No shared scoreboard
The core experience never asks you to log a chore. In the open there is only the current deal — and if you choose to track what you do, that log is private, shared only on your terms.
A fair deal for your household
Fair isn’t fifty‑fifty.
Each of you privately rates how much you’d dread owning each chore. Truce finds the split that keeps the heaviest personal burden as low as possible — and tells you when neither of you would rather swap.
Works on iPhone, Android, and any browser.
Draft night
Tap how you’d feel owning each of these. Kari can’t see your answers.
Dishes, counters, and leaving the kitchen ready for the next meal.
Washing, drying, folding, and putting away — noticing when it piles up.
Keeping the shopping list, noticing what’s running low, and restocking.
Keeping bathrooms clean and stocked.

A working miniature of Truce — your taps really change the split.
-
50/50 ignores feelings
An even count of chores still leaves one of you stuck with the ones you hate most.
-
Scoreboards sour homes
Apps that log every dish turn a household into an audit. Nobody wins an audit.
-
The invisible load is real
Someone plans, remembers, and books — work that never shows up in a tally.
One draft night. Three steps.
-
Pick your cards
Choose the responsibilities that exist in your home — meal planning, laundry, pets. Whole jobs with an owner, not micro‑tasks.
-
Rate them privately
Everyone spends the same five faces on the same cards. Your answers stay yours — your partner never sees them.
-
Approve the deal
Truce proposes a split and you both approve it — or trade cards until you do. The deal stands until life changes and you draft again.
Built on a different idea of fair
Private by design
Ratings are sealed. The split is public; the feelings that shaped it are not. Honesty gets easier when nobody is watching.
Fair, and honest about it
Truce aims for a split neither of you would trade — mathematicians call it envy‑free — and tells you privately how many of the chores you’d rather avoid it kept off your plate. That count comes from the faces you picked, so nobody can inflate it by answering in extremes. When full balance is impossible, it says Near balance or Most even this round instead of pretending.
The daily stuff lives here too
The deal decides who owns what — lists carry what’s happening today. Add what you’re out of and it shows up on everyone’s phone instantly, handy in the store.
To‑dos can link to a chore card, so a one‑off job lands with whoever owns that responsibility in your deal. And the personal list is exactly that — only you can see it.
One list is rarely enough. Add named shopping lists for the odd errand, and packing lists you tick off together before a trip — packed stays packed until you delete the list.
On iPhone you don’t have to open Truce at all: ask Siri to add an item or tick one off, and it lands on everyone’s list the same way.
With Premium, follow an addition with a ping: “Kari added 3 items to shopping.”
When there are kids in the house
Pick a family household at setup and the deal works exactly as it does for two: the adults rate privately, the split lands, and the fairness numbers stay between the grown‑ups.
What’s added is a second pool. A child is a profile a parent sets up — a name and an avatar — and their chores are assigned by you, not drafted. Kids’ chores never enter the adults’ allocation or move anyone’s burden.
They can rotate between the children too, and the deal page names whose turn it is this time around.
One parent or two. On your own there is no draft night — the responsibilities you switch on are simply yours — and the kids’ side works exactly the same.
Choosing a family household is free — and so is turning the household you already have into one, the day the house changes. Child profiles and their chores are Premium — and if it lapses, nothing is lost: the deal you have keeps running, the profiles stay, and the kids’ chores return the next time you draft or set the plan.

Fair questions
Does my partner see my ratings?
Never. Ratings are private to each member — the household sees the resulting split, not the answers behind it.
What if we disagree with the split?
Nothing takes effect until everyone approves. Offer a trade, counter one, or reopen your ratings and draft again.
Do we have to log chores?
No. The core experience never requires chore logging. Premium offers optional private completion tracking — say you did it whenever you actually did it, with a note only you can read, retained for up to 90 days. Your partner sees nothing unless you deliberately share a limited insight.
Can my plans show up in my calendar?
Yes, with Premium. Truce publishes a private link your calendar app subscribes to, carrying your own upcoming plans and nothing else — never your partner’s, never anything you’ve completed. It only goes one way: Truce never reads your calendar and asks for no calendar access. Pause, replace, or delete the link at any time.
We have kids. Does that work?
Yes — choose a family household at setup. You make a profile for each child and assign their chores directly; those chores sit apart from the adults’ allocation and never change its fairness numbers. Children take no part in rating, approving, or trading. Child profiles and their chores are a Premium feature. A family can have one parent or two: on your own there is no draft night, but the kids’ side is identical.
I live alone. Is Truce any use?
Yes — everything except the part that needs someone to negotiate with. Choose Just me at setup and every responsibility you switch on becomes your plan: schedules, reminders, the calendar link, and the lists all work exactly as they do for a household of four. There is no draft night, because there is nobody to draft against. If someone moves in later, turn the household into a couple and draft from then on — your deck, your lists, and your plan stay where they are.
What does it run on?
iPhone, Android, and any modern browser. One account, one household, everywhere.
What does it cost?
The core is free for the whole household, forever. Premium — schedules, reminders, the calendar link, insights, unlimited custom cards, child profiles and their chores — is planned at 299 kr / $29.99 / €29.99 per year, one subscription for everyone.
