About

SharedChores

Read full description

Stop carrying the whole reminder list. SharedChores turns “Can you do that?” into “Already done.” Share the everyday stuff, see who’s got what, and watch the list get lighter—without turning chores into an allowance or a public contest. Add a chore in seconds. Give it to someone, or leave it up for grabs. Everyone can claim what they can handle, mark it done, and move the group one step closer. Busy day? Add one optional completion photo while marking a chore done so your private group can see what was finished. Photos are never public and disappear automatically after 90 days. Choose 1–5 Chore Points when you make a chore, then watch those little high-fives add up for the person who handled it. Lifetime totals stay inside your group. If a child’s chore needs an adult check, its points appear only after approval. Keep a gentle rhythm without the guilt. Your private Together streak celebrates consecutive days when anyone in the group finishes something, and a timed chore can carry one optional heads-up an hour before it is due—never a string of repeat pings. Split tonight’s reset with your partner. Make helping out clearer for the kids. Keep a bigger crew moving when there are more hands in the mix. Your group simply grows as you add people. Open Chore Rewards when you want extra motivation. Choose a challenge that fits real life—tonight, this weekend, this month, the whole year, your own dates, or no deadline—and add an optional reward for everyone to enjoy. Start with an editable idea like Win the Week, make your own, or keep using everyday chores without a challenge.

Both plans renew automatically unless canceled. There is no free plan or free trial. Start with a few thoughtful choices about what would make everyday life easier. Build a first plan, make your group, and pick your subscription. Skip any preference question. If you choose to share your answers, the app’s creator can use those choices to make SharedChores better; sharing is optional. Private by design. No ads. No public profiles. No contact uploads. No public chore pages. Get it done together. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
