Turn chores into a game with star rewards and celebrations
What you get
ChoreStars was built for exactly this.
The core features that make ChoreStars different from the generic alternatives.
The star moment
A full-screen reward animation with sound and haptics that makes a kid want to do the next chore — the part the app spends its care on.
Two-tap chore loop
Tap the chore card, tap the star. The daily loop is simple enough to become muscle memory by day three, even for a six-year-old.
Kid Mode and Parent Mode
One family device, two surfaces — a big-buttoned kid screen and a PIN-gated parent side for managing kids, chores, and sounds.
Stars, not money
Rewards are intrinsic stars rather than allowance or a debit card, so it works for kids who are too young for real money.
Age-based chore templates
Built-in starter chores by age get a family set up in under a minute instead of staring at a blank list.
iCloud Family sync
Stars and chores stay in step across a kid's iPad and a co-parent's iPhone through Family Sharing, with no separate account to create.
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Download once
Install ChoreStars from the App Store when the waitlist opens. No account setup — it works the moment you open it.
02
Use for ninety seconds a day
The product is designed so the useful thing takes less than two minutes. Anything longer and you stop. We know.
03
Notice what changes
Patterns surface after two to three weeks. The data is yours alone — no cloud, no report to anyone.
