chore scale / week 38 · free workflow
Make the Weekly Chore Load Visible by Person — Free
Log what each person actually did this week with minutes and difficulty, and the scale ranks the loads, so the imbalance is a number rather than a recurring argument.
What this replaces
Chore charts split tasks into rows and call it fair. This weighs minutes, difficulty, and whether the person chose the job, so the load difference between two people is a score you can act on rather than a feeling that resurfaces every Sunday.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One person per line with weekly minutes, a difficulty score, and a choice score out of ten.
Let the scale weigh them
Each gets a score with the three numbers behind it, lightest first.
Move from the heaviest card
The spread tells you how much needs to move to balance it.
Rerun next week
A spread that does not close means the rotation is not actually rotating.

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Minutes estimated rather than logged
Log one real week; estimates defend whoever is already doing least.
Invisible labour not counted
Planning and remembering are real; give them minutes or the scale lies.
Children's tasks scored like adults'
Difficulty is relative; score it against the person, not a standard.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page organizes what you enter into rows. It does not give legal advice, does not calculate what a court would order, and does not replace a mediator or attorney.
Confirm any split, format, or figure with your current agreement, the court's form set, or a qualified adviser before you send or file it.
Go deeper — Chore Scale
The free board above is the whole loop. The paid tier keeps the arranged output so you do not rebuild it.
