TL;DR
Two layers with the same name. The Tasks app is a read only ledger and it is free for everyone: it invents nothing, it just shows you things that were already true and were only ever said out loud once. The Orders track is the opt-in layer that hands out deadlines, and it is off unless you turn it on.
The app
It appears on your phone the moment somebody is waiting on you for anything, and it groups rows by who is waiting.
| Group | What lands there |
|---|---|
| Your Owner | The five orders, the curfew, the daily cage post with its streak |
| Her / Him | Your half of the flat, her rules line by line, his open ask |
| Yours | The rent, an active dare |
Rows only appear when they have a real clock or a real counter. Some things are rhythms rather than deadlines, and the app deliberately does not invent a due date for them.
There is also a What stuck block: each permanent consequence, and beside it the sentence that says how to undo it.
The Orders track
Turn it on under Settings, Content Preferences. From there your Owner from Landlord upward, or Sarah if you live at her place, can set a task with a day attached.
The track never issues the five shipped Owner orders as timed tasks, those already exist and counting them twice would make two systems argue. What it issues instead is one of five shapes: be dressed for so many days, be home before curfew so many nights, be seen somewhere before the day is out, hand over an amount, post it so many days running.
What sticks
Miss enough and something lands that does not expire. There are three, each with a repair:
| Consequence | The way back |
|---|---|
| A curfew, imposed | Seven nights home on time |
| The cold shower at home locked | Ask for it back, he will want something for it |
| A purchase put on your rent | Pay it off and it is yours |
The spa cold plunge is untouched by the second one, on purpose.
The week off
There is no safeword button. There is an in character way out: ask for a week off. It works, and it costs you standing with whoever you asked.
