A chore chart maker for families and shared households that turns the weekly scramble of “whose turn is it?” into a clear, gamified grid. Add each child or housemate, list the chores, decide how many points each job is worth, then tick things off through the week. The tool keeps a running leaderboard, shows how close everyone is to their weekly goal, and lets you archive each week so you can look back at who did what. It is designed for parents building a kids’ reward chart, flatmates splitting cleaning fairly, or anyone who wants household responsibilities visible in one place instead of nagging.
How it works
Everything centres on a simple grid: people down the side, the seven days of the week across the top, and a checkbox in every cell. You start by adding the people who will be doing chores — each one gets a colour so their column and leaderboard bar are easy to spot. Then you add chores, giving each a point value: a quick job like making the bed might be worth 1 point, while taking out the bins could be worth 3. For each person you click into the grid to assign which days a chore applies — daily, weekdays only, or just a couple of days such as bin night.
During the week, ticking a cell marks that chore done and instantly adds its points to that person’s total. The goal bar turns green once someone hits the weekly points target you set, and the leaderboard re-sorts so the household can see who is ahead. A handy “Done for today” button ticks off everything assigned to the selected person for the current day in one tap. When the week ends you choose to archive and reset — saving the week’s scores to a rolling history log — or simply clear the ticks. Because the chart never resets automatically, you never lose a week’s progress by accident. The whole thing saves to your browser as you go and can be exported to CSV for printing or record keeping.
Example
Imagine two children, Alex and Sam. Bed-making is worth 1 point every day, clearing the table is 2 points, and bins are 3 points on Mondays and Thursdays. By Friday, Alex has ticked the bed every day (5), homework on four weekdays (8) and both bin nights (6) for a total of 19 points — clearing the 15-point weekly goal, so the goal bar is green and a trophy appears next to Alex’s name on the leaderboard. Sam, who missed two days of clearing the table, sits at 12 points. At the weekend a parent presses Archive & reset: both scores drop into the “Past weeks” log (Alex 19, Sam 12, winner Alex) and Monday begins with a clean chart. A quick CSV export goes on the fridge so the week’s effort is on show.
Every name, chore and tick stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
