Summary

Equal House is a family planning app for coordinating calendars, chores, meals, money and other shared household work. Its Fairness Engine assigns effort weights to tasks and turns them into a household score from 0 to 100; Auto-Balance uses that score to redistribute upcoming chores. Planners cover meals and shopping, children’s parties, school runs and exercise. Magic Add can read a pasted or photographed newsletter, then suggest events and chores for review before saving. The Free plan supports planning up to three days ahead and includes shared calendars, meals, parties, family documents and more. Equal House Pro adds an unlimited planning horizon, calendar links and other tools, and costs £2.99 per household per month; an annual plan is £29.90 per year. The app is available on Android and iOS. Children use adult-managed profiles without their own email addresses, passwords or accounts. Equal House says it has no ads and does not sell personal information or use family data for third-party advertising.
