About the invention
Chorez is a family productivity app designed to help kids complete chores on time by connecting chore management with screen time. Instead of repeatedly reminding children to do their chores, Chorez uses smart notifications, parental controls, and photo verification to encourage responsibility and accountability. HOW IT WORKS 1. Parent creates a chore with a name, due time, estimated duration, and optional photo verification. 2. Smart reminders fire before the chore is due. 3. Chorez calculates when the child must start to finish on time. 4. If the child waits too long, Chorez activates screen-time restrictions through Apple Screen Time / Android Parental Controls. 5. Child submits a photo or marks the chore complete; parent reviews and approves. KEY FEATURES • Smart chore scheduling • Android & Apple Screen Time integration • Photo proof verification • Parent dashboard • Reward points, daily streaks, family leaderboards • Multiple child profiles and weekly progress reports FUTURE AI chore verification, sibling competitions, allowance tracking, school reminders, household reward store. MISSION Help families spend less time reminding and more time succeeding by turning everyday chores into positive habits.
The spark · where the idea came from
“Taj would get caught up on his phone and forget to do his chores at the right time. He wanted a way to stay on track, finish what he needed to do, and avoid getting in trouble. That is how the idea for Chorez began: do your chores, then unlock your phone.”
