Chore Rotation Apps: 7 That Take Turns for You

A chore rotation app does the one job a paper chore wheel always fails at: remembering whose turn it is. Each app below rotates chores automatically, but they rotate differently, and the free plans vary more than you would expect.

Here is how each rotation works, what the free plan really covers, and where each one falls short, including ours.

Prices and features checked September 2026. Every claim links to its source; vendors change pricing, so confirm before you buy.

What to look for in a chore rotation app

  • How it rotates: on a schedule, or only when the current person finishes.
  • Who is in each rotation: everyone, or a roster you choose per chore.
  • What happens when someone is away or a chore is skipped.
  • Whether rotation is on the free plan, or only paid.

When to stay where you are

  • A paper chart on the fridge already works and nobody disputes it.
  • Every chore has a permanent owner, so there is nothing to rotate.
  • Only one person does the chores; rotation needs at least two.
