Xtra Hands: Family Chore App

Less reminding. More parenting. Chores rotate between siblings. A real allowance ledger with carryover and payouts. Works on a shared tablet or everyone's phones.

Less reminding. More parenting.

Xtra Hands runs your household's chores and allowance — on a shared tablet, personal phones, or no device at all. Reminders fire on each person's schedule. Turns rotate fairly across the household. The chores that matter carry forward; the ones that don't, expire. A real ledger keeps the numbers honest.

A REAL LEDGER, NOT A STICKER CHART

Chores can earn money — set a value per chore, or leave it off. Parents can post expenses on top. Balances stay honest: they go up, down, and zero. Real allowance, real numbers.

We're not a card. We're a chore-and-allowance ledger that runs alongside however your household already handles cash.

Built by a parent of three. Used in our own house before yours. The features it doesn't have are ones we tried, didn't help, and removed.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Reminders that aren't yours. Push notifications go to the person responsible for each chore, on their schedule. You stop repeating yourself. They stop tuning you out.

Where do things stand? The parent overview puts today's chores, who's done what, and every balance on one screen. Caught up before you've put down your keys.

Fair turns, no arguments. Daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly rotation across the household. "Whose turn is it?" has an answer before anyone asks.

Missed it? Another chance. Mowing the lawn shouldn't expire overnight. Turn on carry-over per chore and it rolls forward until it's done. Dishes don't need it.

One tablet, six phones, or none. A shared household tablet with quick PIN switching, personal phones, or no device at all — parents can still check chores off for anyone without a device.

Away? The app knows. Mark someone as away and their chores simply don't happen. No guilt trip, no catch-up queue waiting when they get home.

DEEPER SETUP ON THE WEB

Sign up in the app. Deeper household setup (chore packs, custom rotations, ledger exports) lives at xtrahands.app and pairs with a 6-digit code from your household settings. The app is the daily surface where chores get tapped done.

WHAT XTRA HANDS DOESN'T DO

No coins, gems, or rewards-store gimmicks. No leaderboards, no streaks, no badges, no pet-feeding meta-game. No marketing emails to your household. No selling your household's data. No ads.
