Quick Start

Name the household, choose how many people participate, select common chores, and generate a first schedule.

Full planner

Add member availability, edit chore details, set exclusions, and review every assumption before generation.

Methodology

What makes this different from a chore chart?

The planner considers expected time, modest effort adjustments, availability, eligibility, and recent rotation. It shows workload bars instead of a fairness percentage because household context cannot be reduced to one precise number.

Should everyone have the same number of chores?

Not necessarily. Time, effort, and availability may make different chore counts reasonable.

What happens when someone is away?

Use vacation mode or a temporary exclusion, then regenerate unlocked assignments.

Where is household information stored?

The planner uses local browser storage. No account or cloud storage is required.

Using this utility

Use the schedule as a starting point for a household conversation.

This planner is for households that want a repeatable way to consider time, effort, availability, eligibility, and recent rotation without pretending that fairness is one universal number.

What the result means

The generated schedule proposes assignments and shows workload bars so you can see how the plan was distributed. Locked choices stay under your control, and regenerating affects only assignments the planner is allowed to reconsider.

Example: Equal chore counts can still mean unequal work

Synthetic example: Alex receives two chores expected to take 40 and 35 minutes, while Jordan receives three chores expected to take 15 minutes each. The counts are different, but the expected workloads are 75 minutes and 45 minutes. Availability, eligibility, and recent rotation may make that result reasonable—or may reveal an input the household should change. Compare workload bars and the actual constraints instead of treating the number of assigned chores as the fairness score. The proposed schedule is a starting point for a household decision, not a judgment about anyone’s effort.

Important limitations

A schedule cannot measure every constraint, preference, accessibility need, or caregiving responsibility. Review the result together, adjust anything that does not fit, and use vacation or exclusion controls when circumstances change.

Questions before you rely on the result

Why can chore counts differ between people?

The planner considers expected time, effort, and availability. Similar workloads can reasonably contain different numbers of chores.

What should I do with an unassigned chore?

Review eligibility and availability, then assign it manually or revise the inputs before regenerating unlocked work.
