Beurt

Never work out whose turn it is again.

Everyone fills in once when they’re home and how long each chore takes them. From then on the schedule sorts the week out: fairly, and around everyone’s plans. Skipped one? It simply comes back later.

The idea

The hard part of chores isn’t the cleaning

It’s the figuring out. What needs doing this week, who’s home when, and is it still fair? That invisible work always lands on the same person. So the app takes it off their plate.

Curious how it decides? One real week, written out →

1

Say when you’re around

Tick when you’re usually free and how long each chore takes you. An hour for the bathroom? Fine. Your housemate says 25 minutes? Also fine.

2

The puzzling is done for you

The week gets split as fairly as it can be, around exams, shifts and weekends away. And the chores nobody likes go round, so they don’t stick to one person.

3

Nobody keeps score

Skipped something? It quietly comes back in your later weeks. Things stay fair without anyone having to bring it up at dinner.

What’s inside

Everything your house argues about, in one place

Fair in your own minutes

Each chore counts for the time it takes you, not for some house average. Slow at the bathroom? That’s not held against you.

It gets that some weeks are different

Link your calendar, or just mark one week as different. Exams, a new shift pattern, a week at your parents’: the schedule plans around it and evens out after.

House chat

One chat for “who finished the milk”, right next to the schedule it’s usually about. With push notifications, if you want them.

Cost splitting

Put in the bin bags or the beers, tick who’s in, and see who owes who. Settling up takes as few payments as possible.

A board for one-off jobs

The broken hallway lamp goes on a shared board with a deadline. Whoever fixes it gets lighter weeks after, for real.

Reminders that stay polite

A morning nudge on your day, an evening one only if something is still open. Did your stuff? You hear nothing.

Fair questions

For the housemate who isn’t convinced yet

“My housemates will never fill anything in.”

It’s five minutes, once. Tick when you’re home, put a number on each chore. After that there’s nothing to keep up. That was the whole point.

“What if someone lies about their minutes?”

Everyone’s numbers are right there on the Balance tab. Call the dishes an hour while the rest said fifteen minutes? That’s not a trick that works. That’s a chat at dinner.

“Isn’t this just keeping tabs on each other?”

No streaks, no scoreboard, no notifications about anyone else’s chores. “Not done” doesn’t start a fight. The minutes just move to a later week.

“We already have a group chat.”

So does every house that argues about cleaning. That’s exactly where it goes wrong: nobody remembers who did what three weeks ago. The schedule does. That’s the bit a group chat can’t do.

A chore schedule that sticks

Making the rota is the easy part. Keeping it alive past week three is what nobody plans for, so that’s what most of this page is about.
