Roler is a TODO list app that incorporates role-playing elements. Key features: ● Role management 1. Create different roles and assign tasks to them, rather than directly to users. 2. Roles rotate based on a set schedule. For example, you can have a role for weekdays and another for weekends, and tasks will only appear in your 'Today' tab when you are responsible for that role. 3. Roles rotate among members. We created a role named 'Cleaner' so that we can take turns doing chores like laundry and dishes. ● Self rewarding. 1. Earn virtual credits by completing tasks and contribute a portion to the group account. 2. Spend credits from your personal or group account to redeem predefined rewards, called 'Wishitems'. Group up with your family, partner, friends, or roommates and play roles now!
