Who cleaned the bathroom last? What needs to be done today? Who is next? PikaPika helps families, couples, and roommates run household cleaning without constant reminders or arguments. PikaPika is a shared chore tracker and cleaning schedule app. Add recurring tasks, assign people, and let the app sort what should happen next. Everyone sees the same plan, the same history, and the same progress in real time. WHY PEOPLE USE PIKAPIKA Housework usually breaks down for predictable reasons: - tasks are in someone's head, not in a shared system - nobody remembers when a job was last done - responsibility is unclear, so work is uneven - reminders are either too noisy or missing PikaPika fixes this with a practical workflow that works in real life, including busy weeks, travel, and changing schedules. KEY FEATURES Auto scheduling Create tasks, set frequency, and PikaPika prioritizes by urgency. The most overdue chores rise to the top, so you always know what matters now. Shared household board Invite family members or roommates with a code or QR. Updates sync live, so everyone sees the same status. Task assignment Assign each chore to one person or rotate across members. Clear ownership reduces "I thought someone else would do it." Cleaning history Every completion is logged with date and person. Check exactly when the kitchen hood, shower drain, or floor cleaning was last done. Calendar view See upcoming tasks and completed work by day. This makes weekly planning and routine checks easier. Monthly reports Review totals by person and by task. Spot imbalance early and rebalance chores with facts instead of frustration. Custom reminders Each person can set reminder timing that matches their day. Fewer missed chores, fewer unnecessary notifications. Praise messages When a task is completed, the app can show encouraging messages. That small positive feedback helps routines stick. Skip and reschedule Too busy today? Skip once and move on. Need to change the next date? Reschedule in seconds without breaking your system. Templates Start fast with ready-made chore templates, then tailor them to your home. Task notes Attach instructions like preferred cleaner, steps, or safety tips so anyone can do the task correctly. Categories and archive Organize chores by room or type. Archive seasonal tasks without deleting history. Custom sorting and themes Arrange your list the way your household thinks. Choose light or dark theme for comfortable daily use. Advanced recurrence (Pro) Set detailed rules like "every other week" or "first Monday of the month" for tasks that do not fit simple intervals. Guest users Track chores for family members who do not use the app directly, including kids or older relatives. WHEN PIKAPIKA IS MOST HELPFUL - Roommates who want a fair cleaning system, not negotiations every week - Couples who want visible, balanced household effort - Families managing daily chores plus deep-cleaning tasks - People who prefer a clear routine over mental load and memory GET STARTED IN A FEW MINUTES 1. Add tasks from templates or create your own. 2. Set frequency and assign people. 3. Use the prioritized list each day. 4. Mark tasks done and review calendar/report trends weekly. RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT With consistent use, you may notice: - fewer repeated conversations about who does what - better follow-through on recurring chores - less uneven workload across members - cleaner spaces with less stress PikaPika is designed for consistency, not perfection. Even if you miss a day, the system keeps moving and helps you restart quickly.
