Smart chore scheduling for your home. Zero negotiating required. ChorifIQ is a family chore manager and tracker with fair rotation, effort-point balance, and photo-verified completions — for parents, couples, and roommates. ChorifIQ brings smart flexibility to your household routine, using intelligent scheduling to make sure the work gets done without burnout or constant negotiating. Whether you're a parent dividing tasks among kids, a couple splitting household duties, roommates keeping shared spaces clean, or someone staying on top of your own place — ChorifIQ adapts to how you actually live. SMART, FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Move beyond simple "Monday/Thursday" repeats. Schedule chores on specific days, set recurring intervals (daily, weekly, monthly), or create one-time tasks for specific dates. Early reschedule pulls forward chores to fill gaps, and auto-expire keeps overdue tasks from piling up. FAIR ASSIGNMENT & ROTATION Assign chores to one person, everyone, or a specific group. Strict rotation ensures nobody gets stuck with the same chore twice in a row. Members can self-assign eligible chores when they want to pitch in. POINT-BASED BALANCE Not all chores are equal. Assign effort points based on difficulty, and set individual goals by points or number of chores over any time interval. Per-day targets let you customize the workload for each day of the week. BUILT-IN MOTIVATION Leaderboards rank members by streak, speed, or total output. Personal stats track completion rates, points earned, and personal records. Confetti celebrations make finishing chores feel rewarding. VACATION MODE Set household-wide or individual vacation days to automatically skip chores during breaks, trips, or busy weeks. Pause scheduling entirely for someone who's traveling or unavailable. Vacation days never break streaks. GET STARTED FAST Browse 100+ pre-built chore templates from the Chore Library, filtered by age and effort level. Or bulk import your own chore list from a spreadsheet — name, description, points, and assignments included. PHOTO PROOF & NOTES Want confirmation without checking every task yourself? Members can attach photos as proof of completion and add shared notes for context. NOTIFICATIONS YOUR WAY Push notifications for assignments, completions, and leaderboard changes. Daily email digests and weekly reports keep managers informed. SMS reminders for morning and evening ensure nothing slips through the cracks. COPPA-COMPLIANT MINOR ACCOUNTS Built with real families in mind. Minor accounts require parental consent, age-appropriate permissions are enforced throughout, and parents control notifications for kids. ROLES THAT MAKE SENSE Managers control the schedule: create chores, approve members, configure settings, and view the full household dashboard. Members see their tasks, complete them, and track their own progress. SUBSCRIPTION TIERS - Free: Core chore management — 1 manager, 3 members, 40 chores, push notifications - Pro: Advanced scheduling, email digests, per-day goals, bulk import, specific vacation dates - Max: Everything in Pro, plus SMS reminders, weekly reports, photo proof, and more members WHAT MANAGERS CAN DO - Create chores with flexible schedules and rotation rules - Assign, reassign, excuse, or expire chores - Quick Assign by points or chore count with goal-aware warnings - Approve or remove household members - Receive daily summaries and weekly family reports - Pause scheduling for individual members WHAT MEMBERS CAN DO - View daily and upcoming chores at a glance - Complete chores with optional photo proof - Track personal points, streaks, and goal progress - Self-assign eligible chores - Customize notification preferences Simple to use.
