In most homes, one person quietly carries the chores. The "nameless" jobs nobody talks about: refilling the soap, taking out the trash, wiping the counter, restocking the fridge. They only get noticed when they don't get done. ChoreNote makes that invisible work visible, so your household can finally share the load. Add the chores, assign who does what, and see everyone's tasks for the day at a glance. Each person gets their own color, so you both know what's been handled and what's still waiting. No more "when are you going to do it?" and no more keeping the whole list in your head. The payoff is simple: checking off a chore gives you a small, real sense of accomplishment. That quiet satisfaction is what keeps the habit going, for both of you. ■ See who, what, and when Every chore is color-coded by person. One look tells you what's done, what's left, and whose turn it is today. ■ Chores that repeat themselves Set a chore to recur daily, weekly (say Tuesday and Friday), or monthly, and ChoreNote brings it back automatically. Set it once, stop re-entering it forever. ■ Carryover, without the guilt Didn't get to something today? It rolls over to the next day instead of vanishing. Do it when you can. Nothing slips through the cracks, and nobody feels nagged. ■ Watch your progress add up An achievement-rate graph shows how much your household is actually getting through, so the effort that usually goes unseen finally shows on screen. ■ One shared shopping list Keep groceries and household supplies in one place both of you can edit. Whoever's near the store picks it up, and you stop buying two of the same thing. ■ Say thank you in one tap Send a quick thank-you to anyone in your group. A small bit of gratitude goes a long way toward keeping things fair and friendly at home. WHO IT'S FOR - Couples who want to split the housework evenly - Families coordinating chores across the household - Roommates and flatmates sharing a place - Dual-income homes where time is tight - Anyone tired of carrying the load alone If chores are a recurring source of friction or silent resentment, ChoreNote turns "I always end up doing everything" into a clear, shared plan everyone can see. PREMIUM ChoreNote Premium adds: - Monthly/Yearly/Every ◯ days repeat tasks - Photo Attachments - Unlimited shopping tags + history search - App Color Change - No Ads Start with a 1-month free trial. And the best part: when one member of your group subscribes, Premium is unlocked for everyone in that group. One subscription covers the whole household. ChoreNote Premium is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account settings. Share the chores. Share the load. Stop carrying it alone.
