Features
Everything the household needs to share the work.
HouseKing keeps one list for the household. The list shows who did what, how many points each member earned, and who leads the week.
- 01
One list for the whole household
Every member of the household sees the same tasks. Invite family members to join.
- 02
A colour for each member
Each member has a colour. A done task is struck through in the colour of the person who did it.
- 03
Tasks that repeat
A task repeats daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with an interval such as every two weeks. Completing it moves it to the next date.
- 04
Assigned or open
A task has no owner by default. Assign it to one member when that person should do it.
- 05
Points for every tier
Each task has a tier worth 5, 10, 20 or 50 points. The points go to the member who completed the task.
- 06
The weekly crown
The member with the most points this week wears the crown. The crown needs at least one point.
- 07
Streaks
A streak counts the days in a row with a completed task. Today counts, and so does yesterday while today has no completed task yet.
- 08
Hall of fame
Past weeks keep their champion. The hall of fame lists the top scorer of each completed week.
- 09
Day, week and month
The calendar shows the day, the week and the month. Past completions stay visible on their days.

Works offline on the phone
The phone app works without a connection and syncs to the same household when it can.
Point tiers
Every task has one tier. The tier sets the points that the completer earns.
| Tier | Points | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Quick & Easy | 5 | Under 5 minutes, with low effort. |
| Routine | 10 | 10 to 20 minutes, daily or weekly. |
| Heavy / Deep | 20 | 30 minutes or more, or a hard job. |
| Extra Mile | 50 | Seasonal or project work. |
The weekly crown
The leaderboard ranks the members by the points of the current week. The top member with at least one point wears the crown. The leaderboard also shows each member's total points and streak.
