Our Mission
We’ve been trying to overcome the challenge of living together as a couple for more than 10 years and we finally understood what empowers us to be the Cutest Couple!
Here are some things that we want to improve with our app:
Eliminate mental load
Most of the stress we feel is when we have to plan and remember all the things we want to do. If only we had a list with recurrent tasks to help us eliminate this mental load.
Feel understood and praised
We’re doing quite a lot of work daily to keep the house clean, put food on the table and be a good partner. This has become so “normal” that is often overlooked. We want to change that!
Prioritize yourself first
We are often so caught up in doing things for others that we forget about ourselves. This app is designed to boost your rewards when you do more for yourself!
Healthy competition & Cooperation
When playing a game, we want to complete our quests as fast as possible so we can become stronger than our opponent. We’ve added a little bonus for cooperation as well.
Achieve life balance
Understanding what we focus most of our time on with proper visuals can help us define a better strategy to have a balanced lifestyle where we cover all our personal and couple needs. Now you can identify areas for improvement easily!
Eliminate nagging
Studies show that over 40% of couple communication is focused on tasks and responsibilities. A shared list of recurrent tasks you can plan in a single day will eliminate this and leave room for more meaningful conversations.
Our Team
We are all about transforming love into a game that two can play and both win when they plan their day-to-day tasks well. We believe that everyone deserves to be appreciated, rewarded and stress-free, because life’s too short not to have fun along the way!
Vlad
Developer
This app is so good that I use it to schedule bug fixing and sprints. Too bad all the coins I get, are virtual.
Kriszti
Developer
If only I could do my chores as well as I’m coding. Still trying to find a way to make this app mop the floors by itself!
Cristina
Project Manager
I like telling people what to do, so this app will probably take that away from me. I guess I’ll need another hobby!
Adela
Quality Assurance Specialist
I’ve been nagging my husband for more than 10 years so he can come up with this app! You’re welcome!
Ovidiu
Game Designer
My laziness comes up with the most crazy ideas to do things without too much effort.

I answer the question: “How will the user know how to do this?”, so you don’t have to ask it!

Our story
We love each other a lot but the battles of keeping up with our daily responsibilities was something that we often lost for years to come.
We made a decision to fix this! Discover our story below!
How did it all started?
We always had difficulties keeping up with work, house chores, personal care and social life. It felt that everything is urgent and must be done, otherwise the world would explode.
My wife felt that she’s doing most of the house chores and I don’t support her as much as she would like to. Obviously that was not my intention. It was just that I didn’t find any motivation to do anything around the house, I just wanted to relax, play a game and take some time off from work. But that didn’t solve any of the responsibilities we had.
So we started asking ourselves the following questions:
Guilt
Is this what life is? Do what needs to be done or feel guilty for not doing it?
Praise
How do we understand and praise the efforts each of us are making every day?
plan
How can we plan our daily lives and stop reacting to what happens around us?
Feel
How do we keep doing things over and over with a positive and lovely attitude?
an Idea has emerged!
We are both Data Analysts, therefore we work with numbers every day, we preach how informed and measured decisions are the recipe for success, but it never occurred to us that we need to implement what we preach in our household as well!
Let’s measure it!
Let’s start to measure how much each of us does everyday! That would make both of us understand and praise how much effort we both do on our day-to-day lives. How are we going to do that?
So we pulled up a piece of paper and started writing down every single task we do on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly basis. We got to a total of 65 tasks!
We went through 1 (one) month of trial and error until we got to a decent solution:
- Looking for a tool to schedule and track tasks (we tried 5 tools)
- We used professional tools to create dashboards
- We used connectors to transfer data from the tool to the dashboard
- We made countless workarounds to get to the results we wanted
Let the games begin!
After setting up everything with some discomfort here and there, we’ve added some incentives to motivate us to get things done. Here are some of them:
- XP (experience) rewards for tasks we do to take care of ourselves personally.
- Gold Coins rewards for chores and errands.
- A leveling system to boost our rewards.
- A cooperation bonus (Couple Bonus) for tasks we do together.
We wanted to add more but we were limited by the technology we used at that time.
The race has started!
We were astonished to find the effect of our little project, we were NOT doing our day-to-day responsibilities anymore, we were playing a game! Here’s what we found:
- We were grinding to level up faster and get more rewards.
- We started to think what can we do for ourselves to gain more XP.
- Our attitude changed, our conversations improved, we cooperated to gain more.
- We didn’t have to tell each other what to do because we both had the same list.
- Everything was in order, for once!
let’s make an app!
After all the amazing effects this project has done for us, one moment in our lives made us believe that this needs to become an app that all couples can use.
That was the moment my wife said that ever since we started using this improvised tool, she feels ready to have another child with me. At that point we both realized the value this can bring to all couples and that it would be selfish to keep it for ourselves.
How do we make an app?
That’s when, our friends, Vlad and Kriszti came into our aid to translate our improvisations into code. Cristina documented all the requirements and kept track of the progress of the project. Adela optimized the content of the app and adapted the tasks for a larger audience and Ovidiu has designed the interface of each function, created social media pages and this lovely website you are on, right now.
We’ve been working together for over a year to make this app available for everyone, and we truly believe it will make a difference in every couples life, so we can all be part of a Cutest Couple!
Thank you for reading our story and for all your support!
