ChoreTrack

ChoreTrack is a family chore app where children check off assigned tasks, earn points, and exchange them for rewards their parents choose. Families set the point cost of each prize, so children can see what they are saving toward. Gold-star check-offs, streaks, and medals provide ways to mark progress. On a shared device, each child can use a PIN view to see their own chores, points, and prizes without creating an account. Parents can require approval for completed chores, using a parent PIN on the shared device or a tap on their own phone. Weekly report cards summarize chores, points, streaks, and prizes, and can be shared as PDFs. ChoreTrack is available for Android and iOS; its maker says it works for children roughly ages 4–14. The free plan includes two children, ten chores, one shared device, seven days of activity history, and CSV export. ChoreTrack Plus costs $5 a month or $50 a year per family, with a 30-day trial. Plus adds unlimited kids, chores, and prizes, phone sync, approval notifications, PDF reports, and full activity history.

ChoreTrack combines chore tracking with parent-defined rewards and approval controls. The free tier covers a small household, while Plus adds broader limits, phone sync, notifications, reports, and full activity history.

ChoreTrack suits families who want children roughly ages 4–14 to track chores and work toward parent-selected prizes. The free plan is limited to two children and ten chores; larger households may need Plus.

ChoreTrack is a family chore app built around child check-offs, points and parent-selected rewards. It suits households with children about 4–14, particularly those sharing a device or needing parent approval. The reward mechanics are well considered, but the free tier is tightly capped for larger families.

Overview

Children complete assigned chores, collect points and earn gold-star check-offs. Streaks and medals provide visible milestones, which can help turn repetitive jobs into an ongoing routine rather than a one-time list.

Parents create a prize shelf and set the point cost for each reward. Children can see what they are saving toward, giving points a concrete purpose. The system works best when parents are prepared to maintain sensible chores and prizes; the app does not decide those household rules for you.

Kid mode provides each child with a PIN view of their chores, points and prizes on a shared family device, without requiring an account. Parents can require approval for check-offs through a parent PIN on that device or a one-tap approval on their own phone.

Key features

Routine and progress

Recurring chores, assignment tools and completion tracking cover the core weekly workflow. Progress history, streaks and medals make improvement visible, while weekly report cards gather completed chores, points, streaks and prizes into a shareable PDF.

Privacy and control

The app has no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. Family data remains on the device unless sync is enabled, and chores, points and prizes can be exported to CSV on every plan. With Plus phone sync, household data is encrypted on the device using XChaCha20-Poly1305 and a key derived from the household code; the server stores ciphertext on AWS in the USA. An optional recovery email is stored with that code to support recovery. Apple App Store or Google Play handle subscriptions, with RevenueCat validating them through an anonymous identifier.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes two kids, 10 chores, one shared family device, seven days of activity history and CSV export. It is a practical way to trial the points-and-prizes routine, but the child and chore ceilings will constrain a bigger household, and there is no phone sync or extended history.

ChoreTrack Plus costs $5 a month, billed per family, or $50 a year, also billed per family. Both paid options include unlimited kids, chores and prizes, sync to every parent’s phone, parent approval notifications, weekly PDF report cards and full activity history. Each includes a 30-day free trial. The annual plan lowers the effective monthly cost for families already committed to using the service; the monthly plan avoids that longer commitment.

Platforms

ChoreTrack is available on Android and iOS. The shared-device PIN mode is useful where children do not each have a phone, while Plus phone sync is aimed at households where multiple parents need approval access.

Who it's for

This is a strong match for families wanting explicit rewards, progress milestones and parent sign-off for chores. It also fits privacy-conscious households that prefer no accounts and local storage by default. Families with more than two children, more than 10 active chores or a need for several days of history should plan on Plus. It is less suitable if you want a broad household-management platform rather than a child-centered incentive system.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Parent-defined prizes make points meaningful; PIN-based kid mode works without child accounts; approval can happen on a shared device or a parent’s phone; PDF reports and CSV export support sharing and record keeping; no ads, analytics or tracking.
• Cons: Free is limited to two kids, 10 chores, one device and seven days of history; phone sync, notifications, reports and full history require a subscription; the reward system requires ongoing parent setup; synced data is held as ciphertext on AWS in the USA.

Chorish suits iOS-only households wanting a one-time Plus unlock rather than a subscription. DooCoins is another Android and iOS freemium option for families comparing child-reward systems. Family Fair Play is worth considering for Android, iOS and web access, with a free tier for 20 tasks and four household members.

Verdict

Choose ChoreTrack if you want children to work toward parent-defined prizes with optional approval and clear progress signals. Its privacy-forward, account-free design and shared-device mode are compelling. Look elsewhere if your household exceeds the free limits, needs a web or desktop app, or wants a more general task manager than a reward-led chore system.
