In their own words
Equal House
Equal House is a family planning app for households dividing chores, childcare and mental load. It combines shared calendars, chores, meals, money, shopping lists and other household planning with a live Fairness Score. Each task receives an effort weight, contributing to a household score from 0 to 100; Auto-Balance uses that score to redistribute upcoming chores. Planners cover meals and shopping, children’s parties, school runs and exercise. Magic Add can read pasted or photographed newsletters and suggest events or chores for review before saving. Pro can connect Google, Outlook, Apple or school calendars, and link Claude or other AI assistants with confirmation required for changes. Children use adult-managed profiles without email addresses, passwords or independent accounts. The app runs on Android and iOS. A free plan supports planning up to three days ahead. Equal House Pro costs £2.99 per household per month, or £29.90 per year.
