Chores

The chore chart app for kids that runs itself.

Foodoodle is a chore chart app for kids and the whole family. Set a chore once: it takes turns, skips whoever isn’t home, and the kids check off their own. You stop being the reminder.

7 days free, no card. Works in your browser on iPhone, Android and desktop.

Set it once

A chore is a thing, a person and a rhythm: take out the recycling on Tuesdays, taking turns between the two kids. A planner sets it up in a few taps, or starts from a one-tap starter like Dishes after dinner.

Which chores suit which age?

A two-year-old can carry the napkins to the table; a thirteen-year-old can cook a dinner a week. Age-appropriate chores, from 2 to 13 and up, with a dinner job at every age.

Turns that stay fair

A rotation is set in advance, so anyone can see whose turn is next week, and a missed week doesn’t reshuffle it. The chores page shows who did how many over the last four weeks. Counts only: no ranks, no streaks, no badges.

Tied to dinner

Dishes after dinner only exist on nights there’s a dinner, due 45 minutes after it unless you change it. If it’s Noah’s turn and Noah’s out, it goes to the next person who’s in, and the calendar says so. How the calendar works.

Kids check off their own

A child with their own login sees their chores on Home and checks them off. Younger kids are profiles you manage, and you check off for them. A planner can check off anyone’s chore, and the household sees who did.

Swaps without the argument

Can’t do it tonight? Ask someone to trade. They say yes or no from their own phone. If you’d rather approve swaps yourself, turn that on.

One reminder a day

Whoever has a chore gets one message in the morning with what’s theirs that day, and nothing if it’s already done. A chore that slipped shows as “Yesterday” for a day. It never turns red.

No points, on purpose

There are no points, allowances or leaderboards. Chores are how a house runs, not a game, so Foodoodle keeps the turns and leaves the rewards to you.

Questions

Can kids use the chore chart?

Yes. A child with their own login checks off their own chores. Younger kids are profiles you manage, and you check off for them.

Do chores rotate?

Yes. Set a rotation once and each time the chore comes up, it’s the next person’s turn. Anyone can see whose turn is next.

Are there points or rewards?

No. There are no points, streaks or leaderboards. The chores page shows who did how many in the last four weeks, and that’s all.

Who can create chores?

Planners create and assign chores. Everyone checks off their own, and anyone can ask to swap.

Do kids need their own phone?

No. A planner can check off anyone’s chore from their own phone. A child with their own login can use any phone, tablet or computer, in the browser.
