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!"

4. Choose an emoji (or let us suggest one!)

• Families: Turn cleaning into a game kids actually want to play

Hey MYN family! 👋

We've been cooking up something special based on your feedback, and today we're thrilled to share it with you: Households — a new way to collaborate with the people who matter most in your daily life. And yes, that includes shared grocery lists! 🛒

What are Households? 🏡​

Households let you create a shared space with your family or roommates where everyone can stay in sync. Think of it as your productivity command center for the whole crew — whether that's your partner, kids, or the folks you share a roof with.

Here's what you can do right now:

• Create a household and invite up to 6 people
• Share a grocery list that updates in real-time for everyone
• Share premium benefits — when the household owner has premium, everyone gets it! 🎁
• Manage members with owner and member roles
• Stay private — your personal tasks remain yours alone

Shared Grocery Lists That Actually Work 📝​

Ever sent someone to the store only to get three texts asking "wait, what kind of milk?" We've all been there. Our shared grocery lists solve this:

• Real-time sync — add items and everyone sees them instantly
• Check off items as you shop (no more double-buys!)
• Smart categories to keep your list organized
• Quantity tracking so you know exactly how much to get
• Drag-and-drop to reorder items just the way you like

Getting Started is Easy 🚀​

1. Head to Settings → Household tab
2. Create your household (give it a fun name!)
3. Invite family or roommates by email
4. Start adding to your shared grocery list

That's it! Your invitees will get a friendly email to join, and you'll be collaborating in no time.

Premium Benefits for Everyone! 🌟​

Here's something special: when the household owner has a premium subscription, everyone in the household gets premium benefits too! That's right — one subscription covers your whole crew of up to 6 people. It's our way of making Mind Your Now more affordable for families and groups living together.

Privacy First 🔐​

We know sharing is caring, but privacy matters too. Here's how we've got your back:

• Your personal tasks stay personal — only grocery lists are shared (for now)
• You can only belong to one household at a time
• Clear owner/member roles keep things organized
• Leave anytime if your living situation changes

Still in Beta — More Coming Soon! 🚧​

This is just the beginning! We're actively polishing the experience and here's a sneak peek at what's next:

• Shared household tasks — delegate chores, coordinate schedules, and keep everyone accountable
• Task templates for recurring household duties
• Better mobile experience for shopping on the go
• More collaborative features based on your feedback

We Want Your Feedback! 💬​

Since this is a beta feature, your input is gold. Try it out with your household and let us know:

• What's working great?
• What could be smoother?
• What features would make household collaboration even better?
