Stockholm: Who's doing household chores? There's an app for that -- in an effort to make "invisible work visible", Swedish engineering students have developed an app for families to organise and track housework.
Among the early adopters are Marko, 40, and Neha Sarcevic, 37, a married couple of business owners living in the wealthy Stockholm suburb of Taby with two small children, aged three and four.
"We thought, okay, let's try this out, maybe it can solve many of our issues that we have at home," Neha told AFP.
Her husband agreed, saying the app -- which has some 2,000 users so far -- "brought up the conversation at home. 'Like, okay, so if things aren't being done, who's responsible for them?'"
Neha scrolled through the tasks specific to their family on her mobile screen: hanging up the children's coats when they get home, emptying their gym bags, washing up, taking out the compost bin.
