Read full description

Family Checklist is a weekly chore chart for kids and parents: stars and streaks instead of money, print it for the fridge, sync across devices. Tired of repeating "brush your teeth" and "pack your bag" a hundred times every morning? Family Checklist turns daily chaos into a calm, visual routine the whole family can see β€” and kids actually follow. No nagging. No yelling. No bribes. Just a shared board where everyone knows what to do and when β€” and feels proud when it's done. POSITIVE PARENTING APPROACH We don't believe in bribing kids with screen time or allowance. Instead, kids see their progress, feel ownership, and build independence β€” one checkmark at a time. Stars and streaks, not dollars and cents. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€’ Weekly Family Board: See everyone's schedule at a glance on one screen β€’ 150+ Built-in Tasks: Age-appropriate chores with kid-friendly icons, or create your own β€’ Habit Tracking & Streaks: Track progress, collect stars, and build consistency β€’ Print for Fridge: Generate and print a beautiful weekly PDF chart in one tap β€’ Family Sync: Mom, Dad, and kids stay in sync across all devices β€’ Positive Motivation: Focus on achievements and pride rather than monetary rewards BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES Perfect for kids 6–14, but works great for the whole household. Works beautifully for co-parenting too β€” same chore chart synced across both homes. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your family members 2. Pick tasks from 150+ ready-made chores (or create your own) 3. Set the weekly schedule 4. Watch your family get organized β€” without the nagging TRY IT FREE Start with 3 family members and 3 tasks each β€” enough to see it works. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited members, tasks, family sync, and printing. Terms of Use: https://family-checklist.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://family-checklist.com/privacy.html

Want a printable chore chart for the fridge without fiddling with a spreadsheet? Chorely makes a bright, kid-friendly chart in a minute β€” 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. β€’ FIVE TEMPLATES β€” 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. β€’ STARTER TASKS INCLUDED β€” every template comes with suggested tasks (for example β€œMake the bed”, β€œBrush teeth”, β€œFeed the pet”), all editable. Add up to 12 tasks. β€’ ONE PAGE PER CHILD β€” add up to 10 kids; each gets a personal page with their name in the header. β€’ PICK THE DAYS β€” Every Day, School Days, or any days you choose, laid out Monday to Sunday. β€’ BIG, CLEAR GRID β€” task rows and day columns sized for small hands and crayons. β€’ PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE β€” print straight from your iPhone, share the PDF or save it to Files. Good to know: Chorely is a chart maker, not a tracker β€” 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 β€” nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free β€” 3 charts. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited charts. No subscription, no ads.
