How to get started

  1. Add your children

    Under More → My group, add a person without a login using a first name or nickname. This does not create a personal login account.

  2. Create a rotating routine

    Choose a recurring chore, such as walking the dog, and set the participants and turn order. Pick work suited to the child’s age and abilities.

  3. Make the turn visible

    See whose turn it is and complete the task for the right person, so the contribution is recorded under the correct name.

An agreement for your household

Example: Noor and Sam take turns walking the dog. You choose the participants, order and schedule; these names are fictional.

Use an iPad as a digital family chore board

Kitchen Display is part of Premium for your group. You can use it during an active free Premium trial. Afterwards, an active Premium subscription is required; the iPad itself is not included.

Turn “can you help?” into a clear agreement

Choose one small chore, practise together and agree what finished looks like. Your child knows what is expected without needing their own phone.

Put toys away

Choose a familiar moment, such as before dinner. Start with one box or corner.

Help clear the table

Agree on a small step the child can manage. Let children take turns if that suits your household.

Pack a bag

Decide together what belongs in it. The child does the task; check together if needed before marking it done.

See it together, finish it together

A parent adds the child by first name or nickname as a person without a login. The parent manages tasks on their phone. With a paired kitchen display, the child can also see what is ready. When checking off a task, check whose contribution is being recorded. Choose chores suited to the child’s abilities; these examples are not age guidelines.

Common questions

Can my child log in without an account?

No. A person without a login is a name in your group, not an independent account. Manage tasks through the app or the paired shared display.

Which chores should we start with?

Start small: helping clear the table or putting toys away. Choose what is safe and appropriate. Practising together and clear agreements matter more than lots of points.
