Burrow turns your home into rooms and chores you can see, so nothing quietly piles up. Start on your own. Add someone later if you want to. ORGANIZE BY ROOM Set up your actual home: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and beyond. Each room has a progress gauge, so one glance tells you what needs attention. Tap into any room to see its chores, its history, and what's already been done. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Make chores that repeat daily, weekly, or on a schedule you build yourself. Add one-time tasks with due dates. Keep on-demand chores parked until you're ready. Going away? Vacation Mode pauses everything and shifts your schedule when you're back. FALL BEHIND WITHOUT FALLING APART Skip a week and Burrow won't bury you in red badges. Overdue chores wait for you, no guilt trip. Pick up where you left off. SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS TYPOS AND PHRASES Type "overdue kitchen" and get the right results. Filter by room, assignment, due status, or chore type in one tap. QUICK ACTIONS Your dashboard surfaces the on-demand chores you complete most, so they're one tap away. SHARE IT WHEN YOU'RE READY Living with a partner or roommates? Send them a code and everything syncs in real time. Completion charts show who's done what, so you can see the balance instead of guessing at it. Burrow is built for adults sharing a space: no allowance tracking, no gold stars.

Want a printable chore chart for the fridge without fiddling with a spreadsheet? Chorely makes a bright, kid-friendly chart in a minute — pick a template, add your kids and their tasks, and print. Choose a style, type each child's name, edit the task list and pick the days. Chorely builds one landscape page per child, ready to print on regular Letter paper. • FIVE TEMPLATES — Chore Chart, Reward Chart, Star Chart, Sticker Chart and Potty Chart, each with its own color and its own empty mark to fill in: checkbox, heart, star, sticker circle or drop. • STARTER TASKS INCLUDED — every template comes with suggested tasks (for example “Make the bed”, “Brush teeth”, “Feed the pet”), all editable. Add up to 12 tasks. • ONE PAGE PER CHILD — add up to 10 kids; each gets a personal page with their name in the header. • PICK THE DAYS — Every Day, School Days, or any days you choose, laid out Monday to Sunday. • BIG, CLEAR GRID — task rows and day columns sized for small hands and crayons. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print straight from your iPhone, share the PDF or save it to Files. Good to know: Chorely is a chart maker, not a tracker — kids mark their progress on the printed page, and nothing is tracked in the app. Pages are US Letter landscape. Everything is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 charts. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited charts. No subscription, no ads.
