What you get

  • Add every job with minutes, how often and who does it: one person, shared by percent, or alternate weeks
  • A starter list of about 30 jobs, including the invisible ones: meal planning, school forms, birthdays and gifts, booking appointments, noticing what's running out
  • Three views side by side: home jobs, total work with paid work and commute, and free time, so no single number takes a side
  • What-if and closest swaps: move or re-split any job and watch all three views change, with up to three single-job moves that bring the numbers closer
  • Optional effort weighting, a printable Mon-Sun weekly rota, and 2 to 6 people with editable names

Who it's for

People sharing a home, usually couples with children, who want to see the whole household workload, planning jobs included, as hours a week in one place.

Questions

Is this relationship advice?

No. It is a workload calculator, not relationship advice or counselling. It counts the hours you enter and doesn't decide who's right. It gives no scripts and never says anyone should do more.

Does it include the planning and remembering jobs?

Yes. The starter list includes meal planning, school forms, birthdays and gifts, booking appointments and noticing what's running out. You enter the minutes for each, and they count like any other job.

Why three views?

Home jobs, total work (paid work, commute and home jobs) and free time can point in different directions. They are shown side by side so no single view takes a side.

What if we are not a couple, or there are more than two of us?

It works for 2 to 6 adults with editable names. Nothing is gendered, and you can share a job by percent or alternate weeks between any of you.
