How to add chores

Tap + to open What needs doing?, where you pick ready-made chores, add a whole routine at once, or create your own. Adding chores is done on a parent's profile.

Add everyday chores

1. Tap +.
2. Under For, tap the kids the chores are for. Only members who earn rewards are listed. With nobody picked, it says For (anyone can do it).
3. Under Everyday chores, tap each chore you want, like Make bed or Brush teeth. Each one shows the points it pays in a points home.
4. Tap Add 1 chore or Add 3 chores (the button counts what you picked).

In a money home, set Pay per chore before adding, or leave it empty to set the amount later. When a chore is for several kids, each kid gets their own copy to complete.

Add a ready-made set

Sets are a few chores that go together, like Morning routine, Bedtime routine or Pet care. When you pick one kid under For, you see the sets that suit their age.

1. Tap +.
2. Under Ready-made sets, tap a set to see its chores and how often they repeat.
3. Tap Add this set. On the free plan, if only part of it fits, the button says how many it adds, for example Add 3 of 4 chores.

Find any chore, or create your own

1. Tap +, then type in Search chores.
2. Tick a chore that matches and tap Add 1 chore, or tap one under More chores by room to open it in the chore form.
3. If nothing fits, tap Create with what you typed (for example Create “Meditation”), or tap Custom chore at the top of the screen or at the end of Everyday chores. Chores you already picked are added first.

A custom chore opens the full chore form. What needs doing? comes first; Pick a room (optional) is only needed when you want the room's tasks, like Mop floor in the kitchen. A chore without a room is listed under Everyday. See How to create a chore.

Good to know

• On the free plan, a home has up to 5 chores. The line at the top, like "3 of 5 free chores", shows how many you've used, and Go unlimited upgrades to premium. A set adds what fits and shows the rest with a lock. When all 5 are used, + shows "You're using your 5 free chores" instead, and so does ticking a chore once the free ones are picked.
• On the Rewards tab of a points home, + adds a custom reward instead, which needs premium.

Troubleshooting

• "Say what needs doing, or pick a room and its tasks" A chore without a room needs a name: type what needs doing, or pick a room and at least one of its tasks.
• "You're using your 5 free chores" The free plan has 5 chores. Premium gives you unlimited chores, plus photo proof, rotation and custom rewards: tap See Premium to see the plans. Or tap Not now and delete a chore you no longer need.
• "Your profile is not allowed to make changes." Switch to a parent's profile to add chores.
