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.

About

Take Thursday

Read full description

Take Thursday is the app for the parent who carries the whole invisible schedule — and for everyone who helps carry it. Once a week, it surfaces the few things that actually need an owner and lets you route each one — "drive to practice, both ways" — to whoever can take it. They claim it with one tap. Whoever claims a thing gets the morning-of reminder, so you can finally stop being the only one who remembers. And it's grown into the whole family's home base: • TODAY — your family at a glance: what's handled, what's still waiting, chores, dinner, and who's got the kids. • ROUTE & CLAIM — hand off a complete responsibility in one tap; if no one takes it, it comes right back to you. Nothing drops. • KIDS & CHORES — daily and weekly chores, checked off in one tap, with optional points and allowance. • EVERYONE HELPS — add the co-parent, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. A grandparent can help three families and see it all in one place. • LISTS & MORE — a shared grocery list, dinner tonight, a family board for notes and birthdays, coverage for who's watching the kids, and medication check-offs. • CALENDAR SYNC — connect Google Calendar and your week drafts itself. What Take Thursday is NOT: a scoreboard. It never compares the caregivers — no tallies, no points between grown-ups, no guilt. Saying "can't this time" is as easy as saying yes. Your data is yours: export it or delete your account anytime, right in Settings.
