Add who's in the household and which chores need doing, then generate a fair schedule that rotates everyone through every chore over time.
| Period |
|---|
| Add at least one person and one chore. |
Without a system, the same person always ends up doing dishes and the same person never touches the vacuum. A structured rotation makes chore-sharing visibly fair and easy to follow.
Every person moves through every chore over time instead of getting stuck with one.
More chores than people, or more people than chores — both work without errors.
Copy the schedule as plain text and print or paste it wherever your family checks it.
Each chore has a fixed position in your chore list. For every period, the person assigned to a given chore is found by adding that chore's position to the period number (plus a starting offset), then wrapping around the length of your people list — so the same chore is handled by a different person each period, cycling through everyone in turn. When there are more chores than people, this naturally gives some people more than one chore in a period, since several chore positions can map to the same person. When there are more people than chores, some people simply have no chore that period, since there are only enough chore slots to fill part of the list — both cases are handled without dividing by zero or crashing, and if either list is empty the tool shows a friendly reminder to add at least one person and one chore instead. The regenerate button re-rolls the starting offset used in that formula, shuffling who's linked to what without changing how balanced the long-run rotation is.
The person-to-chore link shifts by one position every period, wrapping around.
Handles more chores than people, or the reverse, without ever crashing.
Regenerate the starting offset any time for a fresh arrangement.
Each period, the tool shifts which person is linked to which chore by one step, wrapping around the list. Over enough periods every person cycles through every chore roughly evenly, rather than always getting the same one.
If there are more chores than people, some people are assigned more than one chore that period. If there are more people than chores, some people have no chore that period — both are handled automatically without errors.
Yes. The tool starts with common defaults like dishes, trash, vacuuming, laundry and kitchen wipe-down, but you can remove any of them and add your own at any time.
It re-rolls the starting rotation offset and rebuilds the schedule, so the same people and chores get shuffled into a different starting arrangement while staying just as fair.
Yes. The Copy schedule button copies a clean plain-text version of every period's assignments to your clipboard so you can paste it into a note, chat or printed page.
