I made an app that turns your daily chores into RPG quests with XP, gold, loot & monster battles

I’ve always found game mechanics more motivating than normal to-do lists, so I wanted something that made chores feel a bit more like a game.

I tried a few habit trackers but nothing really ticked all the boxes. I mainly wanted something simple for managing household chores with a bit of a fantasy theme, so I ended up building Chorebound.

In Chorebound, chores become quests that reward XP and gold. There are also occasional random encounters and small monster battles, and the gold you earn can be spent in a reward shop that you set up yourself.

It also works co-op - my partner and I use it together for things like dishes, laundry, cleaning, and errands, and it’s helped us stay a lot more consistent with keeping the house in order.

I launched it publicly about a month ago. It’s still small (around 80 users) but 4 people have already subscribed to the premium plan, which has been a nice bit of motivation to keep improving it.

If you try it, I’d love to hear any feedback.
