FlowHome – Family Chores Without the Arguments and Paper Charts FlowHome is a simple app that helps parents organize household chores for their kids — no bulletin boards, magnets, or constant reminders needed. You plan the tasks, kids pick and complete them on their own, and you just check in at the end to make sure everything got done. How it works As a parent, you create a task pool and schedule tasks for specific days — one-time or recurring (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly). Each child has their own profile with a PIN code, so they can log in on a shared phone or tablet independently. They pick a task from the day's list, mark it as done, and you can optionally approve it. What the app can do • Plan tasks for a day, week, month, or a whole year ahead • Recurring tasks without having to re-enter them every time • Simple calendar with an overview of scheduled days • Optional parent approval for completed tasks • Optional points system to motivate kids • Custom avatar and color for each child and parent • Notifications with a summary of incomplete tasks — up to 5 times a day, only when there's actually something to handle • Support for multiple parents in one household (e.g. mum and dad sharing the same kids) • Login with name and PIN, quick device pairing via QR code Who is FlowHome for For families who want to give their kids a bit of independence while still keeping track of what actually got done and what didn't — without daily arguments and without a chart on the fridge. Subscription You can try FlowHome free for 21 days with no limitations. After the trial period, full use requires an annual FlowHome Premium subscription, which renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in your Apple ID Settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlowHome at none against Productive's shown. FlowHome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Productive's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.5). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
