Pickachore
Stop choosing chores. Spin, accept, get it done.
You know what needs doing. The problem is standing in the kitchen deciding which of eleven things to do first, then doing none of them. Pickachore decides for you: add your chores once, spin the wheel every day, and it lands on exactly one. Accept it and get a timer plus a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. Don't fancy it? Re-roll, twice a day free, unlimited on Pro. Categories, swipe to finish, stats and streaks. No account, no ads, no trackers. Your chores live on your iPhone and nowhere else.
Hi Product Hunt. I'm Emils, and I built Pickachore, it was a chore to build, for two years, multiple iterations on design and features.
The problem it solves is small and I had it every day: I knew what needed doing around the flat, I'd stand there deciding which of eleven things to start with, and then I'd do none of them. A list of twelve chores is twelve decisions. One chore is not a decision.
So Pickachore does the deciding. You add chores once, with a category and a rough time, and every day you spin a wheel. It lands on one, and that's your chore for the day. Accept it and you get a timer and a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so it stays one glance away. Don't fancy it? Re-roll, and that chore comes off today's wheel and another takes its place.
Two things worth knowing:
- The re-roll allowance is small on purpose: two a day. If you could re-roll forever you'd spin until you found the easiest job and the wheel would be theatre. Pro removes the cap, and that is the only thing Pro does.
- Nothing leaves your phone. No account, no ads, no trackers. Chores live in a SQLite database on the device. The only thing that goes anywhere is app start timings, so I can tell if a release made it slower to open; the privacy policy spells that out.
Also in there: categories with icons and colours, swipe to finish or delete with a five-second undo, and stats (done, re-rolls, time, streak) over 7 days, 28 days or 6 months.
iOS only. Free forever with two re-rolls a day. Pro is a yearly subscription or a one-off lifetime purchase, with prices shown in the app.
For the curious: Expo / React Native, expo-router, drizzle over expo-sqlite, a native Swift target for the Live Activity, and my own neo-brutalist component kit. (ask me about it if you want)
Two questions for you: does a wheel actually get you to start? And what else would you want it to pick from? I'll be here all day.
