How it works

Shared list. Private choices. One clear split.

  1. Start a shared list

    Write your own, pick a ready-made starting point, or review suggestions from photos.

  2. Make your choices

    Each person works through the same cards independently, in their own time.

  3. Review the split

    Move anything that needs moving, then agree the final split together.

You stay in charge

A useful split, shaped by the people involved.

Everyone chooses independently first. Then you review the split and change anything that needs changing.

  • Everyone gets an independent say

    People work through the same list in their own time before the group reviews the split.

  • The split is yours to change

    Move a task, share a responsibility or update the list whenever real life changes.

  • Fair process, human judgement

    Fairly Sorted helps organise choices; it does not impose one definition of fairness or replace legal, financial or professional advice.

Questions, answered plainly

Before you start.

Does everyone need to pay?
No. Only the person starting the shared list may pay for optional photo tools. Everyone invited to take part joins free.
Can I just use a list?
Yes. Write your own list or choose a ready-made one for free. Photos are an optional shortcut when there is a room full of things to capture.
Does Fairly Sorted decide what is fair?
No. Grounded in academic fair-division research, Fairly Sorted uses two methods depending on the case. Direct agreement means that if only one person wants something, it goes to them. Double round-robin handles things that several people want, or nobody does, using everyone’s preferences and what each person already has to suggest a balanced split. You can review and change every suggestion before agreeing.

Get it out of your head

Start a shared list and get on with the rest of your day.

Pick a ready-made list or write your own. Invite everyone else when you are ready.
