Chore Pad helps families build healthy habits and celebrate the everyday wins. Kids see what's expected, earn stars for getting it done, and trade stars for rewards you set together. Get started in minutes with a starter set of common chores and rewards — or build your own from scratch. EVERYONE ON ONE SCREEN See every child on the Start Screen with their star totals and weekly progress at a glance. From two kids to an entire classroom, the layout adapts. STARS THAT MOTIVATE Kids earn stars as they complete chores, then redeem them for rewards you've created — anything from screen time to a family outing. Watch them save up for the big stuff. A CHORE CHART KIDS LOVE Delightful animations, satisfying sounds, and a charting metaphor that makes daily routines feel like a game — not homework. SECURE PARENT MODE A passcode-protected Parent Mode keeps configuration tucked safely away. Add passcode protection to individual Chore Chart features as needed. POWERFUL CUSTOMIZATION Build template chores and customize each individually per child, choose from included stock chore icons (or add your own photos), and set repeat schedules and star values to fit your family's rhythm. CHORE PAD PREMIUM The free experience covers everything a family needs to run their chores.
