What's New in Chore App

1.2.1

August 7, 2026

A rebuilt calendar for parents. Day view now leads, with a scrollable day strip and faster month navigation, so you can see who owes what on any given day without digging for it. Moving between per-member calendars is smoother, and crediting a missed chore occurrence takes fewer taps. Plus a handful of small fixes and performance improvements. Built by a parent of three. If something isn't working the way you'd expect, get in touch through xtrahands.app. I read all of it.

Great app

Very well made, does exactly what it needs to. Chore management is much better now!

Great chore app!

This thing has so many features! I used during beta and have continued to use it and it’s wonderful. There are tons of options for creating and assign chores. The ledger entries are great for helping keep up with who owes what and what has been paid. I have 2 adult children that pay “rent” and we can deduct from the rent the chores they do automatically. We also have a teenager who gets paid an allowance and the app keeps you with what we owe him as well. There are so many different ways to customize this app on the website and then manage on the phone. Great app!
