Chores Machine

The world's best snooze list. Chores Machine is a calm home for the things that come back: watering the plants, changing the sheets, cleaning the oven, paying the bill. Add a chore, say how often, and it disappears until it is due. When it comes back, one tap ticks it off. No sign-up. No streaks. No guilt. Just a quiet list that stays out of your way until something actually needs doing. OUT OF SIGHT UNTIL DUE Home shows only what is due now. Everything else waits, with a small peek at what is next. ONE TAP, EVERY TIME Ticking a chore off feels good, because it should. The next one is scheduled from when you actually did it. Ticked the wrong one? Undo it from the chore. GENTLE REMINDERS One reminder on the day, around the time you usually do that chore. Never before 07:00 or after 21:00. WORKS OFFLINE Everything is on your phone. Tick things off on a plane or in the basement, and it syncs when you are back. YOUR LISTS, FREE FOREVER Everything for one person is free, with no limits and no ads.
