Family chore app
Chores that rotate themselves
OurNest keeps the family chore list next to the shared calendar, so the dishes, the bins and the dog walk sit in the same place as soccer practice and dentist appointments. Assign once, let it rotate, and everyone gets a reminder on their own phone.
What makes chores stick
Automatic rotation
Share a chore between two or more members and OurNest passes it to the next person each time it repeats — no arguments about whose turn it is.
Push reminders
Reminders arrive on iOS, Android and the web. Each person picks which categories notify them in Settings, so chore nudges never get lost in the noise.
Progress tracking
The dashboard shows what's done and what's still open for today, so you can see at a glance whether the week is on track.
Colour-coded members
Every family member gets a colour and an emoji, so kids can spot their own chores instantly on a shared screen.
