Every family gets an AI coach — one that meets each kid exactly where they are and helps the whole family grow. Parents included. ChoreChomp isn't a chore chart with reminders. It's a coach. Kids finish a task — a quick tap for daily routines, a photo for the bigger jobs — and the coach looks at the actual work: warm, specific feedback on what they nailed and what to polish, tuned to their age. Little kids get cheerleading. Teens get honest. And every day, the coach writes YOU a short note that knows your family's week. YOUR DAILY COACH NOTE Three parts, thirty seconds: What's great — the win worth naming, with the number to prove it. Worth a look — only when something genuinely needs attention, never invented. How to encourage — one concrete thing to say to your kid today. Kids keep trying when someone notices; the coach makes sure you never miss the moment. HOMEWORK HELP THAT TEACHES (PRO) Snap up to six pages in one go — math, reading, science together. The coach sorts out which pages belong to which assignment, checks each one, and gives hints that guide thinking without giving answers away. Older kids get a real review: every error called out, and honest work gets honest credit. THE CHORES RUN THEMSELVES - Assign in seconds from a picture-card library of 150+ chores, or make your own. - Kids snap a photo; the coach reviews it instantly. Routines like brushing teeth are one tap. - You approve everything from one scrollable feed — points, streaks, and allowance follow automatically. - Morning and evening chores sort themselves by time of day, for kids and for you. MONEY SKILLS, BUILT IN Points become real money at a rate you set — and every allowance kid gets My Bank: a spending balance, a savings balance, and weekly interest that lands every Sunday. A growth chart shows what this week's savings become in a month, six months, a year — compound interest, made click-able. Kids decide what to save; you pay out however you already do (cash, Venmo, Cash App). ChoreChomp tracks every cent and never touches the money itself. WHY KIDS LOVE IT - Feedback that feels like a coach cheering them on — not a parent nagging. - Ages 4–7 get big picture cards, no reading required. Teens (13+) get a sleek, grown-up look. - Points, levels, daily streaks, and surprise mini-games after a job well done. - Watch savings grow with real weekly interest — money smarts before a first job. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT - The first look at every chore happens automatically. You just cheer and approve. - The daily note tells you who's on a roll, who tried something new, and when a high-five is due. - Turn any tablet into a shared Family Dashboard; invite a co-parent — one plan covers everyone. - Tune the coach per kid: age level, gentle or standard grading. BUILT TO BE SAFE - Parent approval at the center; a parent PIN protects the handoff. - Photos are screened for safe, chore-related content and deleted after review. - Parental consent and controls for younger kids. No ads, ever. TRY IT FREE Add a kid, assign a first chore, and watch the coach check a real photo — all before you subscribe. Plans start at $3.99/month with a two-week free trial.

Chores, without the nagging. Every family runs on a hundred small jobs — beds made, dishes cleared, bins out, homework started. HouseHeld keeps track of all of it, so you don't have to. You set the chores. Your kids see what's theirs to do. They tick things off, earn points, and trade those points for rewards you've chosen yourself — screen time, a trip to the park, whatever works in your house. How it works Add your children to your household, each with their own profile. Assign chores — pick from a built-in list or write your own. Set which ones repeat, and when. Your kids open the app and see exactly what's expected of them today. When a job's done, they mark it complete. You can ask for a photo as proof for the ones that need it. Approve it, and the points land in their balance. You decide what those points are worth. Set up rewards at whatever price makes sense, and your kids can save up and redeem them when they're ready. Built for families • Separate profiles for every family member, with their own chores and points • A built-in library of common chores, or add your own • Repeating chores — daily, weekly, or on the days you choose • Photo proof for the jobs where it helps • Points, levels, streaks and badges to keep kids interested • Rewards you define, at prices you set • Optional allowance tracking alongside points • Parent-only settings behind a PIN, so nothing gets changed without you • Notifications when chores are due, completed, or waiting on your approval For everyone in the house, run by parents HouseHeld is used by the whole household — parents and children together — so there are no ads, no chat, no social feeds, and no way for anyone outside your household to see anything. Everything that happens in the app stays inside your family. Parents hold the controls. Subscription settings, household setup and account details all sit behind a parent PIN. Subscription HouseHeld costs $1 for your first week, then $7.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel — in the app under Manage Subscription, or wherever you started it. The $1 first-week charge is non-refundable.
