Stop being the only one who remembers. In most homes one person quietly runs the whole system - remembering, reminding, planning. Choreless is the shared chore list where the app does the reminding, not you. SHARED, NOT SOLO You and your partner see the same home. Tasks, shopping list, who did what - in real time, on both phones. Add a chore on your way out the door and it is already on their screen. THE APP NUDGES, NOT YOU A calm morning digest lands once a day. Per-task reminders go to the right person at the right moment. You stop being the human calendar, and nobody has to be nagged. A SHORT TODAY, NOT AN ENDLESS LIST Everything lives in one shared backlog. Each day Choreless surfaces only what matters now - a daily focus you can actually finish. No wall of red overdue items. BUILT FOR THE PARTNER WHO WON'T OPEN A TO-DO APP Adding a task takes one field. Bad moment? Snooze the reminder straight from the lock screen. No projects, no tags, no setup weekend. NO SCOREBOARD, NO ROLES Choreless never counts who did more. It celebrates what gets done and routes a quick thank-you where it belongs. MADE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE - Recurring chores that come back on their own - laundry, plants, bills, bins, all of it - A shared shopping list either of you can grab on the way to the store - "When I'll do it" kept separate from "when it's due" - no fake urgency - Assign a task, or leave it open for whoever gets there first - A family streak for the days you keep the home running together - Works for couples, roommates, and anyone sharing a home ONE SUBSCRIPTION COVERS YOUR WHOLE HOME Only one person subscribes. Share a link and up to five people join the same home with full access. Nobody pays twice for the same house. TRY IT FREE Choreless is free for 14 days — full access, nothing held back.

Whose turn is it to clean? Who still owes for the groceries? Put it in Housey so nobody has to scroll through the group chat to find out. Made for college roommates and anyone sharing a house or apartment. Pick cleaning days, split shared bills and message each other in one app. PICK A DAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO Claim an available cleaning day around classes or work. Check off the kitchen, bathroom and other shared rooms as you finish. Everyone can see what's done, what's partly finished and which turns were missed. CLEANED EXTRA? LOG IT. Took out the trash even though it wasn't your turn? Add a quick clean with a note, room and optional photo. Extra jobs show up alongside scheduled turns on the house scoreboard. SPLIT THE BILL Add groceries, supplies or another shared bill in US dollars. Choose who's splitting it and Housey works out equal shares. See who still owes, who marked their payment sent and whose payment has been confirmed. Pay each other through Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, cash or whatever method you agree on. You can save payment details in Housey so your roommates know where to send money. Housey records your updates. It does not transfer money or check your bank account. TEXT THE HOUSE Ask about a cleaning swap, send a photo or reply to a specific message. React with an emoji, see who's online and check which messages have been read. Chat messages and photos are removed after 12 months (365 days). SAVE THE WI-FI PASSWORD Keep your house address, Wi-Fi details and house rules together. Copy what you need instead of asking again. Hosts can give trusted roommates permission to update the house info. CHECK THE HOUSE UPDATES See cleaning progress, quick cleans, payment updates and house changes in the activity center. Related updates are grouped together, and important house changes also appear in chat. ONE PERSON SUBSCRIBES. ROOMMATES JOIN FREE. The person who creates the house pays for the subscription and invites everyone else with a house code. Invited roommates join that house free. Choose monthly or annual billing in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel them in your Apple account settings.
