WHY SMARTCHORES EXISTSBuilt for my two boys.
Built for my two boys.
Shared with your family.
Josh Dumoulin built SmartChores after the reminders and fridge charts weren’t sticking at home. His son Rocky helped dream up the idea of feeding a sidekick. When Nicole noticed Rocky making his bed without being asked, she encouraged Josh to share it with other families.

Is this just more screen time?
Kids use the app to check their tasks and progress. The quests are household chores, so completing them means putting the device down and doing the work.
