FairShift makes the invisible labor of household management visible, trackable, and fairly distributed. Unlike chore apps that only track who does what, FairShift reveals the hidden mental load - the thinking, planning, and remembering that keeps a home running. Based on Eve Rodsky's Fair Play methodology, FairShift introduces the revolutionary three-layer ownership model: - Conception - Who thinks of it? - Initiation - Who starts it? - Execution - Who does it? KEY FEATURES: - Fair Play Card Deck - 100+ household responsibility cards. Swipe to assign. - Partnership Score - See your fairness balance at a glance. - Invisible Load Tracker - First app to track mental labor alongside physical chores. - Pattern Radar - Detects imbalances before they become arguments. - Smart Nudge - Non-judgmental reminders that respect Full Ownership. - Retrospective Proof - Log completions with photos. - Partner Sync - Real-time sync between partners via CloudKit. - Mental Load Map - Visualize who carries the cognitive burden.
