Just launched · FREE forever
The list your kids open by themselves.
Chores become points, and points become ice cream, PlayStation time or Friday pizza night. A child sees how far they are from their reward and how much the others have banked — so they check without being asked. Less nagging. More together.

Why families can start today without worrying
- Free forever The core app costs nothing — no trial clock, no card, no ads.
- Nobody signs up No accounts, no passwords, no email — not even for the grown-ups.
- One device or one each Own phones, or one tablet on the fridge door. Same app.
- Made by two parents Built for our own kitchen first, because the paper chart failed.
Three tabs, that's it
Small enough that a seven-year-old gets it
Claim a chore or finish your own. You price the list, so a bathroom is worth more than a bed.
You write the shelf and the prices. Kids see what's in reach and what's worth saving for.
Shared goals, a leaderboard nobody can argue with, and Year in Review waiting in the archive.
How it works
Set it up on a Sunday. Forget about it by Wednesday.
-
Step 1: Add the family
As many kids and grown-ups as you have — there is no cap. Each person joins from their own phone with the family code, or you share one device: a tablet on the fridge door works exactly the same.
-
Step 2: Price the chores
Make Bed is 5 points, Take Out Trash is 7. Daily or weekly, assigned to one person or open to anyone.
-
Step 3: Agree on the payoff
Fill the reward shelf and line up the family goals — everyone’s points go into the active one. The countdown to pizza night is what makes them come back.
Why it sticks
Built for the family, not the spreadsheet
Every feature is here because the paper chart on our own fridge stopped working by week two.
-
Shared goals beat gold stars
Family goals pool everyone's points into one active reward at a time, with the next waiting in the queue, so the youngest and the teenager are on the same side.
-
A nudge that isn’t you
One daily reminder goes to the phones that asked for one, so the list does the asking. On a shared tablet nobody is named.
-
Photo proof
Ask for a picture on the chores you would otherwise go and inspect. It ends the "I did do it" argument in one tap.
-
Streaks and badges
Daily streaks and earned badges sit right on the leaderboard — small stakes, checked constantly.
-
One device, or one each
Everyone can join from their own phone with the family code — or run the whole family from a single tablet on the fridge.
-
Your own reward shelf
Screen time, treats, outings, toys — categories you control. Nothing to buy inside the app.
-
Year in Review
A keepable recap of the year — who did what, the photos included. In the archive from day one, for everyone.
-
Morning, afternoon, evening
Give a chore a part of the day and today's list groups itself under three headers. The bins stop competing with brushing teeth for attention.
-
Text as big as it needs to be
Everyone picks their own text size and it follows them to every device they use. On iPhone and iPad the app starts from the size already set in Settings.
-
Works with no signal
Tap I did it in the car park and it counts. Anything done offline waits on the device and syncs when the signal comes back — nothing lost, nothing counted twice.
Nothing disappears
Every point can be traced back to the chore that earned it
Tap any balance and you get the whole record: the chore, the helper's share, the streak bonus, the reward it was spent on, the refund when a request was turned down. No parent has to remember what they approved, and no child has to take the number on faith.
Why we built it
FridgeDoor's goal is not to get chores done. It's to give families a reason to spend time together — to celebrate ordinary moments, to laugh about the week, to feel like a team.
Chores are the mechanism. Connection is the mission.
Free forever — not free for now
The core app costs nothing and keeps costing nothing. Premium extras will arrive later, but nothing you use today moves behind a paywall.
- Unlimited family members
- Unlimited chores and rewards
- Family goals, streaks and badges
- Year in Review, always included
One limit: photo proofs are kept for your most recent 100 photos. Older ones roll off — the chore, who did it and its points stay.
Questions parents ask first
Does it remind them, or is that still my job?
The app can send one daily reminder to whoever wants one — each phone decides for itself, and a shared tablet gets the family’s list without naming anyone. If nobody turns it on, nothing is ever sent.
Does every kid need their own phone?
No. Each person can join from their own device with the family code, or the whole family can share one — a tablet on the fridge door works exactly the same, and you switch profiles with a tap.
Can the kids see where their points went?
Yes — tapping a balance opens the full record: every chore, helper’s share, streak bonus, reward and refund, with the date and time. It settles the "I had more than that" conversation without anyone having to remember. Every point can be traced →
What happens if a chore doesn’t get done?
You choose per chore. It can simply be marked missed, or carry over to the next day — and a carried-over chore is worth less, marked From yesterday at its reduced price, so doing it late still counts but doing it on time is worth more. How carry-over pricing works →
Do parents earn points too?
If you want them to. A grown-up can take chores from the same list, and their points feed the shared family goal instead of a personal reward shelf — so nobody is cashing in their own points for ice cream while asking the kids to save. The two grown-up switches →
Do we need accounts or email addresses?
No. Nobody signs up — there is no account, no password and no email login, for the children or the grown-ups. You create a family, everyone joins with its six-digit code, and that code is the only key: write it down, because there is no email reset.
Can the kids change the rules?
Not if you set a parent PIN. Settings, chores, point values and rewards sit behind four digits, so the list stays yours. Forgotten the PIN? Reset it with your family code.
What if I forget the parent PIN?
Reset it with your family code — the six characters the app shows when you create the family. Save it the moment you see it: there are no accounts and no password emails, so the code is the only way back in. One tap saves it as a file or a picture.
