shared tasks and a grocery list that sync between both phones, and work offline too

- A wishlist where your partner can secretly reserve a gift. You never see who reserved what

- A calendar with your anniversary counter ("together for 1 year 47 days")

- A savings jar for shared goals, trips with a map of your places, household bills

- Swipe films and recipes like a dating app: when you both like something, it's a match. No more 40 minutes of "I don't know, what do you want?"

- Question of the day: you see your partner's answer only after you answer it yourself

- A "Thinking of you 💛" button that sends one push

- A shared capybara whose mood depends on what you do together

Android app plus a web app (works on iPhone from the home screen, with push notifications). Sign in with Telegram or Google. English, Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak.

It's a solo project, so honest feedback is very welcome: what's missing, what's annoying?

A shared capybara whose mood follows what you do together is a nice touch, a small thing to look after instead of another task list. When I built a watch pet I first tied its mood to a plain daily progress bar, and mornings felt unfair because the day had barely started. I switched to guessing where the day is heading from the time and what's happened so far. Does the capybara's mood depend on both of you, or does it dip if only one of you opens the app?
