About Rooted Family Chores
Chores your kids actually finish. They earn points for real work, you approve it, and they save toward rewards you choose — no debit card, no bank account, no real money involved. NEW: FAMILY QUESTS Set one goal the whole household works toward together. Everyone gets a role, everyone sees the progress move, and everyone celebrates when it lands. It's the part of chores that stops feeling like a chart and starts feeling like a team. HOW IT WORKS • You create a chore — one-time or recurring, with a point value • Your child sees it on their board and marks it done • You approve it, or send it back with a note • Points land the moment you approve • They spend points in your family's reward shop, or save toward a goal MADE THEIRS, NOT YOURS Every child gets their own board showing only their chores, their own illustrated avatar, and their own colour theme. Chores arrive as quests, with XP, levels, badges and streaks. Got an older kid who would rather skip the fantasy? Turn off quest-style chore descriptions and the same chore reads plainly, without losing the points, goals or streaks. FOR PARENTS • Recurring chores: daily, weekly, or a custom schedule • Assign to one child, or make a chore claimable by whoever gets there first • Approve it, or send it back with a note explaining why • Every point is a ledger entry, so you can see exactly where each one came from • Manual adjustments for when real life happens • Add up to two more adults — a second parent, a grandparent or a caregiver • A weekly summary of what actually got done FOR KIDS • A board that only shows what's theirs • Illustrated avatars to choose from • Streaks and badges for showing up • A wishlist — they add what they want, you approve it before it counts • Savings goals with visible progress • A journal of everything they've earned BUILT FOR HOW FAMILIES ACTUALLY LIVE • Shared tablet? Kids switch profiles with a PIN, and siblings hand off in a tap. • Phone or tablet, portrait or landscape. • Per-child colour themes and full dark mode. • Predictable lists and routines, for kids who do better with structure. WHAT ROOTED IS NOT No debit card. No bank account. No investing. No money moves through Rooted and kids can never buy anything. You approve every reward and you hand it over yourself. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED No limited free tier, no locked features, no upsells inside the app. One subscription covers your household — the adults, the kids, every feature, on every device. Try it free for 7 days. If it hasn't changed anything by then, cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged. SUBSCRIPTION Rooted is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the full app for your entire household, offered monthly or annually. Prices are listed under In-App Purchases on this page in your local currency, and shown again in the app before you subscribe. New subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, once the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase.

What’s new
Version 1.3.1 · Updated August 27, 2026
**Rooted Chores on the big screen** Chores now fits the device it's on — a tablet in the kitchen, a tablet that belongs to one kid, or a spare tablet on the wall. **Turn a spare tablet into the family's chore wall.** Set it up once and it stops being an app: a column for each child in their own colour, big enough to read across the room, and a kid can tap their chore done on the way past. Unclaimed chores are right there to be picked up, and the wall sleeps overnight on its own. **Give a kid their own tablet.** It opens in their colors, shows only their board, and stops asking for a PIN every time they pick it up — while still asking before they spend their gold. Sharing one tablet between kids works too: hand it over and switch without leaving the board. **See the whole week.** On a tablet, the chores screen now opens on the week your household actually runs — who's doing what, on which day, like the chart on the fridge. Drag a chore from one day to another. Review a chore beside the week instead of on top of it. Also in this release: • See every device your kids have signed in on, and remove a lost one from your phone • Kids browse the reward vault and chore ideas as a grid instead of a long list • Everything is sized for how far away you're reading it, from a phone to a wall panel • Fixed a tablet getting stuck in portrait on the subscription screen • Fixed several screens that couldn't scroll on smaller tablets
