For couples sharing a home
The tiring part isn't the washing up. It's remembering the washing up.
So Even does the remembering. It tells each of you what's yours today, reminds you before it's due, and at the end of the week shows how the work actually split between you.
Coming to the App Store. A free week on iPhone, no card. No ads, no points, no streaks.
Nobody has to hold it in their head
Knowing the bins go out tonight, that the prescription runs out Thursday, that somebody has to book the thing — that is the half nobody counts and one of you is usually carrying. Even takes it over.
Every morning
What's yours today
Your own chores, not a list of what your partner has left to do. One message at eight, another two hours before the day's meant to be wrapped up, and a note in the evening about anything that didn't happen.
Every week
How it actually split
Minutes of work, both of you, over the household's own week. Not a score and not a running total: each week stands on its own, and the two of you decide together when one is done.
Nobody gets assigned anything
You cannot hand your partner a chore in Even. Work you want them to pick up becomes a proposal — something they see, and answer. A list one person can fill on another person's behalf is just a way of nagging with extra steps.
The one exception is the check-in, where the two of you are reading the same screen and agreeing out loud. Then it moves at once, because you both just said so. The same rule runs the other way: closing a week early, or calling it fair for now, is a question to your partner, never a decision made for them.
What it actually does
Small, and finished. Even does a short list of things properly rather than a long list nearly.
One home, two phones
Add a chore on yours, it is on theirs. Works offline and catches up when there is signal.
The weekly check-in
On the day your household picks, Even reports how the week actually split and offers to move something. You choose, together, in about two minutes, and the week ends when you say it does.
Even does the nagging
Three messages a day at most, all about your own chores, plus a note when your partner picks up something of yours. Nothing in Even lets one of you tell the other they are behind, because that was never a feature, it was an argument.
Say thank you
Mark something they did, and write a line about it if you want to. It is the only place in the app one person writes to the other in their own words, and it is the best thing in it.
Fair for now
Somebody is ill, or travelling, or in the middle of something. Say so, your partner agrees, and Even stops reading the week as unfair. It is an annotation in the margin, not a suspension of the app.
On your home screen
A widget with the next few days of your own chores. Tick one off there and it counts in Balance like any other, with no signal needed.
No points. No streaks. No badges.
Not because we ran out of time. A score turns housework into a game one of you is losing, and that is a worse problem than an uneven week. Balance covers one week and then starts again; Even never renders a running total, because a debt between two people living together is the thing this app exists to avoid.
A level week gets a quiet acknowledgement and nothing else. Even has one thing to say when it goes well, and it says it once.
Questions
Is it really only for couples?
Yes, by design, and the app says so on its first screen. Everything in Even is built around one week split between two people; with three it becomes a rota, which is a different product.
Does my partner see everything I write?
Everything in your household, yes — chores, photos, notes, the lot. That is what sharing a home in Even means. They cannot see your email address or your password, and nobody outside your household sees anything at all.
What does it cost?
The first week is free, with no card asked for. After that Even needs an Even Plus subscription, and one subscription covers both of you. It is sold through the App Store, which shows the price before you buy. There is no advertising in it and there never will be.
Can I start before my partner has the app?
Yes. Set up the list on your own and send the eight-character invite code whenever they are ready; they land on the same list the moment they use it. Balance stays closed until there are two of you, because there is nobody to be even with yet.
What happens if we stop using it for a week?
Nothing. Even does not punish a gap, does not reset a streak — there is no streak — and does not carry the missed week forward. You pick it up where you left off.
Do you sell my data?
No, and there is no arrangement under which we would. Analytics and crash reports are on unless you switch them off in Settings → Privacy; even on, they carry counts and categories, never a chore name, a note, a photo or an email. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is sent.
Can I delete everything?
Yes, from inside the app, in two taps, permanently. See Delete Account.
Start with the chores you already do
Setup is naming the work and saying who does what. Ten minutes on a Sunday, and the argument has somewhere to go other than at each other. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it's on the App Store.
