"Why am I the only one who sees the mess?"
You're not imagining it. Studies show one parent typically carries the mental load of remembering everything that needs doing. Meanwhile, everyone else develops a mysterious blindness to dirty dishes.

How Chores helps families
Make chores visible, trackable, and - dare we say - almost fun. When everyone can see what needs doing, "I didn't know" stops being an excuse.
Everyone Sees Everything
The whole family shares one household view. No more "I didn't know the bathroom needed cleaning" - yes you did, it's right there in the app.
Rewards That Work
Set up rewards for hitting chore goals. Screen time, allowance, a trip for ice cream - whatever motivates your crew. (Premium feature)
Track Contributions
See who's pulling their weight with contribution charts. Great for teaching accountability - and for family meetings. (Premium feature)
Sound like your house?
Kids who "forget" their chores?
Funny how they never forget about screen time. Chores sends reminders so you don't have to nag. The app is the bad guy now, not you.
Teens who need motivation?
Connect chores to rewards they actually want. Nothing motivates a teenager like earning something they care about.
A partner who doesn't see the mess?
It's hard to miss when it's literally on a list. Chores makes household tasks visible to everyone, not just the person who usually handles them.
Want to teach responsibility?
Chores helps kids learn that contributing to the household is part of being in a family. Plus, they'll leave home knowing how to do laundry. You're welcome, future roommates.
