Do I need to create an account?
No! ChoreDash is completely account-free. All your data is stored locally in your browser, giving you complete privacy and control. You can use all features without signing up for anything.
How do I print my chore charts?
Once you've created a chart, use the "Download PDF" button to export it in a print-optimized format. The PDF is sized for standard 8.5x11" paper and looks great on your refrigerator!
Can I share my charts with others?
Yes! Every chart you create gets a unique shareable URL. Anyone with the link can view your exact chart setup and customize it for their own family. Perfect for sharing successful systems with friends or co-parents.
What age groups are the tasks designed for?
Our task library includes age-appropriate chores for toddlers (2-4), preschoolers (5-6), school-age children (7-11), tweens (12-14), teens (15-18), and adults. Each task includes developmental benefits and time estimates.
Will my data be lost if I clear my browser?
Data is stored in your browser's IndexedDB, which persists through regular browsing. However, if you clear your browser data or use incognito mode, your charts won't be saved. We recommend exporting important charts as PDFs for backup.
Can I use ChoreDash on my phone?
Absolutely! ChoreDash is fully responsive and works great on phones, tablets, and computers. The digital dashboard is especially convenient on tablets mounted in your kitchen.
Is ChoreDash really free?
Yes! All features are completely free. No subscriptions, no premium tiers, no credit card required. We believe every family should have access to good organizational tools.
Can I customize the tasks?
Yes! While we provide 200+ pre-loaded tasks, you can customize any chart with your own family-specific tasks, adjust schedules, and modify assignments as needed.
Does ChoreDash work offline?
Once you've loaded the site, core features work offline thanks to browser caching. Your saved charts and dashboard remain accessible without an internet connection.
How do rewards work?
You set up your own reward system! Define point values for tasks and set reward tiers (e.g., 25 points = movie night, 100 points = special outing). The system tracks progress automatically, but you control what the rewards actually are.
Is this professional advice?
Disclaimer: ChoreDash provides general household management suggestions and is not professional parenting, child development, or household management advice. All task recommendations and age guidelines are provided as-is for informational purposes. Always use your own judgment and consider your family's unique needs, abilities, and safety requirements when assigning chores.
