HouseHeroes

HouseHeroes turns household chores into a tiny, cooperative game you play with the person you live with. No more "whose turn is it?" No more invisible labor. No more nagging. Just a clean, playful app that gives shape to the stuff that keeps your home running. • SHARED HOUSEHOLD Sync chores between you and your partner over iCloud. No accounts, no servers. You create the household, share it via iMessage, and that's it. • RECURRING CHORES Daily, weekly, or monthly. Assigned to one of you, or up for grabs for either. • UP FOR GRABS Not every chore has to be assigned. Drop it in the shared pool and whoever gets to it first earns the points. • LEVEL UP TOGETHER Both of you contribute to a shared household level. There's no rivalry — you're on the same team. • CHORE MASTERY Every chore you finish levels it up with you. Bronze, silver, gold, diamond — mastery crowns show who's the real dishes expert in your house. • STREAK FLAME The flame grows brighter and hotter the longer your streak lasts. Day 1, it's an ember. Day 30, it's an inferno. • BADGES & WEEKLY LEADERBOARD First chore, 100 chores, perfect week, early bird, team player — ten badges to collect, and a weekly leaderboard that resets every Monday. • OPTIONAL Don't like gamification? Turn it off in Settings and use HouseHeroes as a clean, simple shared chore list. • PRIVACY FIRST Your household lives in your iCloud, not on our servers. We can't read it, we don't track you, we don't sell anything. Made for couples, roommates, families, and anyone who's ever had the "who cleaned the bathroom last" argument. Be heroes together.
