Tired of chasing everyone to finish the chores? Chores Tracker with Points makes each check-in earn Points or a Reward, and new Challenges unlock Badges your family can see. A simple family chore chart for daily routines and the Rewards you choose, so motivation comes from progress instead of reminders. "Check-ins earn Points or a Reward we can redeem right away. I set each Reward, the Points it takes, and who in the family can see it." - Dana P. Download Chores Tracker with Points and begin tonight. WHY CHOOSE "Chores Tracker with Points"? 1. POINTS ON EVERY CHECK-IN Each Habit check-in can earn Points or a Reward the moment it is finished. You choose the payoff, and family members can redeem a Reward you created. The reminder becomes a result they can see. 2. CHALLENGES THAT UNLOCK BADGES A Challenge can follow Habits, Behavior, shared projects, or Pomodoro sessions. Finish the run and a Badge shows the streak or the total. Pride sits on the profile, not in another lecture. 3. REWARDS YOUR FAMILY SETS Create each Reward, set the Points it takes, and decide who can see it. Add a note so the rule is clear before anyone asks. You can also limit how often a Reward is redeemed. 4. RULES THAT STAY FAIR Behavior can add or remove Points on the spot, with the reason written in plain words. Helpful acts and broken house rules use the same standard. The score does not depend on who is tired. KEY FEATURES 1. CUSTOM CHALLENGES AND BADGES Link a Challenge to Habits, Behavior, projects, or Pomodoro sessions, using a streak, a total, a repeating cycle, or a set date range. Finishing unlocks a Badge the family can see. 2. HABIT CHECK-INS Give each Habit Points or a Reward, including negative Points for a habit you want to stop. Choose whether everyone must check in or one person is enough, and add extra Points for early, on-time, late, or missed check-ins. 3. REWARD REDEMPTION Create Rewards with their own Points thresholds, notes, and who can see them. You can also cap how often each person may redeem a Reward. 4. PROJECTS AND TASKS Work on a Project with your family, assign each Task, and set a deadline. Every Task can carry Points or a Reward, so the split of work stays visible. 5. POMODORO SESSIONS Set a Pomodoro or a timer for a family member and attach a Reward or Points to the time they keep. You can also add that timer to a Habit as the goal. 6. BEHAVIOR POINTS Add or remove Points the moment a Behavior happens, with the rule written in plain language. Help and broken house rules use the same clear standard. 7. SHARED DEVICE CHECK-IN Several family members can check in on one shared device. Switch profiles and record the check-in without passing phones around. 8. SEPARATE DEVICES AND PINS Parents and children can each use their own device. A PIN keeps one profile from opening another. 9. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See today's progress, Challenge status, and family activity without opening the app. 10. FAMILY MEMBERS Invite parents with a code and keep a profile for each child. More than one parent can manage the family together. 11. READY-MADE TEMPLATES Start from more than 300 Habits, Tasks, Rewards, and Behavior rules, ready the day you begin. PRO FEATURES - Add unlimited family members - Create unlimited habits - Create unlimited projects and tasks - Create unlimited pomodoro types - Set up unlimited rewards - Set up unlimited "should do"s and "don't"s - Set up unlimited challenges You do not have to nag alone. Download Chores Tracker with Points and close the day as a family.
