Counted across every household using Equal House. Updating as you watch.
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.

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 family planning app for iPhone and Android that organises your whole household — calendar, chores, meals, money and more — and uniquely shares the work fairly between everyone using a live Fairness Score.
How does the Fairness Score work?
Every task carries an effort weight. As tasks are completed they feed an effort-weighted ledger, which Equal House turns into a single 0–100 score for your household. Green means the load is balanced; amber and red show when it has tipped onto one person. One tap on Auto-Balance redistributes upcoming chores to bring it back into balance.
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 — including skipping anyone marked as away, and allowing for 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. No email address, and no personal data is collected from a child.
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.
