Meet Equal House

0:44

The little jobs that live in one person’s head, a Fairness Score you can both look at, one tap to share the week out, and a Kid Zone for the children.

Transcript

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.

Equal House in 30 seconds

0:30

The family organiser that shares the housework fairly: one tap to share the week out, an early warning for the busy day, meals, Kid Zone and Magic Add.

Transcript

Be honest — someone here is doing more.

So give it a tap, and the week gets dealt out again — fairly this time.

You'll spot the day that's about to go wrong, while there's still time to fix it.

Dinner's sorted, the shopping's written, and cooking isn't your job every night.

The kids get their own board, and yes — they get paid, once you say so.

Snap that school letter and we do the rest.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

A walk through Equal House

0:43

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.

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.

How fairness works

How the score is worked out, and the two ways the week gets shared out again.

The Fairness Score, explained

1:02

How Equal House splits housework by effort rather than by counting tasks: effort weights, the working it shows you, the three colours, and week, month or year.

More about Fairness Engine

Transcript

Nobody ever wins that argument. So here's a number you can both look at instead.

A big shop isn't a bin bag. Move the difficulty and the time, and the effort points move with them.

Sixty points against twenty-two. That's seventy-three, twenty-seven — not five tasks each.

It allows for how available each of you is, so an uneven split can still score well.

Green from eighty-six, amber from seventy-five, and red below that — worth a conversation.

Week, month or year — and what's shared out, or what actually got done. Check more than one.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Auto-Balance and Fairer Week Ahead

0:50

The two ways Equal House evens out your week: Auto-Balance shares it out in one tap, and Fairer Week Ahead lists every move for you to tick first.

More about Fairness Engine

Transcript

Feed the dog, the morning walk, the recycling — all sitting there with nobody's name on them.

One tap and it shares the week out on the spot. Fifty-six tasks, on track for ninety-five.

Every one of them has a name on it now, given to whoever's carrying less.

Fairer Week Ahead lists every move it would make, as tick boxes. Who from, who to, and when.

Untick the ones you don't fancy, and only the rest move. Fifty-five became fifty-three.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Why 50/50 isn’t always fair: work schedules

0:51

Tell Equal House when each grown-up is at work and it stops expecting the same from both of you, then shows where the hours actually go.

More about Fairness Engine

Transcript

Seventy-three against twenty-seven, and it still says well shared. Why?

Because the score allows for how available each of you is. A week at work counts.

Set the usual week once — Monday to Thursday, nine to five — and it expects less on those days.

Weeks not all the same? Put the shifts in by date, or read them off a photo of the rota.

And Time Breakdown shows everyone's scheduled time, by the kind of event.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

The shared family to-do list

0:53

One list the whole house can see: ready-made tasks to start from, given to people rather than groups, effort points that make the score honest, and bulk actions.

More about Fairness Engine

Transcript

Every task in the house, searchable, filtered, with the overdue ones at the top.

Magic Add, a ready-made task, your own, an event, or someone new in the family.

Nobody wants to type 'empty the dishwasher'. Tick a few, and Auto-Balance shares them out.

Pick who it's for. Or leave it to anyone, and Auto-Balance decides.

The effort points are what the fairness score actually counts. Not the number of ticks.

Select turns the bottom bar into Delete and Mark complete.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

The week

The calendar, dinner, the shop, parties, the school letters and Bric.

The calendar: everyone’s week in one place

0:41

Everyone’s week in one row with a count under each day, just the events, the day by the hour, and one event added for the whole family.

More about Shared calendar

Transcript

Seven days in a row, and a count under each. That's the whole household at a glance.

Tap a day for what's on. The tasks live on the Tasks tab, so this stays readable.

Switch to the hour view, and "am I free at four?" is something you answer by looking.

Add an event for one of you, a few of you, or everyone — and tell them it's there.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Meal plans, recipes and a shopping list by aisle

1:01

Decide the week’s dinners once, priced, with a cook on every one, a shopping list in the order you walk the shop, and recipes read from a photo.

Transcript

Seven dinners, priced, with tonight's cook already on the card.

