The family registry for chores & rewards
Chores,rewarded.
Offer a job. Agree the reward. Celebrate when it's done. Chorebel turns everyday chores into private, fair agreements — and everyday effort into lasting habits.
- Free to start
- Available on iPhone & Android
- No ads. No child email.
The problem
Nagging is a strategy. It's just not a good one.
Chores get negotiated out loud and forgotten by dinner. Who promised what? Was it actually done? Was the reward ever given? Every family has had that argument. Chorebel ends it — by writing the deal down, keeping it private, and making the encouraging part automatic.
Think of it as a registry
Every chore, on the registry.
Like a gift registry — in reverse. Parents list what needs doing and what it's worth. Kids choose what they'll take on and earn exactly what was promised. Every agreement is written down, time-stamped and private to the people in it.
- Nothing forgotten. The deal lives in the app, not in anyone’s memory.
- Nothing disputed. Terms, timestamps and approvals are all on the record.
- Nothing public. Only the people a chore was offered to can see it.

How it works
Four taps from “please” to “done.”
01
Offer it in under a minute.
Pick a suggestion or type it, choose who, choose the reward — most chores take three taps. Snap a photo or say it out loud if that’s quicker.
02
Only the right people see it.
Offer it to named people, or open it to a group where the first to claim it gets it. Nobody else — not even other adults — knows it exists.
03
They can counter. Once.
Kids can propose different terms — one time, privately. You accept or decline. Negotiation becomes a skill they practice, not a battle you fight every night.
04
Approve and pay.
They mark it done. You approve, the reward lands in their wallet instantly, and everyone gets a little celebration. Not quite right? Send it back — with a reason, every time.
The reward economy
A tiny economy. A big lesson.
Chores earn points in your household's own currency. Kids watch their balance grow, choose between rewards, save toward something bigger — and learn, one chore at a time, that effort has value.
Let them choose
12 StarsOR30 min screen time
Choice rewards let the doer pick before they accept. Having a say is one of the most reliable drivers of motivation.[8] First work, then play — the oldest trick in the book, now with a ledger.[12]
An honest ledger
- Clean the garage · approved by Mom+80
- Cash out · “$10 allowance”−100
- Take the bins to the curb · approved by Dad+20
Every point is earned through an approved chore, time-stamped and permanent. Turn points into allowance with Cash Out and a note — parents see it waiting to be paid and mark it paid. Chorebel never moves real money; points have no cash value.
The habit loop
- Work →
- Earn →
- Save →
- Choose.
By around age seven, kids can already grasp value — early money habits start at home.[15]
The science of yes
Encouragement beats punishment. The research is clear.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to move away from yelling, shaming and physical punishment toward positive, effective discipline.[1] Chorebel makes the encouraging path the easy one.
✓
Teaches what to do
Reinforcement strengthens the exact behavior you want to see — so it happens more often.
✓
Builds the relationship
Recognition and approval become the center of chores, not conflict and threats.
✓
Grows into habit
Paired with specific praise and faded over time, rewards become a bridge to self-motivation.

Discipline without drama
Structure kids can count on.
The things behavioral science says actually work — clear expectations, immediate recognition, specific feedback and consistency — are built into every chore.
Clear expectations
No more “you never said.”
Every chore carries a title, a reward, a reply-by and a finish-by. What was asked, what it's worth and when it's due are never up for debate.

Instant recognition
Approve, and the reward lands right away.
Reinforcement works best when it closely follows the behavior.[4]
Feedback, not fights
“Send it back” needs a reason.
“Leaves swept, but the bins weren’t emptied.” Specific, fixable, and never just “no.”
One counter-offer
Negotiation with a built-in ending.
Kids get a real voice — once. You decide. No haggling loops.
Deadlines that manage themselves
Stale offers expire. Overdue ones speak up.
No lingering to-do lists, no reminders to remember to remind.

Consistency on autopilot
Routines that show up on time.
Schedule the everyday stuff once. Pause it all for vacation with one switch.
Private by design
Private by design. Not by setting.
Most chore apps put the whole family on one public board. Chorebel treats every chore as a private agreement between the people in it — so siblings never compare deals, and adults can keep their own arrangements to themselves.
- Seen only by the people it’s for
- A chore is visible only to the people it was offered to — enforced by the database itself, not just hidden in the app. A special deal with one child never becomes a precedent for another.
- No email for kids
- A first name and a 4-digit PIN. You type their name and age range; they enter no personal information at all.
- Invites happen in person
- New members join by scanning a QR code on your screen. Codes work once and expire in 10 minutes.
- Nothing to sell
- No ads. No third-party analytics. Location data is stripped from every photo.
Who it's for
One app. Every kind of family.
Belong to as many households as life requires — and keep each one's chores, points and people exactly where they belong.
PRO With Pro or Ultra, every household gets its own colors — mascot included.
Two-parent homes
Share the load. Either adult can offer chores and approve the work — and offer chores to each other, privately.
Two homes, one kid
Mom’s house and Dad’s apartment each keep their own chores, points and currency. Kids switch with one tap.
Grandparents
Offer a grandchild a special job and a special reward — without seeing anything else in their household.
Teens
Real negotiation, an honest ledger, and allowance they can see themselves earning.
Young kids
A first name and a PIN. Big buttons, simple states, and zero personal data.
Just the grown-ups
Errands, favors and the car’s oil change — tracked between adults, invisible to the kids.

Questions
Good questions.
What is Chorebel?
Chorebel is a family app for chores and rewards. A parent offers a chore to specific people or a group, attaches a reward — points, something real like screen time, both, or a choice — and approves the work when it’s done. Every agreement is recorded privately, so nobody forgets what was promised.
Where can I download Chorebel?
Chorebel is available now on the Apple App Store for iPhone and the Google Play Store for Android. It’s free to download and free to start for your whole family!
Is Chorebel free?
Yes. The Free plan runs one household of up to 5 people with unlimited chores, points and rewards, Choice rewards, counter-offers and cash-outs — and you can join any number of other households. Pro ($1.99 a month or $14.99 a year) and Ultra ($3.99 a month or $29.99 a year) add auto routines (up to 7 on Pro, 15 on Ultra), custom colors, a family photo and room for more households and people.
Does Chorebel handle real money?
No. Points have no cash value and Chorebel never moves money. If your family converts points into allowance, record it with Cash Out — it deducts the points and keeps a note (like “$10 allowance”) in the ledger. Parents see it waiting to be paid and mark it paid, so everyone knows what was settled.
Does my child need an email or phone number?
No. A child needs only a first name and a 4-digit PIN. You type their name and age range when you invite them; they enter no personal information at all.
Can siblings see each other’s chores?
No. A chore is visible only to the people it was offered to. That’s enforced by the database itself, not just hidden in the app — so a special deal with one child never becomes a precedent or a source of envy for another.
Start free. Raise doers.
Chorebel is live now on the App Store and Google Play. Start free in under a minute, agree fair rewards, and watch everyday habits stick.
