School forms, dinner, the bins, the dentist — family life is full of little jobs.
And too often, all of it lives in one person's head.
Equal House counts the effort, not the ticks, and turns it into one fairness score.
Tap Auto-Balance, and the week is shared out by effort, and by who's actually free.
Everyone sees the same calendar.
Dinners are planned and priced, with the cooking shared out.
And the children get a Kid Zone of their own, with stars, routines and pocket money.
Equal House — share the load, fairly.
The to-do list isn't the hard part. Carrying it in your head is.
In most homes one person quietly tracks everything — what's for dinner, whose turn it is, when the form is due. That invisible work, the mental load, is exhausting and rarely shared. Equal House makes it visible, measurable and genuinely splittable.
Invisible work, made visible
Every chore carries an effort weight, so the heavy, unseen jobs finally count for what they are.
Shared, not delegated
No more being the household manager who assigns everything. The engine balances it for you.
Fewer resentment fights
A single, honest number replaces the “I do everything” argument with something you can both see.
From chaos to calm in four steps
Set up in minutes. Equal House does the balancing — you get a household that runs as a team.

Live a calmer week
Everyone sees the same agenda, kids earn for helping, and the mental load stops landing on one person.
A walk through Equal House
Who is carrying the week, everyone’s week in one place, dinner with a cook on every night, and a school letter turned into tasks — in under a minute.
Read the transcript
Rachel's doing seventy-three percent of it. So tap Auto-Balance, and the week is shared out on the spot.
The calendar is just the events — who's where, and when — with a count under every day.
Seven dinners, priced, and every one of them already has a cook on it.
Paste in a school letter and it finds the disco, the PE kit, the reading books.
Equal House — share the load, fairly.
This is what you actually get
Real screens from a demo family, the Taylors — the score, the day, dinner and the shop, the bit the children see, the house’s know-how, and Bric cheering when your part of the day is done.
Plan the week on a big screen
Equal House also runs in your web browser at app.equal.house: a week board, a week calendar, a meal plan you can drag, and a Family Wall that turns a spare laptop or the TV into the family’s day. Same account as your phone, and no separate price.
On a phone, Equal House is the app, so open this page on your computer to try it.

A board of their own where kids pitch in and earn stars and pocket money — with Bric cheering them on and a parent always in the loop.

Ask Bric, snap a newsletter, speak a reminder or connect Claude — Equal House drafts it, and you decide.
ExploreFairness you can finally measure
The Fairness Engine weights every task by effort, respects who's away or at work, keeps unsafe jobs away from children, and distils it into one number from 0 to 100. When the home tips onto one person, you'll see it — and one tap brings it back into balance.
- Effort-weighted — five quick jobs never hide one exhausting one
- Auto-Balance shares the week out, then tells you the projected score
- Away periods are skipped automatically
- Reassigning respects roles, so adult tasks never land on a child

The basics
What is Equal House?
Equal House is a UK family organiser app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and on a computer at app.equal.house: a shared calendar, a meal planner with 6,000+ recipes and a shared shopping list, kids’ chores with pocket money, the school run and an AI assistant, with a Fairness Engine that shares the household work fairly between the grown-ups. A live Fairness Score shows how the work is split, by effort rather than by count, and Auto-Balance moves jobs to whoever has room.
How does the Fairness Score work?
Every task carries an effort weight, and an effort-weighted ledger of who does what becomes a single 0–100 score for how the grown-ups share the home. 86 and above is green, 75 to 85 amber and under 75 red, which shows the load has tipped onto one person. You can see it for the week, the month or the year. Children are counted separately, on their own boards, and never scored. One tap on Auto-Balance shares out the upcoming chores straight away to bring it back towards balance; if you would rather choose job by job, More → Fairer Week Ahead suggests moves for you to accept. The Fairness Score page at equal.house/fairness-score works through it with real numbers.
Is it really fairer than just splitting chores 50/50?
Yes. A 50/50 split by count ignores that some jobs take far more time and energy than others. Equal House balances by effort and by who is actually free that day — giving no work to anyone marked as away on those days, and expecting less of anyone at work — so fairness reflects real life.
Do my children need accounts?
Not an account, but they do sign in. A child taps your family’s chosen set of emojis, picks their avatar and enters a PIN — and the code is only accepted on a device your family has approved. A grown-up can approve a device by signing in on it, or by sending a setup code to a child’s own phone. A child needs no email address or password, and only a grown-up adds their details.
Share the home. Lighten the load.
Join the families using Equal House to split chores, childcare and the mental load fairly — and finally feel like a team again.
