FairShare โ€” the mental load OS for couples. Not a chore chart, not a bill splitter. You're not crazy. You're carrying a lot. FairShare helps you split the invisible work, so your partner owns whole areas of household life โ€” not just "helps" when asked. Inspired by Eve Rodsky's Fair Play method, FairShare replaces chore charts with over 100 cards. Each card is full ownership: Conceive, Plan, Execute. No more delegating. No more reminding. No more mental load running your life. WHY FAIRSHARE IS DIFFERENT โ€ข Card-based, not task-based โ€” own the whole domain, not one-off tasks โ€ข AI Brain Dump โ€” say what's on your mind; we turn it into cards โ€ข Noticing Score โ€” the only app that measures who notices what needs doing, not just who does it โ€ข Visualizer heat map โ€” see the invisible load made visible โ€ข A shared docket โ€” recurring cards come back when they're actually due, instead of quietly settling forever โ€ข Built for every household โ€” two-parent, same-sex, single, blended, roommates โ€ข Weekly check-ins โ€” renegotiate with kindness, not blow-ups โ€ข Minimum Standard of Care โ€” no more "but you didn't tell me how" KEY FEATURES AI mental load interceptor Speak or type what's running through your head. The AI turns it into clean cards across Home, Kids, Out, Wild, and Unicorn โ€” and suggests who should own each one. 100+ card deck Every domain covered. Filtered to your household shape during onboarding, so you only see what's relevant to your life. Invisible load visualizer Dashboard heat map of who holds what. Track imbalance and watch it shift over time. Noticing Score The signature number: how much of the household's noticing โ€” the invisible "I'll remember it" work โ€” lands on you. Tap a card to rebalance, then share your Report Card to start the conversation. Weekly Re-deal About 15 minutes a week. Structured, calm prompts to renegotiate cards and update Minimum Standards of Care without the resentment loop. Renegotiation Coach One card not working? Say what's off in your own words. You get a no-blame reframe, three concrete ways to re-deal it, and one question to ask each other out loud. The Unicorn card Your hobbies, friendships, dreams. Protect your own bandwidth โ€” it's a card too. Built for all households Two-parent, same-sex, single-parent + co-parent, blended, roommates, solo, multigenerational.

Read full description

Zenframe is the calm family app that brings the calendar, meal plan, shopping list, tasks and kids' routines together in one place โ€” in one app that every adult in the family shares. TODAY Open the app and see what the day actually holds: appointments, dinner, tasks and the weather. No hunting through four different apps. SHARED FAMILY CALENDAR Every appointment in one view, colour-coded per family member. Connect Google Calendar or Apple Calendar and work commitments follow along automatically. DINNER AND SHOPPING Plan the week, pick recipes, and send the ingredients straight to the shopping list. The list updates for everyone in real time while you're standing in the shop. KIDS' ROUTINES A morning routine with pictures, recurring chores, and points children actually understand. One shared score that counts the same no matter which screen it's logged on. ASSISTANT Ask by text or voice: "add football practice on Thursday", "what's for dinner tomorrow". The assistant confirms before it changes anything. PHOTO FRAME Send pictures to the Zenframe display on your wall at home โ€” or to the grandparents'. INVITATIONS AND PARTIES Create invitations, keep track of who's coming, and share a wish list for birthdays. Zenframe is made in Bergen, Norway, with a focus on calm and clarity over noise โ€” for families who want to spend less time on logistics and more time with each other. Requires a Zenframe account. Try it free โ€” no commitment.
