What is FairPlay?
FairPlay is an iPhone app for two people who share a home and want a fairer way to split chores. It turns household work into chore cards, counts effort and mental load with points, and gives both partners a shared weekly balance.

You know the feeling.
One of you always ends up doing more. The other doesn't notice, not because they don't care, but because the work is invisible.
Planning meals, restocking groceries, wiping down counters, remembering the vet appointment. The mental load adds up. And when it finally comes up in conversation, it turns into the same argument.
“I do everything around here.”
“That's not true, I just did the dishes.”
The problem isn't laziness. It's that the mental load is invisible. What you can't see, you can't share. FairPlay makes it visible.

Three screens, the whole story of your week.
A fairer home starts with visibility
Not all tasks carry the same mental load.
Planning dinner, remembering the dentist, noticing the empty fridge: every card scores Do, Think and Plan points. The balance reflects reality, not just task count.
See the imbalance before it becomes a fight.
A live dashboard tracks who's carrying what. When one partner has 70% of the points, you do not need to rely on memory. The numbers start the conversation.
Your household, your rules.
Choose built-in tasks or add your own. Walking the dog, scheduling the plumber, remembering toilet paper: if it counts as work, it belongs in FairPlay. And agree together on what "done right" means.
FAQ
Common questions about FairPlay
Direct answers about splitting chores, tracking mental load, privacy, setup, pricing, and how FairPlay helps two people share household labor more fairly.
Who is FairPlay for?
FairPlay is for couples, roommates, siblings, or any two people who split household responsibilities. It is especially useful when one person feels they carry more chores, planning, reminders, or invisible work than the other.
How does FairPlay split the chores?
You decide together. That's the deal. Recurring chores are carried by one partner or rotate. One-off chores can go to whoever has done less, so the balance keeps correcting itself.
Why points instead of counting tasks?
Points work better because chores do not all take the same time, energy, or planning. Thinking about meals, remembering the dentist, and noticing the empty fridge count too, so the split reflects Do, Think and Plan work.
What is the mental load?
The mental load is the planning, remembering, anticipating, and coordinating that keeps a household running. FairPlay makes that work visible by counting it inside each chore card.
Can I add custom tasks?
Yes. You can add any household task that matters in your home, from calling the landlord to watering plants or managing shared errands.
Do both people need an account?
No. FairPlay works without account setup. Add both names, choose tasks, deal out the cards, and start tracking the balance in less than a minute.
Is my data shared anywhere?
No. FairPlay does not collect names, scores, chores, or personal household data. Your information stays on your phone.
Can FairPlay help reduce arguments about chores?
FairPlay turns vague feelings into a visible balance, so the conversation starts from shared facts instead of memory or blame.

FairPlay is free to download. Eligible new subscribers can try the yearly plan free for 7 days. It then renews at $49.99/year unless canceled. A $6.99/week plan is also available without a trial. Apple handles billing, and local pricing is shown on the App Store page.
