Coming
Team Up
Two phones, one checklist.
A PCS is one move. Boris used to treat it like two. One of you booked the hotel. The other one had no way of knowing. Team Up puts you both on the same list. Neither of you makes an account to get it.
It arrives on , as a free update. Get Boris on both phones before then and it is waiting for you.
Most of this move lands on the spouse
Orders carry one name. The move belongs to the whole family.
One of you is doing in-processing all day. The other one is finding a house, chasing the paperwork and waiting on the movers. Then whatever else your household runs on: a school, a vet, a second car.
That second person is doing half the move. Often more. Boris has been handing them a copy of the list. From they get the same list, on their own phone, with the same power to check things off.
Team Up connects two phones, because two people carry the list. The move is still the whole family’s.
Nobody does the same errand twice
You are at the housing office. You do not know if the car got registered yesterday. So you text. They are in a briefing. You wait. That is the phone call Team Up deletes.
Tap a task to claim it. It shows up as taken on the other phone. Want to see what nobody has picked up? Filter to Nobody’s yet. Want your own morning? Filter to Mine.
Boris keeps one set of household answers for the two of you. They live on the phone that did the setup. That way your two lists cannot drift into different moves. Both of you tick and untick everything.
There is no score. No history. No count of who did more. You are both trying to finish the same move.
Every task sits in one of three states.
- Mine
- Partner’s
- Nobody’s yet
Setting it up takes a minute
-
One of you shows a code
Both phones need Boris first. It is free on both stores. Then open Settings and tap "Share this list with your partner."
-
The other one scans it
Point the other phone at the code. It reads on its own. Two iPhones, two Androids, or one of each: all three pair the same way.
-
Both phones show the same list
Everything you already ticked off goes over. After that, one tick shows on both phones.
Setup takes about as long as opening the camera. It all lives in Settings. You can stop sharing there too, any time.
Nobody else can read your list
Boris passes a sealed envelope between your two phones — and burns it on delivery.
It is sealed on your phone and opened on your partner’s. We never see what is inside, and we never see who you are.
Boris keeps your answers on your phone. No account. No tracking. No ads. If you pair two phones in your household, your checklist travels between them in a sealed envelope and is deleted on arrival.
Exactly what travels, and what it does not, is written out in full on the privacy page.
What Team Up will not do
Some of this is missing on purpose. It would cost you the privacy you installed Boris for. It stays missing.
-
No notifications
Their tick shows up next time you open Boris. Nothing buzzes. Nothing needs to know which phone is yours.
-
Two people, not a group
Two phones working one move. No group thread, no third phone, and no chat. Boris is not a messaging app.
-
Not a backup
Lose the phone and you lose the list on it. Boris was never a backup.
-
Offered once
Rather work alone? Close it. Boris never brings it up again.
Get Boris on both phones now
Team Up arrives . Install it on both phones this week and it is there when it lands. Free on iPhone and Android. It does not matter which two you have: two iPhones, two Androids, or one of each all work together. No account either way.
