Nobody's quietly doing more. ChoreDivider splits chores fairly for couples and roommates. Everyone secretly rates how draining each chore is for them. You get more of what you mind less, and the load still comes out fair. Most chore apps split housework by count or by turns: one for you, one for me. But ten minutes of dishes is nothing to one person and the worst part of the day for another. ChoreDivider asks the question most apps skip: how draining is this, for you? HOW IT WORKS 1. Rate. Everyone in your home rates each chore from 1 (barely notice) to 10 (wipes me out). Your numbers stay sealed until everyone has rated, so nobody copies anybody. 2. Split. ChoreDivider works out the split on your device: fairness your way first, total dread as low as possible second. Calculated properly, not a rough rule of thumb. 3. See why. Tap any chore and it tells you why it landed with you: "You rated it 8, Marie rated it 3, she finds it lighter. Your two weeks still come out even." WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Your number counts for you. If you hate ironing, the app tries to keep ironing away from you and gives you something you mind less. Fair the way you mean it: the same time or the same effort, with your own agreed shares if you like, for example when one of you works full time and the other part time. A ledger, not a leaderboard. A rolling balance over 14 days shows who's ahead. Old imbalance ages out on its own; nobody carries debt. Less mental load: the app deals the chores every day and the ledger keeps count, so nobody has to hand out chores or track who did what. No points, no streaks, no levels. The fair split is the reward. Whatever the app deals, it explains. "Why me?" has an answer. BUILT FOR REAL HOMES Couples, roommates, families. Two people or a full house. Works with one device. Add your partner, roommates or kids by name, rate on their behalf, and hand over the device so they can check things off as themselves. Invite anyone with an iPhone or iPad through iCloud. Everything syncs on its own, works offline, catches up later. On iPad, the Today screen gives everyone their own column. Chores that happen once, daily, once or several times a week, up to four times a month, or every few days or weeks, on days you pick or days the app picks. Pin a chore to one person if it's always theirs. Swipe a chore to skip it today when you're eating out. More than one household? Switch between them without leaving any. Projects: the someday list (clean out the garage, paint the fence) lives apart from chores. Each of you ranks them two at a time, and the rankings merge into one shared queue where nobody's list wins. A single daily reminder, at the time you last opened the app or one you pick. No nagging notifications, no red badges. Trends: eight weeks of minutes per person, side by side. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no signing up. Your household lives in your own iCloud, not on a server of ours. No ads, no tracking, no data sold. Anonymous usage statistics can be switched off. Export everything as a file whenever you like. FREE AND PREMIUM Free for one person, 5 recurring chores and 5 projects, for as long as you like. With two or more, everything is free for 7 days, then Premium. Premium removes the limits and unlocks all eight weeks of Trends, for the whole household at once: one of you buys, everyone is in. Monthly or yearly subscription, cancel any time.

Einfall is a place for fugitive thoughts. The thought arrives while you are busy with something else — in a queue, on a walk, halfway through a meeting. Einfall is the fastest place to put it, and a place you can trust to keep it. Get it out of your head in a second. Deal with it later. Or never. One-time purchase. No subscription. Capture wherever you are Whichever device is nearest your hand, and never more than one gesture: • The Mac menu bar, summoned by a keyboard shortcut from any app • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets • Control Centre, on iPhone, iPad and Mac • The share sheet, for a link or a passage of text • The Services menu on Mac, for selected text in any app • Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight and the Action Button • Your voice, transcribed on your device as you speak None of them make you look at your stream first. Capture is free and unlimited, forever. One calm stream Everything you capture lands in a single flat list, newest first. No folders, no notebooks, no unread counts, no reminders that you are behind. Plain text you can read, edit and search. Tags if you want them, nothing to tend if you do not. A long stream is not a backlog — it is a notebook you trust. Do something with a thought, when you are ready Open the stream, pick a thought and fire an action: • Send it out — to Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Messages, Files, the share sheet or a Shortcut • Change it in place — tidy the phrasing with Apple Intelligence on your device, turn prose into a list, change the case, stamp the time it was caught, copy it • Fold it into another thought, so related notes gather in one place A thought that gets routed leaves the stream. A thought you no longer need is deleted, without ceremony. Both are good endings. Your own AI agent, if you use one Einfall carries an optional local server on Mac — off until you turn it on — so your own AI agent can read and work on your stream on your behalf. Whatever you can do in the app, your agent can do too. Nothing it writes changes a thought until you accept it. Private because there is nowhere else to be No account. No sign-in. No infrastructure of ours between you and your thoughts. Your stream syncs across your own devices through iCloud, and nowhere else. Dictation and Apple Intelligence run on your device. Einfall's App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected, because none is. You can lock the stream behind Face ID or Touch ID, export the whole thing as one plain-text file whenever you like, and keep automatic backups in a folder you choose. Free to capture. Pay once to unlock everything you can do with your thoughts. Capturing is free and unlimited, forever. Reading and searching your stream is always free. So are the in-place actions — copy, listify, change case and timestamps. The routing layer — sending a thought out to another app, folding one thought into another, and Apple Intelligence — gives you fifteen free fires. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks it for good, on every device you own, and for your household through Family Sharing. No subscription. Nothing to renew. Nothing expires. Your own thoughts are never held behind a lapsing fee. Einfall is the German word for an idea that falls into your mind unprompted. This is the place to put those thoughts before they are gone. Mac, iPhone and iPad. Requires macOS 26, iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.
