Chore Manager

Most families don't remember their chores and responsibilities, so we wanted to make an app to track and manage all chores that need to be done to improve household efficiency.

Inspiration

In my family, I have to do most of the chores, so I wanted to create an app that will make the division of labor fairer.

What it does

It allows the user to add and manage chores and assign chores to specific users. It also gives a deadline for the chore.

How we built it

We built it natively using Swift on Xcode and Java on Android Studio

Challenges we ran into

On Xcode, we tried to get the Calendar GUI to be displayed, but there aren't many good APIs available for the version of Swift we were using, so we have to make it from scratch.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we managed to add some basic functionality to our app within around 20 hours.

What we learned

We learned how to implement scheduling tasks on iOS and core data functionality on Android Studio.

What's next for Chore Manager

  • We plan to work more on persistent data for our Android Version of our app. We also plan to add it so multiple users can be on one app to represent a family and each member can see their own respective chores for the week. We also plan to have a feature that allows the admin to randomize chores. Eventually we want to add some sort of reward system so that the family can keep track of allowances/"rewards" on a leaderboard.
