FairShare is one of those projects that looks straightforward until you actually start unpacking it. You’ve got parents on one side, kids on the other, and somehow the app has to work for both without feeling like two separate products glued together.
What I liked here is that the experience doesn’t try to force one messy interface on everyone. The parent side is clearly about control, structure, and keeping track of chores and screen time, while the child side stays super simple and focused. That separation makes a lot of sense to me — I’ve seen apps try to cram everything into one flow, and it usually just ends up confusing everybody.
The onboarding is probably one of the trickiest parts, because linking a parent and child device is exactly the kind of step where people get stuck and bail. Breaking that into smaller steps feels like the right move. For this type of product, setup can’t feel fragile.
I also think the color choice does a lot of quiet work here. It sits in a nice middle place — friendly enough for kids, but still calm and serious enough for parents. It’s the kind of thing you don’t always notice right away, but it changes the whole tone of the app.
Overall, this feels like the kind of case where UX choices really shape the product, not just the UI on top of it. The structure, the flow, and the tone all have to hold together, and that’s what makes it interesting. When a product has to work for two groups with different needs, where do you usually draw the line between what stays shared and what gets fully split? #UI #UX #UXDesign #UserExperience #ProductDesign #InterfaceDesign#UserResearch #DesignSystems #Wireframing #Prototyping #Onboarding #TwoSidedUX #ParentingApp #KidsUX #ScreenTime
