HOUSEHOLD CHORES, FINALLY FAIR. Chorphin is the household app built around one simple idea: everyone should carry their fair share — including the invisible work nobody ever gets credit for. Whether you live with a partner, roommates, or a family, Chorphin makes it easy to assign and track chores, see who's really pulling their weight, and have an honest conversation about how the load is split. No more passive-aggression. No more "I feel like I do everything." FAIRNESS DASHBOARD See exactly who's contributing. Effort-weighted percentages show each member's share by time spent — not just task count. A 60-minute chore counts twice as much as a 30-minute one. Filter by week, month, or all time. No more guessing. No more resentment. MENTAL LOAD TRACKING Physical chores are only half the story. Chorphin tracks five mental load categories — Planning, Appointments, Finances, Emotional, and Admin — so the invisible labor finally gets counted. Scheduling dentist appointments, renewing insurance, handling the mental weight of running a home: it all shows up on the dashboard. ADHD SUPPORT Chorphin is built for how ADHD brains actually work. Choose from Standard, Gentle, or Urgent reminder modes. Enable Streak Forgiveness so one hard week doesn't erase your progress. Set flexible deadlines for tasks that don't need a hard due date. This isn't a bolt-on — it's designed in from the start. MEAL PLANNING Plan the whole week across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots. Save your household's recipes with ingredients. Tap once to push the whole week's recipe ingredients straight to your shared shopping list. SHARED SHOPPING LIST One real-time list for the whole household. Add items by category, check things off as you go, clear what's been purchased. BILL SPLITTING Add a shared bill, split it equally across whoever's involved, and track who's paid. See at a glance what you owe and what you're owed. Settle up when everyone's covered. iOS CALENDAR SYNC Export upcoming chores and household events to a dedicated Chorphin calendar on your device. See what's due from your lock screen without opening the app. OPTIONAL GAMIFICATION Points, streaks, and a household leaderboard — all togglable per group. Keep it businesslike or make it competitive. The choice is yours. BUILT FOR REAL HOUSEHOLDS • Join a household with a simple invite code • Invite members by email or SMS • Admin and member roles with reassignment approval flow • Multi-group support — one app for home and a shared flat • Full account deletion anytime, right from Settings Chorphin is free to download. No ads. No data selling. No tracking.
