ChoreBoom turns chore day from a battle into a game the whole family actually enjoys. Parents set up a cleaning session in minutes — assign each kid their Round 1 jobs and drop a pool of point-earning tasks into Round 2. Then hand the kids the iPad and watch the scoreboard update in real time. HOW IT WORKS Kids start by completing their assigned Round 1 jobs. Once done, they unlock the Round 2 job pool and start claiming tasks for points. Every time a kid submits a job, parents get a push notification and can approve or send it back with a note. The live leaderboard keeps everyone motivated and competing for the top spot. FOR PARENTS • Real-time dashboard showing every kid's progress and pending approvals • Approve or send back any job with a note directly from your phone • Assign jobs, give bonus points, or create custom tasks on the fly • Full session history with per-kid earnings and point breakdowns • Optional monetization mode — attach a dollar value to points so kids earn real money FOR KIDS • Simple PIN login — no passwords for little ones to remember • Clear Round 1 / Round 2 progression keeps things moving • Live leaderboard with siblings adds friendly competition • Text-to-speech reads job descriptions aloud for early readers DESIGNED FOR A SHARED FAMILY IPAD ChoreBoom's two-panel layout is built for a device in the kitchen. Kids see their jobs and the live scoreboard side by side. When they're done, they tap Switch Kid and the next child takes over — no logging out, no fuss. Kids can also see the scoreboard and log in on their own devices. Set up your family in under two minutes. Your first chore day is one tap away.

The chore chart that ends the whose-turn-is-it argument. Chore Chart splits housework across your family, flatmates, or partner, rotates the rota automatically, and keeps score — so the person who actually scrubbed the bathroom gets the credit. Most chore apps stop at a checklist. Chore Chart is built around fairness: every chore carries points, a scheduling engine hands the heavy jobs around evenly, and over a full rotation everyone ends up carrying exactly the same load — not roughly the same, exactly. A fairness meter shows how evenly this week's work actually landed. WHAT YOU GET • A rota that runs itself — mark a chore as rotating and it moves to the next housemate each day or week, no redrawing the chart • Points that settle arguments: "you never do anything" meets a bar chart of who did what since Monday • A live fairness meter — see at a glance whether this week's split is 94% even or one person is carrying the house • A leaderboard with all-time scores, trophies, and a feed of every chore ticked and by whom • Daily and weekly chores that uncheck themselves at midnight or on Monday — nothing to reset, ever • Starter sets that put a whole household routine on the board in under a minute PERFECT FOR • Flatshares tired of the passive-aggressive kitchen note • Couples splitting housework without keeping mental score • Families getting kids to own their jobs through points and trophies • Anyone running a weekly cleaning routine who wants receipts, not memory WHY NOT JUST A SHARED TO-DO LIST? A list tells you what needs doing. It doesn't decide who, doesn't rotate the jobs nobody wants, and doesn't remember that you did the dishes nine days straight. Chore Chart does all three — assignment, rotation, and a scoreboard — on one screen you check in seconds. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on this iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking. Your household's data is nobody's business but the house's.
