What happened to OurHome?
And what to use instead
The original OurHome chore app is no longer on Google Play or the App Store. If you are looking for a replacement, ChoreSplit is a free family chore app where you type chores in plain words and AI sets them up, and kids earn rewards you choose.
What happened to OurHome?
The original OurHome family chore app has been pulled from the app stores. Its Google Play listing now returns "not found", its App Store listing no longer appears in the US store, and its last recorded update was in 2022. The ourhomeapp.com website still loads, but there is no way to install the app on a new phone.
Two newer apps use the same name and are not the original:
- OurHome by Elusios: a household shopping-list and roommate app, first released in October 2025.
- OurHome: Family Planner: a shared family calendar and lists app, first released in September 2026.
App store status checked October 19, 2026.
What is the difference between ChoreSplit and OurHome?
OurHome was a free all-in-one family organizer: chores, shopping lists and a shared calendar in one app, with basic points on top. It is no longer listed on Google Play or the US App Store, and it had no AI features, no streaks, badges, leaderboards or multipliers, and virtual-only rewards. ChoreSplit is deliberately narrower (chores, projects, points and rewards) and is built around AI photo verification: the child submits a photo, the model reviews it against the chore, and only what falls below your confidence threshold reaches a parent.
OurHome
Family organizer / chore list app
Best for: Households that already have it installed and only need a shared list and a basic chore checklist. New installs are no longer possible.
ChoreSplit
Chore management app with AI photo verification
Best for: Households that want proof a chore was actually done, a motivation loop that keeps kids going, and an app that is still being worked on.

What does ChoreSplitdo that OurHome doesn't?
It verifies the chore instead of trusting the checkbox, and it adds the motivation layer OurHome never had: streaks, badges, leaderboards, multipliers and real-world rewards a parent sets and grants rather than virtual ones. It also supports kids who split time between two households, and it is still being developed.
How a chore gets marked done
OurHome: OurHome awards basic points when someone marks a chore complete. There is no verification step.
ChoreSplit: The child submits a photo, AI reviews it against what the chore asked for, and it auto-approves only above a confidence threshold the parent sets. Anything below it lands in the parent's queue with the photo and the AI's reasoning.
AI features
OurHome: OurHome does not offer AI photo verification, AI chore suggestions or AI project generation.
ChoreSplit: All three: verification, chore suggestions drafted from a plain-text description of your household, and a 5-12 task project plan generated from an event and its date.
Motivation layer
OurHome: Basic points, with no streaks, badges, leaderboards or multipliers, and rewards that stay virtual.
ChoreSplit: Points, streaks, achievement badges, family leaderboards and streak multipliers, with the points going toward real-world rewards a parent sets and grants.
Whether anyone is still working on it
OurHome: The original OurHome is no longer listed on Google Play or the US App Store, and its last recorded update was in 2022.
ChoreSplit: ChoreSplit is under active development, funded by a $9.99/month paid plan alongside its free tier rather than by nothing at all.
ChoreSplit vs OurHome: feature by feature
OurHome is free and includes shopping lists, which ChoreSplit deliberately doesn't. ChoreSplit carries every AI row, every gamification row beyond basic points, Google Calendar sync and multi-household support. Neither app issues a debit card or holds money.

Does ChoreSplit replace everything OurHome did?
No, and it isn't trying to. OurHome bundled shopping lists, meal planning, a shared calendar and chores into one free app. ChoreSplit covers chores, projects, points and rewards, syncs them to Google Calendar, and leaves lists and meal planning to apps built for those.
If the shopping list is the feature your household actually ran on, plan to keep a separate list app alongside ChoreSplit. What you get in exchange is the part OurHome never had: a photo the AI checks against the chore, and a parent above every AI decision.
How do I move off OurHome?
By recreating your chores, which runs about 15 minutes. AI chore suggestions will draft most of the list from a plain description of your household. If you use OurHome for shopping lists as well, pick a list app for that part before you delete it.

Should I use OurHome or ChoreSplit?
If OurHome is still on your phone and a shared list plus a basic checklist is all you need, it may keep working for now, but it cannot be reinstalled or set up on a new device. ChoreSplit is free for unlimited members and chores, and the $9.99/month plan adds points, streaks and AI photo verification: a photo the AI reads against the chore, with a parent above every AI call.