How many days, how long you can cook, what it can cost, and what nobody in the house eats.

Every dinner has a cook on it, and changing who is one tap.

Grouped by aisle, so you're not doubling back for the tinned tomatoes.

Photograph a cookbook page, or a few of them, and it reads the recipe for you.

Ingredients and method, typed out, and kept in your saved recipes.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Add a party, start to finish

0:59

A party invitation comes home: pick the date, say who is driving, set a gift budget, and one form puts it on the calendar with the tasks shared out.

More about Smart planners

Transcript

An invitation comes home in the school bag. Party on Saturday, and now it has to actually happen.

So — whose party is it, and which of your two is going?

Pick the date off the calendar.

Somebody has to drive her there. This time it is Sam, and now it is written down rather than assumed.

Fifteen pounds for a present, and let it do the rest.

One form. The party is on the calendar, Sam is driving, and there are three tasks: take her, buy a card, buy and wrap the present.

With gift ideas already under budget. Nobody is holding all of that in their head any more.

Magic Add: photograph the school letter

0:32

Type it or photograph it, and Equal House finds the events and tasks in a school letter, each with a name on it that you can change.

Transcript

Six dates buried in three paragraphs, and somebody has to read it. Or paste it in here.

One event and two tasks, out of a letter about a disco, a PE kit and reading books.

Each task comes back shared out fairly, and you can tap the name to change it.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Bric: how we’re doing

0:57

Bric’s page: how the week has been shared, who did what, his suggestions waiting for a grown-up, a fairer week ahead, and what he can read for you.

More about AI assistant

Transcript

Bric's page starts with how the week's been shared — from your tasks and calendar, not AI.

Open it for who did what over the last seven days, and how busy each day ahead looks.

A suggestion from Bric waits in the Action Inbox until a grown-up approves it.

He asks how last week felt, too. The numbers can't tell you that.

If the week ahead could be shared more evenly, he shows you the moves first.

And he can read a letter, a screenshot, an invitation or a work rota, and turn it into plans.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

The children

A board of their own, and pocket money that keeps track of itself.

Kid Zone, stars and routines

0:49

Children sign in with the family’s six emojis, or a grown-up hands over the phone; stars, pocket money and routines that pay out, and no email address.

More about Kid Zone

Transcript

Children sign in with your family's six emojis. No email address, nothing to remember.

Or hand them your phone. Their board stays put until a grown-up takes it back.

Stars, their pocket money, and today's tasks, each with a big I did it button.

Brush teeth, get dressed, pack the school bag — and the whole routine pays out at once.

Three more stars and twenty pence, straight onto the board. And no streak to lose.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Pocket money and money jars

0:41

What a chore pays follows its effort, every reward can split itself between Spend, Save, Give and Invest, and Pay out pocket money records what you hand over.

More about Kid Zone

Transcript

Leave the amount blank and a chore pays from its effort points. Or type in what it's worth.

Turn on money jars, and every reward goes into Spend, Save, Give and Invest.

Forty, thirty, twenty, ten to start with — and it has to add up to a hundred.

Pay out pocket money records what you've handed over. Half, all, or any amount.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

Equal House on your computer

0:49

The same family on a bigger screen: tasks and Auto-Balance, the whole week on the calendar, the meal planner and Bric’s page, in the browser.

Transcript

Equal House runs in the browser on your computer too — the same family, and the same tasks.

Auto-Balance works the same way. One click, and the week is shared out.

The calendar has room for the full week, hour by hour, so the busy day stands out.

The meal planner lays the week's dinners out side by side, each with its cook.

And Bric's page shows how the week is shared, and the days ahead, all at once.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.

The Family Wall

0:48

A read-only day overview for a spare screen: today with a line for now, a lane for each of you, what is next, tonight’s dinner and the week ahead.

Transcript

Put the Family Wall on a spare screen in the kitchen, and the whole house can see the day.

Today's events run down the side, with a red line for where you are in the day.

Then a lane for each of you, children included, with what's done and what's still to do.

What's next, who's cooking tonight, and the parties coming up.

And the week ahead along the bottom, so nobody has to ask what's on.

Equal House — share the load, fairly.
