## What is ChoreLocks?

ChoreLocks turns "did you do your chores?" into a game your kids actually want to win.

Parents build each kid's chore list. Kids prove their work with a photo, and our AI checks it against YOUR standard. Until the list is done, their apps stay locked — no nagging required. When it's done, they earn points they can spend on rewards you approve.

HOW IT WORKS
• Create chores for each kid — one-time, daily, or weekly
• Set when each chore is due: before school, after school, or anytime
• Kids snap a photo to prove the job is done
• AI verifies honest work (parents can always override)
• Apps on the kid's iPhone or iPad stay locked until the list is cleared
• Points land automatically — no arguments, no scorekeeping

MAKE IT A GAME
• Levels from Rookie to Legend, with streak multipliers up to 2x
• A daily Mystery Chore secretly worth double
• Spin-the-wheel bonus when everything's done
• Monthly badge board with bonus points for every badge
• Wins & Misses: reward the good stuff beyond chores — and note the misses

BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES
• Every kid gets their own login with their own list
• Pick the time locks start, so school mornings and alarms stay free
• Family chat with reactions and read receipts
• Add each kid's school calendar — days off relax the locks automatically
• Rewards store: screen time, treats, real gift cards — you decide what's on the shelf and what it costs
• Weekend mode and adjustable deadlines

Parents manage everything from their own iPhone. Kids need an iPhone or iPad with Screen Time permissions.

Free to start with the full chore system. Plus and Pro add more kids, more AI checks, wish lists, calendar, and the Family Wallet.

ChoreLocks: they do the work, they get the reward. Everyone wins.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.6 — 2026-09-26

Lock fixes: a parent's free pass now unlocks your kid's device right away, even when ChoreLocks is closed. Last night's lock no longer carries over into the morning.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-09-23

Small improvements and bug fixes to keep chores, locks and rewards running smoothly.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-09-11

Getting your family in is now a two-minute job.

• New welcome screen: "Set up my family" or "I have an invite." That's it.
• Smart invites: text your kid a link and ChoreLocks opens with their name already on it. No codes to type, no picking who you are.
• Second parent? Same link, one name field, done — and their phone shows the family's real plan instead of asking them to subscribe again.
• Set up in 3 screens: your name, your kids, their phones. The welcome tour and alerts don't pile up on top of each other anymore.
• Fairer photo checks: homework, spelling lists and reading logs count as homework. Little kids get credit for trying. Your first three rejected photos never cost points.
• New look for the ChoreLocks mascot — the lock is finally open.
• Settings cleanup and lots of small fixes.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-09-08

• AI photo checking now works for every family — no setup needed
• Real App Blocking: scan the parent's invite QR instead of typing a code
• Simpler, cleaner Settings
• Invite codes work once, as promised
• Your plan now shows correctly in Settings

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-06

• Fixed: your subscription now covers every phone in the family — the phone lock sets up properly on kids' devices
• Fixed: chores finished yesterday no longer count as "done" today
• Faster, fairer photo checking
