Chores

Chores is a free iPhone and iPad app for couples, families, and roommates to manage recurring household tasks together. It supports shared scheduling, contribution tracking, reminders, and optional rewards.

Chores

Overview

Chores is a household chore management app for iPhone and iPad that helps couples, families, and roommates share recurring tasks in one place. It is built around the idea that household work should be visible, scheduled, and tracked together rather than handled through scattered to-do lists or messages.

The app supports flexible recurrence, household sharing, contribution tracking, and optional rewards. Households can set chores to repeat on custom intervals, see progress in charts, and use reminders and rewards to keep tasks moving without relying on one person to remember everything.

Features

Flexible recurring schedules

Set chores to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, every few days, or at another custom interval. The app automatically keeps the schedule current.

Contribution tracking

View completed chores in charts that show who did what. This helps households keep a clearer record of shared work over time.

Rewards for chore goals

Attach rewards to chores and unlock them after a chosen number of completions. Rewards can apply to one person or the entire household.

Household sharing

Invite family members or roommates to the same household so chores can be viewed, completed, and tracked together in real time.

Day and week overview

See tasks by day or by week to understand what is due now and what is coming next.

Reminders and real-time updates

Send reminders and sync updates as chores are completed so everyone stays aligned without manual follow-up.

Use cases

  • Shared household coordination

    Households can assign recurring chores, see what is due, and check completion in one shared view. This is useful when more than one person needs to stay aligned on routine tasks.

  • Couples tracking fairness

    Couples can use contribution tracking to replace memory-based arguments with a record of who completed what and when. The app is meant to make day-to-day work more visible.

  • Family chore routines

    Families can assign age-appropriate chores, use reminders, and attach rewards that motivate kids to participate. The app also supports multiple people in the same household.

  • Roommate chore rotation

    Roommates can split cleaning duties, rotate recurring tasks, and use reminders or weekly summaries to reduce confusion about who is responsible next.
