About us

Accord is the result of a vision to simplify everyday life and strengthen family cohesion. The idea started as a simple challenge from a parent: “Build an app so I don't have to nag”. Inspired by Sweden's history of innovation and the environment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, we decided to build on the legacy of creating solutions that make life easier.

Although our first application to KTH Innovation was rejected, we were driven by the conviction that we could tackle one of the biggest challenges of family life: housework and family peace. From early prototypes with handwritten notes to today's app, our journey is a testament to perseverance and innovation.

How Accord Works

Accord is an app that combines planning, gamification and collaboration in one simple platform:

  • Easy to use: You don’t have to be tech-savvy, the whole family can get started quickly.

  • Clear distribution: Sharing data is as easy as sending an SMS, but here nothing gets lost in a thread.

  • Motivating: Statistics, competitions and streaks make everyday tasks a shared challenge.

  • Visibility and conversation: Statistics show who is doing what, facilitating conversations about distribution.

  • Social interaction: The feed allows family members to share pictures of their achievements and cheer each other on.

What our users say

Accord has become part of everyday life for many families:

  • “Outsource the nagging": Parents don't nag, and children feel more engaged.

  • Building routines: Many people say that the app helps them to get a better structure in their daily lives.

  • Creating dialog: Instead of creating distance between family members, Accord has helped families talk more about who does what - but without guilt or anxiety.

While some critics believe that the app can be distancing, our users say the opposite: Accord helps families to show appreciation for each other's efforts and create a positive dialog in the household.

Gender equality in focus

We are proud to partner with equality experts Make Equal in making the invisible work visible. Our goal is not to force exact gender equality in every home, but to provide tools that make it easier to understand and improve the distribution of domestic work - in an easy and engaging way.

Our Vision

Accord is not just an app - it's a movement towards harmonious households where everyone contributes, is seen and appreciated. By combining simplicity, gamification and innovation, we want to make family life both more fun and more fair.
