One household.
One app.

What it does

The household admin, handled together.

Shared to-do lists that both of you can see and tick off. A calendar that shows the whole household's week, not just one person's. Budgets and money overviews you can talk about over the same screen. In full:

• Both calendars in one view: each of you connects your own Google Calendar (read-only — OurSpace can look, never change anything) and the events appear side by side. You can add events inside OurSpace too, which both of you see.
• Shared tasks: due dates, priorities, who's doing it, and a place on the map so the errand can be found as well as remembered.
• One shopping list: live on both phones, with quantities, who's picking it up, and quick search links to Amazon or your own supermarket. Tell it which shop you're heading to and it sorts itself into aisle order, then learns the way round your branch from the order you tick things off.
• Dinner plans: an AI meal planner drafts the week's dinners around your tastes; accept the ones you fancy and the ingredients land on the shopping list in a tap.
• A recipe library: save the dinners you'd happily eat again, and future weeks are drafted around your own favourites first, using your ingredients and steps exactly as you saved them.
• A household handbook: the Wi-Fi password, how the front door works, where the stopcock is, who to ring — written down once, and shareable with a grandparent, sitter or guest as a read-only link that expires when you say.
• Budgets and money: accounts, direct debits, debts, pensions and assets, totalled into one net-worth figure.
• Setting up without the typing: download a ready-made spreadsheet, fill in what you already have, and upload it — accounts, assets, direct debits and contracts all land at once.
• Or hand it a statement: upload a bank statement PDF and OurSpace reads off the closing balance and the payments that look regular, then asks you to approve each one before anything changes.
• Household contracts: insurance, utilities, broadband and the rest, each with its renewal date, account details and notes, and a reminder in the app before it rolls over.
• Bin days: tell it your collection rotation once (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) and the app shows which bins go out, the day before and on the day.
• Birthdays: pulled from your Google Calendar, with a week's notice and gift ideas on tap.
• The kids' week (optional): each child's school days, clubs and routines, with who's dropping off and who's collecting.
• A noticeboard for the two of you: sticky notes, doodles and links, each clearing itself after 24 hours.
• Catch Up: a short digest, written for you each time you open the app, of what your partner has added or ticked off since you last looked.
• Your own AI assistant, if you want one: connect Claude, ChatGPT or Mistral’s Le Chat, and ask it about the household instead of opening the app. It's optional, it stays off until you set it up, and the connection guide above explains how.

OurSpace also runs in the browser at our-space.me, and installs straight to your home screen from there. The stores are the easy route; the web app is the same thing.

A look inside

Built for the phone in your pocket.

Your day, your lists and your money — side by side, so both of you are looking at the same thing. Shown here with sample data from a made-up household.

Where it comes from

Where OurSpace came from.

EdwardsApps mostly builds operational software for the construction trade, where the whole job is keeping several people working from the same information. OurSpace came from noticing that a household faces exactly the same problem (two people acting on slightly different versions of the week) with none of the tools to meet it.

It's made in the UK: designed and built in Buckinghamshire, priced in pounds, with bin rotations and renewal reminders that fit how British households actually run, and supported by the person who wrote it.

It's actively developed, and most of what gets built next comes from households saying where it doesn't fit. If your week works differently from an assumption in the app, that's worth an email; it usually means the assumption is wrong.
