How it works

  1. Pick chores from the starter list or type your own.
  2. Add the name of everyone who helps out at home.
  3. Tap Spin to assign chores, spread evenly across people.

Every pick starts from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so each option has the same chance unless you set a weight. The pool behind this tool holds 98 starter chores. How the randomness works.

Ways to use it

Four roommates spin on Sunday so nobody gets stuck with the bathroom every week.

Kids and allowance

Parents spin chores each Saturday, and kids earn their allowance by finishing what they land on.

Summer camp cabin duties

A counselor spins sweeping, trash and table setting across the whole cabin.

Dorm floor kitchen

Floor mates assign who wipes counters and who empties the fridge on Friday.

Fair turns for siblings

No more arguments over dishes, the wheel spreads them out so each kid gets a turn.

Questions people ask

How does the chore wheel keep things fair?

It spreads chores evenly across the people you add, so nobody ends up with far more jobs than anyone else. Each spin still picks at random within that rule.

What chores can a five-year-old do?

Young kids can match socks, feed a pet with help, put toys in bins and set napkins on the table. Short, simple jobs work best.

Can I add chores that aren't on the starter list?

Yes. Type any chore, like watering the tomatoes or walking the dog, and it goes on the wheel with the rest.

How often should we spin?

Most homes spin weekly so chores rotate before anyone gets bored. Daily spins work for small jobs like dishes.
