How do I create a home?

Creating your first home

Tap Start a New Home. You’ll go through three quick steps:

1. Create home screen

  • Home name — e.g. “Smith Family” or “Team Awesome”.
  • Your name (owner) — so everyone knows who’s in charge.
  • Automatic Daily Reset — turn on if you want chore completions to reset each day; choose Daily or Weekly.
  • Tap Continue to Add Members → when you’re done.

Already have a Chorish export? Use Import Home and pick the file instead.

2. Add members screen

  • Add up to 5 more members (family, flatmates, whoever).
  • Type a name and tap + Add Member for each. You’ll see “X of 6 members” as you go.
  • When you’re ready, tap All Set - Let’s Go! →.

3. All set screen

  • You’ll see “You Did It!” and “Your home is ready for action!”
  • Tap Go to Your Home to open your dashboard.
  • Need to change something? Use Start over to go back.

4. Dashboard

You’re in. From here you can add chores, see progress, and let everyone tap when they’ve done a task.


Multiple homes — You can have more than one (e.g. family, roommates). Switch between them from the Chore Command Centre. All data stays on your iPad.
