You don’t fight about dishes because of the dishes. You fight because no one remembers everything else you do.

You don’t fight about dishes because of the dishes.
You fight because no one remembers everything else you do.

One person took the trash out.
Another cleaned the bathroom.
Someone went and bought groceries after a long day.
But it all got forgotten.

That’s when roommates start keeping score in their heads.
Noticing only what goes undone, never what’s quietly handled.

The quiet effort app is free, and it’s already helping people log small efforts without turning it into a scoreboard.
I use it to remember what we all did — and then I say thanks in person.

It’s not about nagging. It’s not about making charts.
It’s about fairness, respect, and keeping the peace where you live.

Because when effort gets noticed, resentment doesn’t get the chance to grow.
