Tired of asking five times? Sticker charts that die by Tuesday? Allowance arguments nobody wins? Chorby ends the daily chore battle, while you keep total control from one parent hub. THE PROBLEMS CHORBY SOLVES • "I have to repeat myself all day." — Kids get their own playful task list with reminders at the right time of day. The app does the asking. Not you. • "I did it!" "No you didn't!" — Require photo proof or parent approval on the tasks that matter. Approvals, skip requests, and reward redemptions land in one queue you clear in taps. The photo settles it. • "Whose turn is it?!" — Assign tasks to one kid, several, everyone, an automatic rotation, or make it Open, up for grabs. • "Rewards work for a week, then stop." — Progress kids can SEE: work toward daily goals across five illustrated adventure maps: Enchanted Forest, Ocean Depths, Mountain Peak, Desert Oasis, Cosmic Voyage. • "Can I have 20 more minutes?" — Set your rate and screen time becomes something they buy with gems they earned. The answer stops being yes or no. It becomes how many gems. • "Allowance is a negotiation." — Set payday and choose which tasks count toward weekly allowance. Control deductions for missed tasks. Use Money Plan and Bank to track balances, Cash task earnings, deposits, withdrawals, and history. • "Every kid is different." — Choose Gems & Rewards, Cash, or achievements without currency per person, with individual rewards on shared tasks. Choose how many required tasks earn their daily streak and bonuses with a 50–100% Daily Goal. Goal changes start tomorrow. HOW IT WORKS • Answer a few questions. Chorby's Setup Wizard builds age-smart tasks, rewards, and schedules per child. Review the plan before applying it. • Tasks can be one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom repeats. Open tasks are up for grabs; Occasional tasks have no deadline. Both can earn rewards without counting toward required daily goals. • Kids earn gems for real work and spend them in a reward shop YOU stock: screen time, treats, outings, cash-outs, you name it. Set prices and availability per person. • Saving goals let kids pick a dream reward and watch it get closer every day. • Customize streak bonuses and badge rewards to celebrate effort and consistency. • Cash and allowance are family bookkeeping only. Chorby does not hold or transfer money or connect to bank accounts. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES • No child emails or passwords. Kids join with a Family ID or play on the main family device, where a Parent PIN protects parent controls. Co-parents can join too. • Home-screen widgets show tasks, balances, a chosen reward, and weekly schedules. Complete or undo supported tasks. • Complete tasks from Apple Watch, or use Parent Mode to manage approvals and check family progress. • Chorby Hub turns a spare tablet into an always-on family task board. Every kid gets their own column to tap tasks off as they go. • Works offline. Loaded task lists stay usable without internet. Changes sync when you're back online. • The whole week at a glance: view past, current, and future schedules. See what's been done, skipped, or missed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No in-app ads. No public profiles or feeds. Chorby is your household, not a social network. • Task photos, rewards, and family activity are private to your family account. • Parent Mode usage analytics and privacy-focused crash diagnostics help us improve Chorby. • Request account and family-data deletion right in the app. WHY IT STICKS Designed around the research behind habit formation: immediate feedback, visible progress, rewards, and goals that connect effort to outcome. The chores don't change. Who has to remember them does. Chorby. Tasks Completed. Habits Built. Chorby requires an auto-renewing Chorby Plus subscription.

Want a printable chore chart for the fridge without fiddling with a spreadsheet? Chorely makes a bright, kid-friendly chart in a minute — pick a template, add your kids and their tasks, and print. Choose a style, type each child's name, edit the task list and pick the days. Chorely builds one landscape page per child, ready to print on regular Letter paper. • FIVE TEMPLATES — Chore Chart, Reward Chart, Star Chart, Sticker Chart and Potty Chart, each with its own color and its own empty mark to fill in: checkbox, heart, star, sticker circle or drop. • STARTER TASKS INCLUDED — every template comes with suggested tasks (for example “Make the bed”, “Brush teeth”, “Feed the pet”), all editable. Add up to 12 tasks. • ONE PAGE PER CHILD — add up to 10 kids; each gets a personal page with their name in the header. • PICK THE DAYS — Every Day, School Days, or any days you choose, laid out Monday to Sunday. • BIG, CLEAR GRID — task rows and day columns sized for small hands and crayons. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — print straight from your iPhone, share the PDF or save it to Files. Good to know: Chorely is a chart maker, not a tracker — kids mark their progress on the printed page, and nothing is tracked in the app. Pages are US Letter landscape. Everything is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 charts. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited charts. No subscription, no ads.
