Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Mental Loadless and family mental load management

How to reduce family mental load?

Family mental load is reduced by making the invisible visible: listing all tasks, sharing them fairly, and automating tracking. Mental Loadless centralizes shopping, calendar, homework, and household chores in a single app. The AI assistant Coco anticipates needs and the Fair Play Checklist tool (Eve Rodsky method) enables neutral data-based dialogue.

What app to share household tasks as a couple or family?

Mental Loadless is the app specifically designed to fairly share household tasks in a family. It lets you assign each task to a member, display who does what in real time, and measure each person's mental load via the Balance Score. Free on iOS and Android.

How does the AI assistant Coco work?

Coco is an AI assistant that understands natural language. Just say "add milk to shopping" or "the kids have swimming Friday" and Coco executes the action automatically. It can respond by voice (Azure Neural TTS), memorize your family's allergies and preferences, read you a weekly summary, and help anticipate needs. The free plan includes 5 Coco credits per month.

Is Mental Loadless free?

Yes, Mental Loadless offers a complete free plan with: shared shopping list, family calendar, homework tracking, household chores, secure private space, kids mode, gamification, and co-parenting. The Premium plan (from €9.99/month) unlocks advanced AI, document scanning, detailed Balance Score, and CocoTutor. 12 premium features are free to try, no credit card needed.

How to motivate children to do household chores?

Mental Loadless includes a gamification system: children earn stars by completing tasks, unlock badges (🚀 Rocket, 🏆 Champion, 👑 Legend...) and accumulate stars to claim rewards defined by parents. Validation is done by before/after photo with AI verification (GPT-4o Vision).

What app for co-parenting and shared custody?

Mental Loadless offers a co-parenting mode that links two separated families around a shared child. Both parents can see the child's homework, activities, and medical information, without accessing the other family's private data. Perfect for shared custody to avoid missed important information.

How to avoid food waste with an app?

Mental Loadless includes an inventory manager (fridge, freezer, pantry) with automatic anti-waste alerts when a product approaches its expiration date. The AI then suggests recipes using those ingredients. The fridge scan feature (photo → inventory) and receipt scan complete the anti-waste toolkit.

What is the Fair Play method for distributing family tasks?

The Fair Play method, created by Eve Rodsky, identifies household tasks and encourages distributing them fairly between partners. Mental Loadless integrates a version with 29 reference tasks. By completing it together, couples visualize who does what as a percentage — a neutral data-based dialogue tool to rebalance without blame.

Does Mental Loadless work offline?

Yes, Mental Loadless works in offline mode. The app caches up to 200 items locally. All actions are saved in a queue and automatically synced when the connection returns. A visual indicator informs you when you're offline.

How can AI help children with their homework?

CocoTutor offers 3 modes: "help child" mode guides the child with examples without giving the answer directly, "guide parent" mode helps the parent explain the concept, and "solution" mode verifies an answer or unblocks as a last resort. CocoTutor adapts to the child's grade level.

Ready to lighten your mental load?
