What it does
One of you remembers everything: the dentist, the gift, the form due Friday, the milk that's almost out. That invisible noticing and planning is the mental load, and it usually falls on one person. Hubby makes it visible so couples can share it. The free core is fast shared task capture. Premium adds a weekly Sunday Letter that shows, honestly, how the load was split, plus gentle signals when one person is carrying too much. Most apps track who did the task. Hubby tracks who carried it.
The first iOS app that maps the mental load between partners. Built on cognitive-labor research.
Hubby tracks who notices a task, not just who does it. The gap is what the app is for. Hubby reads your week and writes back. Drawn from real research on cognitive labor. Daminger, Rodsky, Ciciolla & Luthar. Add by typing, by voice, or from your wrist. Your partner sees it instantly. The mental load gets credited where it's due. Twenty-four hues from a 1933 Japanese colour dictionary. Pick yours; we figure out a partner colour that pairs with it. Glance at the balance. Tap to add. Mark something done from the lock screen. Apple Watch keeps it within wrist'sfrom thehubby.app

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
