Tell ChoreMatrix how your household works. We’ll figure out the workload.
No vague checklists. No random task assignments. ChoreMatrix calculates workable, balanced allocations respecting real schedules and capacities.
How ChoreMatrix Calculates Your Plan
In less than 60 seconds, input constraints and let mathematics solve the allocation puzzle.
1. Define Your Household
Choose your household structure (Couples, Families, Roommates) and select your optimization mode: Proportional Capacity-Aware or Equal Workload balancing.
2. Set Member Capacities
Specify realistic weekly capacity in minutes for each member and mark hard unavailable days (travel, late shifts, school commitments).
3. Add Responsibilities
Enter tasks with duration, frequency, effort weighting (1 to 5), fixed schedule requirements, and strict member eligibility restrictions.
4. Deterministic Calculation
The optimizer runs a 6-stage algorithmic pass: enforcing hard constraints, balancing capacity ratios, and applying soft preference bonuses.
5. Review Weekly Schedule
Explore your plan in interactive weekly calendar and table layouts, with clear workload percentage bars and explainability tags for every chore.
6. Rebalance When Life Changes
When unexpected events happen, click Rebalance. The differential solver stabilizes settled tasks and moves only what is strictly necessary.
✕ Without ChoreMatrix: Invisible Imbalance
- Mental load falls disproportionately on one partner or roommate.
- Task checklists track what's done, but ignore effort disparity (e.g. 5 min trash vs 45 min bathroom scrubbing).
- Unavailable workdays are forgotten, leading to missed chores and friction.
- When someone gets sick, the entire schedule collapses into resentment.
✓ With ChoreMatrix: Transparent Fairness
- Effort-weighted minutes ensure grueling tasks carry appropriate balance weight.
- Capacity-aware distribution accounts for unequal work hours and child capabilities.
- Hard ineligibility prevents assigning chores to unqualified or unavailable members.
- Differential rebalancing recalculates the plan with minimal disruption.
Why Deterministic Math Beats AI Hallucination
ChoreMatrix uses a deterministic constraint solver running directly in your browser. Given the exact same household inputs, it produces the exact same optimal allocation in milliseconds. No unpredictable AI prompts, no data leaks, no guesswork.
