Fairo

Housework, split fifty-fifty

Fairo splits the housework fairly between the people who share a home. Every chore has a weight, so washing up and planning the week's meals count for what they really take.

No account, no ads, no tracking. Fairo Plus is optional.

Not every chore weighs the same

Effort, time and mental load add up to the points of each chore. Invisible work counts too, so planning the meals counts as much as cleaning the bathroom.

  • Planning meals, remembering bills and booking appointments count
  • From 1 point for a quick, light chore to 9 for a long, heavy one
  • Repeat every day, on some weekdays, every few days or monthly
Chores by room: Cook dinner 5 points, Take out the trash 2, Wash the dishes 2, Vacuum 4, Do the laundry 4

A score that keeps no grudges

See the week on a balance beam in each person's color. Instead of a winner, Fairo shows the way to even.

  • Points by kind of chore, from the kitchen to the mental load
  • The mental load each person carries inside every chore
  • A next step, like one light chore from whoever is behind

  • Accept or decline right from the notification
  • Points always go to whoever does the chore

Good questions

Does everyone need the app?
Each person uses Fairo on their own iPhone, and the home is shared through iCloud. If two people share one iPhone, each one can pick who they are in the app.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign up. The home lives in your iCloud and is shared only with the people you invite. Noramis never sees your data.
How are the points counted?
Effort, time and mental load each add points, from 1 for a quick, light chore to 9 for a long, heavy one that takes a lot of planning. The points go to whoever does the chore.
Is it only for couples?
No. Invite everyone you live with, roommates or family. Each person has their own color on the scoreboard.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Check chores off with no signal and everything syncs when you're back online.
What does Fairo Plus add?
The monthly scoreboard and history, automatic balancing for the rest of the week, more app colors and six colorways of the icon. Monthly or yearly, with a free week on the yearly plan.
