What Rumi is
Rumi is a shared household app for coordinating chores, tasks, meals, shopping, household members, and a calendar. Its Monday-to-Sunday week assigns each job to a named person, and chores can recur on a set cadence. Completing chores or tasks earns XP toward household levels and a weekly streak. Households can plan meals and recipes, with missing ingredients added to the shared shopping list. For dinner decisions, two people can privately swipe through recipes already saved in the household until they match; the Dinner Decider also works in a browser for up to six people without an account or installation.
The household calendar gathers dated chores, tasks, meals, important dates, and follow-ups, with reminders for deadline items. Rumi is available on iPhone and macOS in English and Latin American Spanish. The Free plan supports unlimited household members and shows the current and previous week. Plus adds automatic chore rotation, workload balancing, full week history, extra people details, and themes. Annual Plus is $1.67 a year, billed $19.99 a year for the household, and monthly Plus is $2.99 a month. Both have a 7-day free trial.
