Read full description

See who does how much. Keep it fair. No schedules, no reminders, no shame. TallyChores is the shared chore board for your household. Do a chore, tap it โ€” that's a tally. The marks stack up, and the balance speaks for itself. The chore fight is never really about the dishes โ€” it's about whether the work is seen. TallyChores makes it visible: who did what, when, and how it adds up. This app records โ€” it never bosses anyone around. WHO IT'S FOR - For couples โ€” see the real split at last, including the planning and remembering nobody else sees. The mental load counts here. - For families โ€” a chore chart kids get in one try: tap, counted, cheered. No allowances, no gold stars; being seen is the reward. - For flatshares โ€” one honest board, no admin. Nobody can quietly tidy the history, the house rules stay pinned on top, and your data moves out with you. HOW IT WORKS - The Board: your chores, your categories. Tap to log โ€” counted. - Weights: every chore carries time and effort, so scrubbing the bathroom counts more than watering a plant. - Together: did it as a team? One chore splits across helpers, down to the last point. - The Log: the shared history โ€” every entry attributed, edits worn openly, thanks sent with a heart. - Photos: before/after proof for the jobs where proof beats promises. - The Balance: week or month, with a plain verdict โ€” balanced, or leaning. - House agreements: one pinned note for the rules you actually agreed on. ONE BOARD, EVERY PHONE Up to eight people join with one QR scan, or a link you send โ€” no sign-up, no invites lost in inboxes. If someone can't install the app, the same link opens your household in the web app at tallychores.com โ€” the same board in their browser, and the easiest place to build it with a real keyboard. IN YOUR LANGUAGE TallyChores speaks 38 languages, and each phone picks its own in Settings. Chore names on the board stay in your words. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No sign-up, no account. We don't know your name, your email, or who's in your household. - End-to-end encrypted sync: our server stores only ciphertext it cannot read. - No analytics, no trackers, no ads. Your chores are nobody's data. PRICING Free on your own phone โ€” everything but the all-time balance. Going online starts a free month of syncing for the whole household: no payment details, and it never turns into a charge by itself. After that, Household Plus covers every phone with one purchase โ€” a yearly subscription, or lifetime once and done. If Plus ever lapses, every phone keeps everything it has. A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER I'm one developer, and I built TallyChores for my own household first. Our chore arguments were never about the dishes โ€” they were about whether the work was seen. An honest count settled more of them than any schedule ever did. Terms of Use (EULA): https://tallychores.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://tallychores.com/privacy

Kleara turns "the house needs cleaning" into a short list for today. Tell it what kind of home you have and which rooms are in it. Kleara fills in the chores and how often each one comes round: the sink every few days, sheets every week, the oven once a month. Change any task, any frequency, any day. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Today: what's due, what's late, and how much of today is already done โ€ข A plan for every room: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, hallway, laundry and more โ€ข Household: invite up to 6 people with a link and everyone sees the same plan โ€ข Take turns: chores rotate so one person doesn't end up doing everything โ€ข Holiday mode: pause the plan while you're away, with no pile-up when you're back โ€ข Push a chore to tomorrow, move it to another day, or undo a tap you didn't mean โ€ข Add your own chores to any room and choose how often they come round SHARING IS FREE Inviting the people you live with is part of every plan, never a paid extra. The plan syncs through your own iCloud: no account, no password, no ads. FREE TO USE, PRO WHEN YOU WANT MORE The whole plan, every room and household sharing are free. On the free plan, one chore you finish each day gets its next date. With Kleara Pro, every chore you finish does, and one Pro covers everyone who joins your shared home. Choose weekly, monthly or yearly (the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for eligible customers), or pay once for lifetime access. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vomcore.com/kleara/privacy
