Chap

Chap is a chore-sharing and tracking app for households, including couples, roommates, and families, and it can also be used as a personal to-do list. Chores can recur daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or as one-time tasks. Members can receive assignments directly, or chores can rotate to the next person after completion. Reminders cover chores and overdue tasks, and notifications can nudge members. Chap records completion by chore and member, with statistics for weekly, monthly, bi-annual, and yearly periods. Filters, grouping, sorting, color organization, and a calendar view help arrange tasks; the app also includes points, dark mode, and preset routines. Household administrators can set rules and monitor progress. The free plan allows unlimited places and members. Chap Premium is listed at $3.33 a year, billed annually at $39.99, or $5.99 a month. The yearly plan limits analytics to one week and chore collections; the monthly plan includes full analytics and calendar features, nudging, dark mode, and ad removal. Chap supports Android, iOS, macOS, and web.

Chap combines chore assignments, reminders, progress tracking, and household organization. Its free tier allows unlimited members and places, while Premium plans differ in analytics and calendar features.

Chap suits couples, roommates, and families who want to share recurring household tasks. It can also serve as a personal to-do list.

Chap is a household chore manager for couples, roommates, families, and solo list-makers who want recurring tasks and shared accountability in one place. Its generous free allowance is a strong starting point; choose a paid tier only if its calendar, analytics, or notification extras match how your household works.

Overview

Chap handles both routine and one-off chores, with assignments that can stay with one person or pass to the next member after completion. That rotation is a practical way to share repeat work without manually reassigning every task. Reminders and overdue alerts help keep obligations visible, while administrators can set household rules and monitor progress.

It also offers preset routines, filters, grouping, sorting, color organization, points, and dark mode. The breadth suits households that want more structure than a bare checklist, though the tier split matters: analytics and calendar access vary by plan, and nudging is a Premium feature.

Key features

Schedules and shared responsibility

Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and one-time schedules cover recurring upkeep as well as occasional jobs. Direct assignments make ownership clear; rotation can spread recurring chores among members. Completion tracking and progress history provide a record of follow-through, useful when a household needs visibility rather than relying on memory.

Prompts and organization

Chore and overdue reminders address missed tasks, while member nudges add another prompt for households willing to use that notification feature. Filters and grouping help separate work, and color organization, points, and calendar view add ways to scan activity. Preset routines can shorten setup for households starting from scratch.

Privacy and support

Chap requires a nickname, email address, and password for account data; activity tracking for personalized ads is optional. The company says it does not sell data to third parties and uses it to improve the app and service. Its privacy policy says card details are not stored by Chap and payment processors follow PCI-DSS standards. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are named as possible account registration or login services. Support is available at [email protected].

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and allows unlimited places and members. That removes two common household-size constraints, making it a sensible way to organize a shared home or personal list without a subscription. The plan details do not include a chore cap, but they do not establish that every Premium feature is included.

Chap Premium (yearly) is $3.33 a year, billed annually at $39.99. It includes unlimited chores, members, and places, analytics up to one week, and chore collections with a limit. This is the lower-cost paid option for users who need unlimited task capacity, but its one-week analytics ceiling and limited collections make it a weaker fit for longer-term review or extensive organization.

Chap Premium (monthly) costs $5.99 a month and includes nudging, full analytics, full calendar, dark mode, and ad removal. It is better suited to households that want deeper progress reporting and calendar access, or specifically need nudging. The monthly price is higher than the annual plan's effective monthly rate, so choose it for those added features rather than assuming it is simply a more flexible version of the same package.

Platforms

Chap supports Android, iOS, and macOS, and is also available on the web. That range can accommodate households using different device types, including members who prefer a browser.

Who it's for

Chap is a good fit for couples, roommates, and families that want recurring chores assigned or rotated, with reminders and a visible completion record. Solo users can use it as a personal to-do list. Households that need unlimited members and places without paying have a particularly clear reason to start with Free; those that depend on full calendar or analytics features should compare the Premium tiers first.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Free includes unlimited places and members, so household size does not force an upgrade.
• Pro: Five schedule types plus direct or rotating assignments cover varied routines and shared responsibility.
• Pro: Completion history, reminders, and admin controls make household progress easier to oversee.
• Con: The annual Premium tier limits analytics to one week and chore collections, which may frustrate users who need broader review or organization.
• Con: Full analytics, full calendar, nudging, dark mode, and ad removal sit in the monthly Premium feature list, so users wanting those additions face the $5.99 a month price.

Verdict

Choose Chap if your household wants flexible recurring chores, assignment rotation, and progress tracking without a free-plan limit on members or places. Its main advantage is combining shared accountability with broad household capacity; look elsewhere if you need full analytics and calendar features without moving to Premium, or if the annual plan's analytics and collections limits are too restrictive.
