Adding and Assigning a New Chore

Please add all of your children to the app before you assign chores.

On the main screen, tap “Assign Chores”.

Tap “New Chore” at the top right of the Assign screen.

Enter the chore’s name.

(Optional) Enter a description of the chore, or add a picture, to show your child what is expected.

The app picks a theme picture from the chore’s name. To choose another one, tap the theme drop-down.

Tap “Assignees”, then “Select Assignees”.

Check the children who should do this chore, then tap “OK”.

The children you chose are listed under Assignees.

Tap “Options”.

The app starts with “Required-for-Allowance Chore”. Required chores are the ones your children should do to earn their allowance. Harder chores can be given a higher difficulty.

If you would like to keep this chore but take it off your children’s chore lists for a while, check “Pause this chore”.

To pay for a chore each time it’s done, choose “Reward Chore” and enter the amount. Each assignee can do the chore on each day that it’s scheduled.

An “Up-For-Grabs Chore” also pays each time it’s done, but only the first child to do it each day gets the reward.

Reward and Up-For-Grabs chores are Premium features.

Tap “Schedule”.

Daily chores can be done every day, or every 2 or 3 days, and so on. Weekly chores are done on the days of the week you choose, every week or every 2 or 3 weeks. Monthly chores are done on the days of the month you choose. A “Once” chore is done on one day.

The chart at the top shows which children do the chore on each day.

You can also rotate the chore between the children (see Rotating Chores Between Your Children).

Tap “Save”.

The new chore is shown on the Assign screen.

To change a chore, tap the pencil next to it, then “Edit”. You can also “Duplicate” or “Delete” it there.

To quickly change who does each chore, check or uncheck the boxes under the children’s names, then tap “Apply”.

To change the order of a child’s chores, tap the child’s name at the top of the Assign screen, then hold your finger on a chore and drag it up or down. Your child sees their chores in this order.

Congratulations, you have created a chore and assigned it to your kids!

Your children can tap their picture on the main screen, tap “Chores”, and check off each chore when it’s done.
