Chore charts your kids can actually run
Routines, chores and check-off that live on the kitchen tablet you already own. A five-year-old sees a picture. A fifteen-year-old sees what they earned. Nobody has to buy a screen.

Up for Grabs
An unassigned pool anyone can claim. First tap wins, and nobody is nagged.
Most chore apps die in week three
The pattern is always the same. A parent sets up twenty-two chores on Sunday, the kids check off half of them, the board goes stale, and by week four nobody opens it. We built around that failure instead of around the setup screen.
- The empty state sells five chores, not a full week
- A warning when a child's day is getting crowded — advice, never a block
- Check-off is instant, so a kid never watches a spinner
- The board lives on a screen nobody closes, so it cannot be forgotten
No $300 screen required
The reason wall calendars sell is that a display in the kitchen cannot be closed. That is a distribution advantage, not a product one — and an old iPad on the counter does the same job. Homii's kitchen board turns any tablet into the family chart.
- Big type and 60px targets — read it from across the room
- A kid preset that puts the chore chart on the board beside meals and the day
- Household PIN so the board stays a board
- Works on the tablet in your drawer, not one you have to order
Every age, done properly
A chore chart for a four-year-old and a chore chart for a fifteen-year-old are different products. Most apps ship one and stretch it. We render the same list five ways.
- Little kids: one big picture, one huge button, no reading required
- Kids: their own list, stars, and a goal to work toward
- Tweens: stars and money, and a pool they can claim from to earn extra
- Teens: amounts, no progress bars, no streak flames, no cartoon
- Adults and roommates: the same list with progress and nothing else — no stars, no streak, no celebration
How it works
Step 1
Add a few
Pick who, pick when, and start with five. Routines repeat in a day-part; chores can be one-off or recurring.
Step 2
Hand it over
Put it on the kitchen tablet behind a household PIN, where a child taps their own row and no account is needed. This hand-off is the step that decides whether a chart survives the month.
Step 3
They tick, you stop nagging
Kids check off their own work. You get one evening summary instead of chasing four people all day.

Frequently asked questions
Is the chore chart really free?
Yes. Chores, routines, Up for Grabs, kid check-off and the kitchen board are free on every Homii plan, including the free one. Stars, rewards and the allowance ledger are part of Family Plus.
Do I need a wall display like a Skylight or Nori?
No. Homii's kitchen board runs on any tablet, phone or laptop you already have. A dedicated screen costs $180–400 before a subscription; this costs nothing and works in more than one room.
What ages does it work for?
Roughly three and up. Pre-readers get pictures and one big button; school-age kids get their own list and stars; teens get amounts with none of the cartoon. The same chart renders differently per child.
Can my kids have their own logins?
They can, and they do not have to. The free chart runs on the kitchen board, which needs no account at all. Kid accounts with parent-set permissions come with Family Plus, and Kid Mode — handing over a device in a locked session that shows only that child's chores — is Family Plus AI.
Does it handle allowance or pocket money?
Homii keeps a ledger of what has been earned and what has been paid out, and a parent marks payment. It is not a bank: no cards, no transfers, no account linking.
What if we already use it for meal planning?
Then chores land in the same app your dinner already lives in. That is the point — a chore like clearing the table knows which dinner it belongs to.
