Do your chores.

The deal

Laundry pays.

Every chore is worth something. Harder work is worth more. Coins buy food, and food is the only thing that grows the shark.

Today

What’s due. Nothing else.

Four lanes, and only the work that has come round. Everything else stays out of sight until it matters.

  • Habits, dailies, to-dos and anything missed, each on its own lane.
  • Tick it off from the card. No detail screen in the way.
  • Can’t pick one? The dice will.

How Today works

The ChoreShark Today screen showing the Dailies lane: water the plants, dishes away, clean the kitchen floor and wipe the counters, each with the coins it earns.
The Pick one for me sheet, rolling between four due dailies with Roll again and Chomp it buttons.
The dice picks when you can’t.

Adaptive schedule

Weekly not working?

Most chore apps answer a missed task with a red badge and a guilt trip. This one changes the schedule instead.

  1. Miss 1

    Every week

    Nothing happens. Weeks go like that.

  2. Miss 2

    Every week

    Still nothing. It’s not keeping score against you.

  3. Miss 3

    Every 2 weeks

    The task moves to a cadence you can actually keep, and tells you it did.

  4. 3 on time

    Every week

    Hit the roomier one three times running and the original comes back.

It happens per task, not to your whole list, and it always says what changed in plain words. The full rules.

Aquarium

Seven sharks to grow into.

Levels 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 25 open the species below, in order. Each one still costs coins to add to the tank, or diamonds to unlock early. You start with a prickly dogfish, which is a real shark and not a flattering one.

  7. Great whiteLevel 25 · 🪙 500 or skip 💎 250

Feeding is always your choice. Nothing starves while you’re away, and missing a chore never hurts the shark.

Inside the tank

Chore types

The part that isn’t a game.

Water, gym, reading. Habits check in as often as you like, count up or down, and hold a streak that survives a bad week.

Habits, dailies, to-dos

Household

Share it, or don’t.

Make a household, hand out an invite code, assign work between you. Solo is the default and nothing nags you to invite anyone.

How sharing works

Add one chore.

That’s the onboarding.
