Bugfix

Fixed some small UI issues

Household Calendar

See everyone's chores at a glance with the all-new Household tab. Swipe between days or zoom out to a full week view with member columns. Tap any day to expand and see all the details. Completed chores stay visible so nothing gets lost.

• Day and week view with a quick toggle in the toolbar
• Sticky member headers with tap-to-focus filtering
• Snoozed chores are clearly badged on the calendar
• Your preferred view mode (day/week) is remembered

Assign Chores

Pick exactly who's responsible. When adding a new chore you can now assign it to one person, a few, or leave it open for the whole household.

Snooze Chores

Need more time? Snooze any chore to tomorrow, next week, or pick a custom date. Snoozed chores are clearly marked with a colored banner so you always know what's been postponed.

Redesigned Add Chore Flow

Creating a chore now walks you through a clean, step-by-step wizard with smooth parallax transitions. Each step — title, category, schedule, assignment — gets its own focused screen.

Edit Profile

Make it yours! Update your name and pick a fresh avatar color from the new custom color picker. Head to More → Account and tap the pencil icon.
