Getting Started
Welcome to ChorifIQ — the smart family chore manager that schedules automatically, tracks progress, and keeps everyone accountable.
This section walks you through everything you need to get up and running.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”ChorifIQ has two core chore concepts: definitions and assignments. A definition is the chore template — its name, schedule, effort points, and rules. The scheduler reads your definitions and automatically generates assignments for each family member, balancing their goals, eligible chores, vacation days, and rotation order.
Members see their assignments on a daily dashboard, complete them with a tap, and earn points to climb the leaderboard. On-time completions build streaks; points feed the leaderboard. The manager oversees everything from a central dashboard and can adjust assignments, excuse chores, or quick-assign new ones as the day unfolds.
All of these features interact — a member’s per-day goal shapes what the scheduler assigns, vacation days pause the rotation without breaking streaks, and strict rotation defers chores rather than assigning them unfairly. To see how a typical week plays out, read A Week with ChorifIQ after you finish setting up.
