What Chorby solves

Tired of asking kids to do chores

The fight isn’t usually the chore — it’s being the reminder. Chorby puts the list where kids reopen it themselves, with reminders and a clear approve step, so the app asks before you have to.

The problem

Nagging isn’t laziness. It’s usually you holding the schedule in your head: who owes what, what’s overdue, whether anyone even looked at the list. Every “Did you take out the trash?” is another context switch while you’re cooking or packing bags.

Paper charts fade into the fridge. Vague family group texts get ignored. Either way, you become the notification. Low ratings on other chore apps often land here: parents still have to chase kids, so the tool never takes the mental load off.

What Chorby does

Chorby is built so kids open the app and see their own list — not a lecture from you:

  • Clear chore list per kid (or shared family view when you need it).
  • Reminders that nudge them toward the list instead of you repeating yourself.
  • When they finish, optional photo proof and your approval can close the loop on the tasks you choose — you’re reviewing work, not hunting whether they started.

You’re still the parent. The difference is you’re not the only system keeping the list alive. Browse a typical list on the chore list page, or start from the chore chart overview.

If one device sits in the kitchen, Chorby Hub is made for that shared-screen setup.

Who this is for

Families where chores aren’t the fight — the reminding is. Parents who want kids to check a list the way they check messages, not wait for a third verbal prompt.

Honest limit

No app replaces follow-through with little kids. Chorby reduces how often you have to ask; it doesn’t mean zero conversations.
