Nobody keeps score at home. Everybody keeps score at home. "I do everything around here." "Are you kidding, I'm the one up at 3am." Neither of you is lying: we remember our own effort perfectly and the other person's barely at all. Fair Share replaces the feeling with minutes. Each of you logs the time spent on the baby, meals, cleaning, dishes, errands. The scales on the home screen tip live towards whoever is carrying more. No blame, no spreadsheet — one number you both can see. LOGGING TAKES TWO SECONDS • Timer: start it, get on with it, stop it • Quick add: one tap on "Dishes" logs your usual duration • Manual entry: "1 hour with the baby, last night" • Voice: say "35 minutes of dishes" and the app fills it in for you • Widget: shortcuts right on your Home Screen, no app needed THE SCALES TODAY, THE TREND OVER TIME One evening proves nothing. A month does. Fair Share shows the gap over 7 days, the month and the year, broken down by category: who carries the baby, who carries the kitchen, where the imbalance actually lives. Every entry stays in the journal, editable any time. FOR TWO, OR FOR FIVE As a couple, you get the scales. As flatmates or a family, the home screen switches to a leaderboard, up to 5 people. Everyone picks their own name and colour. ONE PURCHASE, FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Solo tracking is free and unlimited. To share a household and see each other's entries live: 4.99 once, forever. One person pays, everyone else joins for free. No subscription, ever. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything syncs through your own private iCloud. No account to create, no server of ours, no ads, nothing sold. What you log never leaves the household. Fair Share will never tell you who's right. It just tells you how many minutes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fellow at none against Fair Share's 1. Fellow also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Fair Share's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
