About

Recure

Features
Read full description

Recure is a household chore tracker built for couples, flatmates and small families. No more "whose turn was it this week?" — the app picks who's up next, rotation stays fair, and you both see the same list. WHAT MAKES RECURE DIFFERENT • Rotation, not assignments. Pick two or more people for a chore and turns shift automatically after each completion. Home always shows whose turn it is now — and who's next. • Shared, not divided. One household, one list — open the app on either phone and you're looking at the same chores. • Warm, not nagging. Streaks, gentle colors, and stats about what your house did together — no leaderboards, no scorekeeping. HOW IT WORKS • Answer a quick quiz and get a starter chore list that fits your home • Invite your partner with a link or a QR code they can just scan • Add your own chores and set how often they repeat (every 2 days, 7 days, etc.) • Tap the check when done — the turn passes to the next person automatically • Started solo? Add your partner by name and rotation is ready the moment they join • Reset the invite code anytime if you share it with the wrong person WEEKLY STATS See your house's week at a glance — chores completed, your streak, and a daily activity chart. It's about what got done together, not who did more. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. Your household data lives on your account and is shared only with household members. You can delete your account any time from Settings. Questions, feedback or bugs: support@getrecure.com
