Evenhaus
Evenhaus is a shared chore app for roommates and couples, built by Haseeb Sagheer. It rotates chores automatically and gives each one effort points, so a balance screen shows who has done their fair share. It is free for the whole household.
Evenhaus is one shared chore chart for a whole home. It rotates the chores, weighs each one by effort, and shows everyone's fair share, so nobody has to keep score in their head.
Most chore apps count tasks. Evenhaus counts effort. Each chore is worth points, so taking out the trash and cleaning the bathroom are not treated as equal. A balance view shows each person's points against their fair share for the week, and who is ahead or behind.
It is free for everyone in the home, with no ads. Premium is optional and one purchase covers the whole household. Data is stored in the EU.
The problem
Splitting chores by count is unfair, because taking out the trash is not the same work as cleaning the bathroom. Evenhaus splits by effort.
Who it is for
Flat-shares, student houses and couples.
