Who actually does more at home? A lot of the work that keeps a household going is easy to miss. Remembering appointments, planning meals, keeping track of what everyone needs. It usually isn't shared evenly, and it usually doesn't get talked about. Balance helps you change that. You and your partner each answer a few simple questions by swiping through them. It takes about two minutes. Balance then shows you a clear picture of who is carrying what, so you can stop guessing and start sorting it out together. See the invisible work Get a clear view of how the household and emotional work is really split between you, across the practical, mental, and emotional sides of running a home. Compare your answers See where you and your partner agree, and where you each assumed the other was handling it. It gives you something concrete to talk about instead of a vague feeling that things are uneven. Know what to focus on Each week you get personalized notes that point to where the load is heaviest and suggest a few practical changes you can actually make. Rebalance and keep track Assign tasks as yours, your partner's, or shared, and check in each week to see how the balance and your mood shift over time. Stay in sync Connect with your partner and your results update on both phones automatically. Balance is for couples and parents who want a fairer share of the work at home, and an easier way to talk about it. Available in English, French, Spanish, and German. Balance offers an optional premium subscription that includes weekly check-ins, the shared to-do planner, and personalized insights.
