RiwardzChores that connect to something a kid actually cares about
Riwardz turns chores into weighted tasks — dishes aren't worth the same as vacuuming the whole house — and every one completed counts toward real, visible progress.
Why "just do your chores" doesn't work on its own
Chores fail for a boring, structural reason: there's usually no record. A kid did the dishes Tuesday and Thursday, forgot Wednesday, and by Saturday nobody — including the kid — remembers the actual pattern. Without a record, "you never help around here" and "I always do my chores" are both technically defensible, and neither is useful.
A chore reward app fixes the structural problem, not the motivation problem: it keeps the record for you, weights chores by what they're actually worth, and turns a completed chore into something concrete instead of a mental tally nobody trusts.
How chores work in Riwardz
Chores are tasks — the same task system used for homework or morning routines — assigned per child, with a star value from 1 to 5 that reflects effort. Loading the dishwasher and cleaning out the garage shouldn't earn the same, so you set the weight per chore, per kid, once. Chores can repeat on a schedule (daily, specific weekdays) so a standing responsibility like "take the bins out" doesn't need re-adding every week.
Every completed chore adds its weighted stars to that child's total, which is the same total their rewards draw from — so a chore isn't a separate system from the reward app, it's one of the ways stars get earned. Multiple kids' chores show up in one family view, so you can see who's actually pulling their weight this week without asking around.
Assign → Complete → Stars → Reward
Built for how chores actually get split up
Weighted by effort
A quick chore and a big one aren't worth the same star value — you set the weight per chore.
Recurring assignments
Standing chores repeat on the days you choose, without re-adding them every week.
Parent visibility
See every child's completed and pending chores for the week in one screen.
Split fairly across kids
Assign different chores and weights to each child based on age and ability.
Direct line to rewards
Chore stars aren't separate — they add to the same total that funds wishlist rewards.
Streak tracking
Recurring chores build a streak the same way any habit does, so consistency is visible.
What this looks like across a family
A 6-year-old gets "put toys away" at 1 star; a 12-year-old gets "vacuum the living room" at 4 — both fair for their age, both counted the same way.
"Take bins out on Tuesdays" is set once as a recurring task and never needs re-adding — it just shows up every Tuesday.
Instead of an argument, a parent checks the family view — completed chores and stars per kid for the week, no guessing.
What parents ask before starting
Can I assign different chores to each child?
Yes — every task, including chores, is assigned per child with its own star weight, so siblings of different ages can have entirely different chore lists.
Do chores have to repeat every day?
No — you choose which days a chore repeats, so a daily responsibility and a once-a-week one can both be set up correctly from the start.
How is a chore different from a regular task?
It isn't, technically — chores use the same weighted task system as homework or routines. "Chore" is just how you'll usually think of the ones tied to household responsibility.
Can I see which kid is falling behind on chores?
Yes — the family view shows completed and pending tasks per child for the current week, so an imbalance is visible rather than assumed.
Do chore stars work the same as reward stars?
Yes — a chore's stars add to the same total used for wishlist rewards. There's no separate "chore currency" to manage.
One system for chores, routines and rewards
Chores, routines and rewards live in one system, not three apps you're trying to keep in sync.
Your family's chore history isn't shared, compared, or made public anywhere.
Who did what, and when, is kept automatically — no more relying on memory.
