Chore Rotations

Take turns on household chores. The app tracks whose turn it is and automatically advances to the next person on your schedule.

Setting Up a Rotating Chore

Tap + on the home screen to create a new chore
Select an Area (e.g., Kitchen, Bathroom, Yard)
Select one or more Tasks for the chore
Assign 2 or more family members by tapping their profile tiles
Under assignment type, select Rotate
Configure the rotation:
- Interval - How often to switch (e.g., every 1, 2, or 3)
- Unit - Day, Week, or Month
- Starting profile - Who goes first
Set your Recurrence (how often the chore is due)
Tap Save

Rotation is a premium feature. Existing rotating chores can still be edited on free plans.

How Rotation Works

Recurrence controls when a chore appears. Rotation controls who does it.

The assigned members take turns in order. When the rotation interval passes, the app moves to the next person automatically.

Example : Alex, Jordan, and Sam rotate a daily kitchen chore every 1 day:

Day	Assigned To
Mon	Alex
Tue	Jordan
Wed	Sam
Thu	Alex
Fri	Jordan

After Sam's turn, it wraps back to Alex.

Rotation Intervals Beyond Daily

You can rotate less frequently than every day. The rotation interval is independent of how often the chore is due.

Every 3 Days

Rotation unit: Day , interval: 3

Day 1-3	Day 4-6	Day 7-9
Alex	Jordan	Sam

The chore still appears on its recurrence schedule (daily, weekly, etc.), but the person responsible only changes every 3 days.

Every Week

Rotation unit: Week , interval: 1

Week 1	Week 2	Week 3
Alex	Jordan	Sam

Good for weekly chores like mowing the lawn or cleaning the bathroom.

Every 2 Weeks

Rotation unit: Week , interval: 2

Weeks 1-2	Weeks 3-4	Weeks 5-6
Alex	Jordan	Sam

Every Month

Rotation unit: Month , interval: 1

January	February	March
Alex	Jordan	Sam

Viewing Upcoming Assignments

You don't have to wait for the rotation to happen to see who's next.

On the Home Screen

Scroll the calendar to a future date. The chore will show the predicted assignee for that day, not just the current person.

On the Chore Detail Screen

Tap on a rotating chore
Look for the assignee row with the rotation icon
Tap the assignee badge to expand it
The expanded view shows upcoming turns with the person's name and the date their turn begins

This lets you plan ahead and see the full rotation schedule.

Tips

Missed days? If the app hasn't been opened for a while, it catches up automatically and skips to the correct person.
Changing the order : Edit the chore and drag profiles to reorder the rotation sequence.
Resetting rotation : Use the reset option in the chore menu to start the cycle over from the beginning.
Removing someone : If a person is removed from the rotation, the app advances to the next person and adjusts the order.
