Action items & events
- Things that need doing (reminders are action items with a due date)
- Things that happen at a date and time
- Pause, recur, or span several days
For households
Aruga
A personal household operating system — one place for a household to remember, plan, coordinate, and act on everyday life. More than a task list, calendar, or chatbot: the household’s memory and operating layer.
Household OS
Aruga
The core loop
Capture → Organize → See → Act
You (and the people you live with) capture what matters — chores, appointments, shopping, meals, medicines, notes. Aruga organizes them into clear objects, shows what needs attention now on Home and the calendar, and helps you act.
Tick a dose, buy an item, log a completion, or ask Noy Tomas, the household AI, to create or find things for you.
Who it’s for
Households of any size
Families, couples, housemates — including members without their own login (kids, helpers) when someone else looks after their schedule.
Shared home base
One household view for tasks, calendar, shopping, meals, medicine, money, and notes.
Members with or without accounts
Children and helpers can exist in the household without logging in — assignables for the people who do.

Design principles
Clear objects. Focused Home.
Action vs event
An action item needs to be done; an event happens. Tip: event “Mia’s birthday (Apr 12)” → action item “Buy cake (due Apr 10).”
No separate reminder type
A reminder is an action item with a due date/time (and optional recurrence).
Home stays focused
Needs attention, doses left today, upcoming items — what matters now.
Noy Tomas operates the system
Not a disconnected chatbot — he creates, finds, and updates structured household data you can access.
Aruga runs on Flutter (iOS, Android, web) with a Supabase backend. Each household’s data is private to its members.
