Remember when we launched Households with shared grocery lists? You loved it! And you told us what you wanted next: a way to manage household chores that doesn't feel like... well, a chore. Today, we're thrilled to introduce Household Chores — a fun, visual way to share the load and celebrate getting things done together! 🎉

Say Hello to Your New Chore Champions! 🏆​

We've completely reimagined how household chores work, making them visual, engaging, and dare we say... fun? Here's what makes our approach special:

The Super Hero View 🦸‍♀️​

Transform your household members into chore champions! Each person gets their own colorful column showing:

  • Their assigned chores with fun emoji icons
  • Star ratings for completed tasks ⭐
  • A visual celebration of who's crushing it
  • Real-time updates as chores get done

Smart Chore Management 🧠​

Creating and managing chores has never been easier:

  • Quick Add with Emojis: Choose from 180+ pre-configured chore suggestions with matching emojis
  • Flexible Assignments: Assign chores to one person, multiple people, or everyone
  • One-Click Completion: Tap to mark done, tap again to undo
  • Difficulty Levels: Tag chores as Easy, Medium, or Hard
  • Visual Progress: See at a glance what's done and what needs attention

Features That Make Chores Less... Chore-like 🎮​

The Chore Champion Banner 🏅​

Every household needs motivation! Our dynamic banner celebrates:

  • Current chore champion (most stars earned)
  • Total household completion rate
  • Encouraging messages that change based on progress
  • Fun emoji celebrations for hitting milestones

Multiple View Modes 👀​

Switch between views to match your style:

  • Grid View: Traditional layout with clear assignment indicators
  • Heroes View: Fun, card-based layout celebrating individual contributions
  • Tablet Mode: Optimized for kitchen counters and family command centers

Real-Time Collaboration 🔄​

Just like our grocery lists, chores sync instantly:

  • See when someone claims a chore
  • Get notifications when tasks are completed
  • Watch the champion leaderboard update live
  • No more "I didn't know that was done!"

  1. Navigate to the Chores tab in your household
  2. Click "Add New Chore! 🎉"
  3. Pick from suggestions or create your own
  4. Choose an emoji (or let us suggest one!)
  5. Set difficulty and assign heroes
  6. Watch your household transform into a productivity powerhouse!

Whether you're managing a busy family, coordinating with roommates, or just trying to keep your partner accountable (we see you 😄), Household Chores adapts to your needs:

  • Families: Turn cleaning into a game kids actually want to play
  • Roommates: Fair distribution, clear accountability, no more passive-aggressive notes
  • Couples: Share the mental load and celebrate wins together
  • Multi-generational: Easy enough for kids, powerful enough for adulting
