What's in the app
Everything other chore apps charge you for — all in one place, all free.
Points for Every Chore
Kids earn points when they finish tasks — 5 for easy ones, 10 for medium, 20 for hard. It gives them a reason to actually do it.
Streaks That Stick
Finish all your chores today, keep your streak alive. Hit 3, 7, 14, or 30 days and get bonus points. Kids get weirdly competitive about this.
Rewards You Choose
You decide the prizes — extra screen time, a trip for ice cream, staying up late. Kids spend their earned points to claim them.
Parent Dashboard
See who did what today at a glance. Verify completed chores before points are awarded. No more "I already did it" without proof.
Weekly & Monthly Stats
Track completion rates per kid, see which chores get done (and which get ignored), and spot trends over time.
Works Around Your Schedule
Morning chores before school, tasks for after school, weekend-only jobs. Set it once and it repeats automatically.
How it works
You set the rules. They do the chores. Everybody wins.
Create Your Household
Add your family members, pick avatars, and set your school schedule. Takes about 5 minutes.
Add Chores
Use one of the starter packs (morning routine, kitchen duty, pet care) or make your own. Set how hard each one is and who it's for.
Kids Do the Work
They open their board, see today's chores, and check them off. You verify before points get awarded.
They Spend Their Points
You stock the reward shop with whatever motivates your kids. They save up and redeem on their own.
Points, streaks, and rewards
The part that actually gets kids to do their chores without being asked.
Points by difficulty
Make Bed · Set Table · Feed Pet
Walk Dog · Do Homework · Clean Room
Mow Lawn · Deep Clean · Cook Dinner
Streak bonuses
Finish all chores for the day and the streak keeps going. Miss a day and it resets — which is surprisingly motivating.
Your rewards, your rules
Parents set the rewards and point costs. Kids browse and redeem whenever they've saved up enough.
What parents are saying
Don't take our word for it.
“My oldest has done his laundry every single week since we started using this. Before Chores Hero I couldn't get him to pick his socks up off the floor.”
Heather
Mom, two boys (6 & 9)
“Solid app. We tried a sticker chart for a while but the kids lost interest after two weeks. The points and rewards system has way more staying power. Only wish is that it synced between devices.”
Tom B.
Dad of three
“The streak thing is what hooks them. My daughter literally set an alarm so she wouldn't forget to do her chores and lose her streak. I did not ask her to do that.”
Rachel
Single mom
“We let the kids pick their own rewards — movie night, picking dinner, extra iPad time. They're actually fighting over who gets to empty the dishwasher now. Never thought I'd say that.”
James & Kim
Parents of 4
“The parent dashboard is really useful. I can check what got done while I was at work and approve everything in a couple taps. Clean design too — not cluttered like some family apps.”
Marcus
Dad, one daughter (7)
“We were spending every evening nagging about chores. Now they just check the app and do their stuff. It's been about three months and the routine has really stuck.”
Laura W.
Mom of two

Randolph Schilke
Creator & Developer of Chores Hero
I tried a lot of chore apps before building this one. The features were never quite right, the designs felt outdated, and most of them wanted to charge a ridiculous amount for something that should be simple. So I built what I actually wanted — a clean, full-featured chore app that's completely free.
My wife Tatum and our two kids, Wakely and Brielle, were the biggest influence behind Chores Hero. They were my first testers, my toughest critics, and the reason this app exists. Everything in it was shaped by what actually worked in our house.
