Recurring Chore Planner

The tool should help households create a realistic starting routine, not prescribe one “correct” division of labor.

Inputs

  • household member names/roles or anonymous labels;
  • rooms/areas;
  • chores selected from an editable library;
  • frequency preference;
  • assignment mode: fixed owner / rotate / unassigned pool;
  • accessibility or “exclude this task for this person” settings without requiring sensitive medical explanation.

Output

Show weekly view, recurring-rule view and owner workload summary. Workload summary should count estimated frequency, not rank people publicly.

Important behavior

The generator must allow deleting suggested chores easily. Default list should be modest.

Product bridge

Save selected tasks to the local task manager or print as a chart.

CTA: Create a two-week experiment, not a permanent household constitution. Review what actually worked before adding more chores.
