ChoresFirst

Stop asking twice.

They're scrolling, the chores are waiting, and you're about to say it again. Instead, make the list once. Their apps stay locked until the chores are done and you approve them.

Chores first. Then screens.

Sound familiar?

  • You ask about the dishes. Then you ask again. Then it's a fight.
  • Every time you take the phone away, you're the bad guy.

ChoresFirst flips it. The phone isn't taken away. It's earned.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    You add chores from your phone.

  2. Step 2

    Your kid gets a notification: their apps are locked until they send you a photo of the chore done.

  3. Step 3

    You approve. Their apps unlock.

Your kid isn't the product.

  • No name, age or email for your kid. You pick an emoji.
  • Chore photos are deleted once you've seen them, and never kept more than 7 days.
  • No ads. No tracking. We never sell your data or share it with advertisers.
  • See and delete everything we store, anytime, right in the app.

Questions parents ask

Can my kid get around it?

The lock uses Apple's own Screen Time controls, which you approve on your kid's iPhone with your Apple ID. Your kid can't remove it without you. Phone, Messages and Maps always keep working, so they can still reach you.

What about Android?

We're starting with iPhone: your phone and your kid's both need to be iPhones in the same Apple Family Sharing group. If your kid uses Android, tell us on the form. It helps us decide what to build next.

Is $9.99 per kid?

No. One plan covers every kid in the family and both parents.
