## What is Room Robin?

Chores, passed around the house. No nagging. No scorekeeping. No blame.

Room Robin splits household chores fairly, automatically. Each chore rotates through your roommates round-robin style, so no one gets stuck on trash duty forever.

HOW IT WORKS
- Create your nest and invite roommates with a code
- Default chores included; add custom ones on any schedule: daily, weekly, monthly, every N days, or when-needed
- When a chore is done, snap before & after photos
- Your roommates vote. Majority approval makes it count
- Bumps: see a full trash can? Bump it to whoever's turn it is, with a photo

THE POINT
Chores never feel fair, and someone always ends up being the nag. Room Robin makes delegation automatic and blameless — the app decides whose turn it is, and the flock verifies the work.

Features:
- Round-robin chore rotation
- Flexible schedules including as-needed cadence
- Photo proof with roommate approval voting
- Bump nudges with notes and photos
- Push notifications for assignments, votes, and bumps

## Key features

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-20

New in 1.3:

• Activity tab — a household feed of everything happening in your nest. Tap any event to see the photos, notes, and who voted which way.
• Fresh tab layout — The Nest, Activity, Flock Vote, and My Roost. Profile & settings now live behind the gear on My Roost.
• Home reminders — opt in to get a nudge about open chores when you arrive home; nest builders can pin the nest's address on a map.
• No more stalled reviews — chores auto-approve after 24 hours of voter silence, with countdown reminders before that.
• Credits are earned and spent per chore, with wild credits earned from one-off jobs.
• One-off jobs — the proposer's yes counts toward the vote, requests can carry a photo, and open jobs are tappable for bidding.
• Faster push notifications, plus a fix for errors when proposing chores.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-18

The flock now holds you to it:

• Chores stay with you until they're done — no more quietly moving to the next person. Pending chores nag: a reminder the evening before, twice on the due day, then 3x daily until you submit
• 3 days overdue? The flock gets notified and told to bump you
• Reviews nag too — if a chore's stuck waiting on your vote, you'll hear about it every few hours
• Past chores in My Roost now open their before/after photos and vote results
• Cover submissions show up in the coverer's roost

Plus everything from 1.1: one-off requests with credit bidding, chore proposals, covers & credits, standing trades, draft before-photos

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-11

Bug fixes: no more stray "cancelled" alert when switching tabs.

Everything from 1.1:
• One-off requests: post an ad-hoc job and the flock votes it in, then everyone bids the credits they'd take to do it — lowest bid wins
• Chore proposals: anyone can propose a new chore and the flock votes it into the rotation
• Covers & credits: do a flockmate's chore with photo proof to earn a credit, then spend a credit to pass your own turn
• Standing trades: propose a standing swap with any flockmate
• Before photos now save as drafts — snap the before, finish the chore later
• Tap a submitted chore in My Roost to see your photos and live vote progress

### 1.1 — 2026-08-10

Big flock update!

• One-off requests: post an ad-hoc job and the flock votes it in, then everyone bids the credits they'd take to do it — lowest bid wins the work (and the credits)
• Chore proposals: once your nest is active, anyone can propose a new chore and the flock votes it into the rotation
• Covers & credits: do a flockmate's chore with photo proof to earn a credit, then spend a credit to pass your own turn
• Standing trades: "I'll never do dishes but I'll always take out the trash" — propose a standing swap with any flockmate; either side can end it anytime
• Before photos now save as drafts — snap the before, close the sheet, and come back when the chore's done
• Tap a submitted chore in My Roost to see your photos and live vote progress
• More reliable push notifications, and the app refreshes instantly when you open one
• Sign-out now stops push notifications to that device, plus a dark-mode readability fix
