What Balance tracks

All four types of household load,
in one place

Up to 30 questions across 4 categories, fully personalizable. Most couples only talk about the visible tasks — Balance captures everything, including the work no one sees.

🔧

Operational

Tangible and measurable

Cooking, cleaning, laundry, school runs, groceries. The visible work that keeps the household running — tracked, weighted, and broken down by partner.

🧠

Cognitive

Invisible background work

Planning, scheduling, remembering appointments, managing budgets. The mental work that never shows up on a shared calendar but never stops running.

💛

Emotional

Diffuse but persistent

Managing moods, supporting your partner, carrying the family's emotional wellbeing. The load that rarely gets acknowledged — and almost never gets split.

📅

Coordination

Fragmented and underestimated

Social calendars, family admin, gift buying, staying in touch with both families. Relentless, fragmented, and nearly always invisible.

5 life domains

Every corner of your life, covered

Balance doesn't just count tasks — it maps them to the five domains where household load actually accumulates. Nothing slips through.

  • 🏠

    Home & Logistics

    Cooking, cleaning, shopping and maintenance

  • 👁️

    Invisible Work & Planning

    Planning, anticipation and memory

  • 💳

    Bills, budget and financial decisions

  • 👨‍👩‍👧

    Children & Pets

  • 💞

    Rituals & Relationship

    Wellbeing, connection and repair

Load distribution

Your relationship,
measured clearly

Balance shows exactly what percentage of the mental load each partner carries — across all four categories, broken down and compared side by side.

Well balanced

You — 72% Partner — 28%

Load is distributed evenly and recognised by both partners. The household is running smoothly.

Room to improve

You — 61% Partner — 39%

One partner is carrying noticeably more. A few targeted changes could close the gap quickly.

Significant imbalance

You — 78% Partner — 22%

A large share of the work falls on one person. It's time for an open, data-driven conversation.
