Chores

Chores make everyday life predictable without anyone having to keep reminding. The Tasks area has five tabs: Today, Approvals, Chores, Rewards and Points.

Today

This is where today's chores are listed, per person.

• Tap a chore to tick it off. With Undo you take it back.
• Open for anyone marks chores that any person may take. Whoever gets there first has it.
• The streak shows on how many days in a row someone kept up, for example "🔥 3". A streak joker keeps the streak alive on a missed day, for example a sick day.

On the kitchen wall, a tap on Open today opens the same family chore board.

Approvals

Everything that someone needs to confirm lands here: finished chores that should be checked, and reward requests. Tap Approve or Decline.

Creating chores

In the Chores tab, tap New chore:

• Type: Duty is expected of everyone and earns few points. Bonus is optional and earns points.
• Points
• Repeat: once, daily, on weekdays, weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly
• Can be done: only on the due day, or for some days after it
• Who: One person (fixed), Taking turns, Whoever wants (open) or Everyone
• Approval by a grown-up: points come only after a check

A chore you no longer need can be archived. Its open future entries are then removed.

Start with the starter pack

The Chores tab offers a starter pack: five chores, three rewards and four badges to begin with. Everything can be changed afterwards.

Rewards

Each reward costs points. Stock limits the number; empty means unlimited.

• Needs approval first: when on, a guardian confirms the redemption with the PIN. When off, you redeem it yourself. That only suits small things.
• Anyone who wants a reward taps Ask for it.
• The History shows what is waiting, redeemed and already handed over. Mark a reward with Mark as handed over.

Points

The Points tab shows each person's balance and all movements: chores done, ticks taken back, rewards redeemed, corrections and badges. A correction is made with Correct, and it always needs a reason.

Why it is built this way

• Duties earn little. What everyone is expected to do should not be paid like work. The streak is their reward.
• No ranking. WuselWall does not set children against each other.
• Small rewards come early. One bonus chore is enough for the cheapest reward.
• A sick day does not wipe out a streak. That is what the streak jokers are for.
