Chore chart app for families
Paper charts are forgotten by day two. Orb Kin puts every chore on your children’s own home screen, with a due time, a photo when it’s done and points that fill their Golden Orb.
The chart goes up on the fridge, the stickers run out, and within a week you’re back to reminding, then nagging, then doing it yourself. Nobody can see the chart from their bedroom, and nobody notices when a job is done well.
Chores on the fridge, homework in the school app, plans in a group chat. Children can’t keep track, so “I didn’t know” becomes the answer to everything.
Pick from ready-made chores or write your own. Set who, how often and by when: daily, weekly or on a rota between siblings.
Each child gets a bright home with big tiles. Younger ones sign in with a PIN, teens with their own account.
A quick photo shows the job is done. You approve with a word of praise, or send it back with a note.
Approved chores earn points and fill the Golden Orb. Levels unlock rewards you chose, so effort always leads somewhere.
No more “I did it, honest”. A photo of the made bed or the empty dishwasher lands with you, and approving it takes one tap. Praise goes with it, so children hear about the good days, not only the slips.
Every child is different, so treat these as starting points. Start with two or three chores and add more once they become a habit.
| Age | Chore ideas |
|---|---|
| 3–5 | Put toys away, put dirty clothes in the basket, help feed a pet, help set the table |
| 6–8 | Make their bed, set and clear the table, water the plants, pair socks, tidy their room |
| 9–11 | Load or empty the dishwasher, hoover a room, pack their school bag, take the bins out, help make a simple meal |
| 12–14 | Do their own washing with help, cook a simple dinner once a week, clean the bathroom sink, walk the dog |
| 15+ | Plan and cook a family meal, do a food shop from a list, manage their own laundry, mow the lawn |
The best chore chart app is one your children will actually open. Orb Kin gives each child their own colourful home with their chores, due times and progress, lets them send a photo when a job is done, and rewards them through points and the Golden Orb. It is free to start.
Many families mix both: everyday chores are part of living together, and extra jobs earn points. In Orb Kin points go into a rewards shop you set up, so you decide whether rewards are pocket money, treats or time together.
Start small, with two or three chores suited to their age, and add more once they become a habit. The age table above gives ideas from 3 years old to teenagers.
