# How to add chores

Tap + at the bottom of the screen, then tap Quick Task, pick a task from the list or search, set who does it and the schedule, and tap Save.

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**.

## 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.
