Points and a points board
Optional points per chore, and a board that shows the totals. Useful with kids, fun with adults.
Tasks and chores, part of Work
Chores that rotate themselves.
Tasks with an owner and a due date. Chores that move to the next person when they are done. Points if you want them.
Tasks
Everything a task needs, nothing it doesn’t.
Each task has an assignee, a due date, a priority, a checklist, a repeat and notes. It shows up on the calendar on its due date, and in the weekly brief as overdue, upcoming or yours.
- Assignee and due date
- Priority and a checklist
- Repeats and notes
Rotation
Done means it is someone else’s turn.
Give a chore a rotation, like Nora, then Theo, then Dev. When the person on duty marks it done, the chore passes to the next person and its next due date is set. Nobody keeps a chart on the fridge.
The extras
Small things that make it stick.
Errands
A task with a place: “pick up the prescription”, “return the drill”.
Tasks from a sentence
“John needs to fill up the car” in Tell the house becomes a task for John.
Questions

Can a child without a login have chores?

Do points turn into anything?
Points are a count on the points board. What they are worth in your house is up to you.
Is it on the Free plan?
Yes. Tasks, chores and the rotation automation are all on Free.
