Getting kids to do chores shouldn't feel like a second job. Chorezilla turns household responsibilities into something kids actually look forward to. With rewards, zilla, and just enough chaos to make it fun. BUILT FOR KIDS AGES 4–16 Not all kids are the same, and Chorezilla knows it. Tasks are designed to match your child's age and ability, so a 5-year-old isn't staring at a to-do list built for a teenager. As they grow, Chorezilla grows with them. REWARDS THEY ACTUALLY WANT Kids earn points for completing chores, which they can redeem for rewards you set. Screen time, a movie night, a trip to the ice cream shop, you decide what motivates your crew. No more bribing. No more begging. PARENTS STAY IN CONTROL Assign tasks, set due dates, approve completions, and track progress all from one place. Chorezilla gives you the oversight without the micromanaging. You set the rules. The kids do the work. GAMIFIED AND ACTUALLY FUN Chorezilla makes chores feel less like chores. Kids stay engaged through a fun experience that rewards effort and consistency, so the habit actually sticks. Download Chorezilla and let the monsters handle the mess.

Turn everyday chores into a game your kids actually want to play — with rewards the whole family designs. Lumi is the smarter chore app for busy parents. Kids complete chores, take a photo, and our AI verifies the work in seconds. They earn stars they can spend on what YOU set as rewards: extra YouTube time, a trip to the park, ice cream after dinner, or anything else your family loves. HOW LUMI WORKS 1. Add your chores in 60 seconds — AI suggests a starter list based on your kid's age and interests. 2. Stock the reward shop — screen time, treats, allowance, family movie nights, custom rewards. You decide. 3. Kid completes a chore → snaps a photo → AI checks it. 4. Approved? Stars are awarded instantly. Not sure? Sent to you for a quick review. 5. Kids spend stars in the family shop — screen time unlocks instantly via Apple's Family Controls. AI THAT WORKS LIKE A SECOND PARENT Most chore apps make YOU approve every photo. Lumi uses on-device-secure AI to handle routine chores so you're not interrupted at work. Made bed, tidy room, brushed teeth, dishes done — Lumi gets it. Anything ambiguous comes to you in a smart daily digest, not 15 push notifications. MULTIPLE WAYS TO REWARD Screen time is the headline, but Lumi supports every reward style: Screen time — Auto-unlock YouTube, games, or any app via Family Controls Treats — Ice cream, dessert nights, special dinners Allowance — Virtual jar tracks what you owe, settle on your schedule Experiences — Park trips, movie nights, late bedtime, choose dinner Material — Set a budget, let kids pick a small toy Custom — Anything you can dream up KIDS LOVE THE GAME • Avatar your kid customizes — earn outfits, accessories, themes • Pet companion that grows as your kid completes chores • Daily streaks with rewards that compound • Weekly boss chores worth bonus stars • Sibling friendly — leaderboards, fair-share rotation DESIGNED FOR BUSY PARENTS • 60-second setup — AI generates your starter chore list and reward shop • Approve all pending chores in 30 seconds before bed • Smart batched notifications — one daily digest, not constant pings • Multi-kid support with per-kid catalogs and rules • Both parents can co-manage (and grandma can cheer from afar) • Works fully offline — your data stays on-device + iCloud FAMILY PRO ($6.99/mo or $59.99/yr — 7-day free trial) Free includes 1 kid, 5 chores, manual approval, basic avatar.
