The couples chore app that balances housework based on real fairness — not a to-do list. Less resentment, more teamwork.
Free early access. No spam, ever.
The real issue isn't who mops the floor — it's who noticed it needed mopping, bought the cleaner, and reminded everyone. That invisible work falls on one person. Every time.
ChorePact doesn't just list your chores. It knows who's working late, who's exhausted, who always gets stuck with the dishes — and fixes it.
Equal Effort balances by difficulty. Equal Time balances by minutes. Low Stress routes chores away from whoever hates them. Pick what works for you.
No other app does thisWhen you add a custom chore, the app records who noticed the need. For the first time, planning and noticing get credit — not just doing.
Based on Harvard researchSee what your partner did this week and send a quick thanks. Research shows appreciation is the #1 buffer against chore resentment in relationships.
Guided prompts help you talk about what's working. "What felt unfair this week? What should we adjust?" Data-informed, not blame-driven.
Rough day? Switch to a lighter load — only essentials show up. Feeling productive? Take on extras. Away for the weekend? Everything shifts to your partner automatically.
Tap "Cook dinner" and get actual recipes with ingredients. Add them to your shared grocery list in one tap. Tips for every chore from laundry to lawn care.
Set weekly hours or rotating shifts (nurses, firefighters, retail). The engine automatically assigns more chores to whoever's free that day.
Complete chores, earn points, redeem them for real rewards — date night pick, sleep in, chore-free evening. Collaborative, not competitive.
Both partners pick chores, set schedules, and mark what they dislike. The engine handles the rest — every single day.
Browse 100+ presets across 10 categories or create custom tasks. Mark dislikes so the engine routes them to whoever doesn't mind.
Add work schedules (9-5, rotating shifts, or custom), day-to-day preferences, and fairness mode. The app adapts to your real life.
Each day shows exactly what's yours and why. Complete tasks, get tips and recipes, send thanks, and check in weekly to adjust.
Most apps are built for families or roommates. ChorePact is the first app designed specifically for couples — with the research to back it up.

ChorePact started the way most good ideas do — with a fight about dishes. We tried every chore app out there. They all had the same problem: one person set everything up, became the household manager, and nothing actually changed.
So we built what we actually needed: an app that doesn't just track chores, but makes the division genuinely fair. One that accounts for work schedules, bad days, and the invisible labor of noticing what needs doing. One that helps couples appreciate each other instead of keeping score.
ChorePact is a fairness app disguised as a chore app.
