An iOS productivity application that distributes household chores fairly among cohabiting partners or roommates. Rather than assessing objective task difficulty, it collects subjective aversion scores from each user, then applies a sealed-input mechanism and multi-objective optimization algorithm to generate equitable task assignments.

ChoreDivider is an iOS app that appeared on Product Hunt, designed to assign chores based on each person's aversion to them rather than their difficulty.
The question ChoreDivider asks is 'how draining is this task for you' rather than how difficult the chore itself is.
In ChoreDivider, each person's ratings remain private and are sealed until everyone has finished rating.
The sealed-rating mechanism prevents mutual influence and strategic adjustment, allowing ratings to reflect genuine feelings.

ChoreDivider explains why each chore was assigned to a particular person, providing a transparent explanation of the allocation.
