Built around one idea: share the home, fairly

Equal House pairs a one-of-a-kind fairness engine with the everyday planners, calendar and tools families rely on. Here's everything it does.

And the details that matter

More ways Equal House lightens the week

Speak it

Tap the mic and say what’s coming up — “book the dentist by Friday”. “Speak it” sits at the top of Magic Add, which drafts the events and tasks from your words — and you confirm before anything is saved. Part of Equal House Pro — snapping a photo or pasting text into Magic Add is free, up to a monthly allowance.

Magic Add

Paste or photograph a school newsletter and Equal House suggests the events and chores inside it — you confirm before anything is saved. It is the first choice under Add on the Tasks tab.

Celebrations with Bric

Tick something off and Bric cheers: a full-screen “Done!” with an Undo, a bigger cheer when your part of the day is done, and a small buzz when it has saved. Turn any of it down in Settings → Celebrations; sounds are Android only.

Ready-made tasks

No staring at an empty screen: Tasks → Add → Ready-made tasks lists the jobs most households actually have. Tick the ones that are yours, and share them out now or later.

One job, any of you

Give a task to two or more people and whoever gets to it first takes the credit — with a priority badge, an optional due date, and a “How to do it” note a child can read on their board.

Work patterns & shifts

Set each grown-up’s working hours, or real shifts by date — save Early, Late and Nights once and put them on as many days as you like, or read them off a photo of your printed rota. Night shifts end the next morning, and the Fairness Engine allows for the sleep afterwards.

Renewals

Car insurance, the MOT, home insurance, passports: note each date once with as much warning as you want, and it is marked Coming up before it falls due, or Overdue if it passes. When you renew, it asks for the next date. Part of Equal House Pro.

Places & directions

Add a location to any event or party, see it on a map and tap for directions.

Time breakdown

See each adult’s scheduled hours split by category for the week or month — who’s really spending how long on what.

Wellbeing

Take a Breath, a journal that stays on your phone, and UK helplines — including the National Domestic Abuse Helpline — a tap away.

Say thanks from anywhere

A Thanks chip on a job your partner has just finished, and a Week in Review that counts what you got done together — with no winner.

Connections

Link relatives and friends by a share code, see free/busy only, find a time that works for everyone, and RSVP to shared events. Sharing your own code, finding a time and proposing an event are part of Equal House Pro; joining someone else’s link and replying are free.

UK school directory

Pick your school from over 30,000 across England, Scotland, Wales and NI, then put the whole term on the calendar. Setting up a school is part of Equal House Pro.

Nested document folders

Organise the family’s paperwork with folders inside folders. Shared or private, with secure, signed downloads. On every plan.

Your colours, your currency

Pick a colour scheme and the whole app changes as you tap, on that device. Set the household’s currency once and pocket money, money jars and meal budgets all follow.

App Lock

Require your fingerprint or device PIN to open Equal House. Set per device, kept on your phone, and built to fail safely so you’re never locked out of your own data.

Today’s tasks

One on-device notification a day with how many tasks you have, and a tap opens them. Per-person, at 9am or a time you choose.

Routines on the days you choose

Morning, bedtime and after-school routines for kids and grown-ups — every day, on weekdays, on school days that skip INSET days and bank holidays, or when you work — with a live “Next:” line. Grown-ups see a streak; a child’s board leaves it out.

Set up with Bric

New here? Answer four quick questions and Bric sets up your family, the first jobs and a date on the calendar. It is free, and you can run it again from More.

Start fresh

Clear the chores, repeats, events and school runs — all of them, or everything before a date — and keep the family, documents and pocket money. For the owner or an admin, and it asks twice.
