Chorsee is a chores and allowance tracker designed for families. Our goal is to provide a clean and simple app that does everything you need to manage your household. PROFILES You will create a profile for each family member to whom you wish to assign chores. CHORES You will create color-coded chores and give each a custom icon. You can schedule tasks daily, weekly, monthly, on specific days, or alternating schedules, tailored to your needs. Chores can be assigned to one or more profiles, can be set to rotate between family members, or be up for grabs to whoever gets to them first. You can also add notes, reminders, categories, and subtasks to the chores. Photo proof can be required for specific chores, so you can see if the job was done up to your standards. BALANCES (optional) You will choose between Allowance, Points, or No Rewards. Each chore can be configured to pay a certain amount. As chores are completed the values are automatically added to that person's balance. Parents can also make manual adjustments for when they give their kids cash or need to deduct points for other reasons. We also support automatic balance adjustments in case you want to give a weekly or monthly allowance. REWARDS You can configure specific rewards within the app. You set a price and then your kids can track their progress as they work toward the goal. This feature helps kids stay motivated and to learn delayed gratification and planning. INSTANT SYNCING BETWEEN DEVICES You can add multiple devices to your household. Each device can be set to Admin mode for parents, or child mode. Kid's devices will only have access to their chore list and won’t be able to edit chores or balances. WIDGET We love widgets, and we’ve made a bunch of them! You can mark off chores right from your home screen or lock screen, and as a parent, you can keep tabs on the entire family without needing to open the app. ACCESSIBILITY We support dynamic type and dark mode. CLEAN AND SIMPLE DESIGN In keeping with our core value of clean and simple, there are a couple of things we’ve chosen to avoid. NO GAMIFICATION Doing chores and earning points or allowance isn’t always the most fun thing in the world. We believe that adding coins, badges, or games to our app is a false motivator that doesn’t last. Kids are very smart and will quickly realize this. Hard work and discipline can carry their own sense of reward and we want to help you maximize this. NO CREDIT CARDS Linking to a real world credit-card or bank account is simply beyond the scope of what we can accomplish as a small team. Instead, we’ve chosen to focus all our attention on making our app completely self-contained. Our built-in allowance/points tracking system is designed to meet the needs of most families while avoiding the complexity and risk that come with online money accounts. You can easily deduct any amount from the virtual balance in Chorsee when you make deposits into your kid's other accounts.

Some day, someone who loves you will need to find everything you kept in your head — the will, the policy that pays the mortgage, who to call first, your final wishes. ICINA is where you put it all, safely, in advance, as an act of care. FOR THE ONE WHO LOVES Build your vault the way you'd leave notes on the fridge. Guided entries walk you through legal documents, money and banking, insurance, medical directives, IDs, property, digital accounts, the people to call, and your final wishes. Write a personal letter to the person who will open it — the app treats that letter as the most important thing in the vault, because it is. Everything you write is auto-saved as an encrypted draft, so nothing is lost mid-thought. When you're ready, seal the vault: ICINA shows you exactly what changed since you last sealed it, then exports a single encrypted file — and a printable handoff packet with their name on it. FOR THE ONE WHO IS LOVED They arrive with a passphrase on a piece of paper, on one of the hardest days of their life. ICINA knows the difference. When they open the vault, your letter comes first — before any list, before any document. Then a calm summary of what you left them, what to do now, and a gentle "start here" order for the first days: who to call, where the important papers are. No paywalls. No upsells. No clutter. Just what you prepared, the way you meant it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Encrypted on your device with strong, modern cryptography. • No cloud. No sync. No accounts. No tracking. Your data never leaves your phone unless you export it. • Export a single encrypted .icina file and share the passphrase only with the person you trust — on paper, in person, however you choose. PRO ICINA Pro unlocks document scanning with intelligent autofill — processed entirely on your device by Apple's on-device models, never sent anywhere — plus unlimited items, file attachments, expiry reminders, and the printable handoff packet. Annual or one-time lifetime purchase. ICINA. For the one who loves, and the one who is loved.
