ChoreStar is a household organiser for the jobs that need doing and the rewards they earn. You set the tasks, decide what each is worth, and approve work when it's marked finished — so the running total lives in the app instead of in your head. MANAGE THE HOUSEHOLD FROM ONE DASHBOARD - Assign tasks daily, weekly, monthly or one-off, to one person or everyone - Set point values, with optional reminder days - One review queue for everything waiting on you - Approve or decline in a tap; balances update instantly REWARDS YOU DEFINE - Build the reward list and price each one in points - Redemption requests come to you for approval, not spent automatically - Full history of every point earned and spent, filterable and exportable as a spreadsheet NO EXTRA ACCOUNTS TO MANAGE Household members join by scanning a code you generate. No additional email addresses, no passwords for you to reset. SHARE THE LOAD Invite a co-parent to manage the household with you. Both of you can assign, approve and adjust, and everyone stays in sync. ADS THAT STAY OUT OF THE WAY The free version shows one small banner on the dashboard. No pop-ups, no full-screen takeovers, nothing between screens, and no advertising on the household member's own view. Every ad is non-personalized and capped at a "G" content rating. CHORESTAR PREMIUM A one-time purchase, not a subscription. Removes advertising for everyone in the family and lifts the free limits on tasks, rewards and members. Bought once, applies to the whole household, nothing to renew or cancel. PRIVACY No behavioural profiling and nothing sold to advertisers. Delete your account and all of its data from inside the app at any time. Free version: 2 members, 8 tasks, 5 rewards. Terms: https://chorestar.cloudmigrationconsulting.net/terms/
