Family organization
Divide family tasks and chores fairly — with Famora
Who takes out the bins, who waters the plants, who's on point for Saturday's shopping — Famora turns family tasks into a shared list everyone can see, assign, and check off in real time.
How task assignment works, step by step
Add a task to a shared list
Anyone in the family opens a task list and adds what needs doing — no separate app, no setup. The same list type the family already uses for shopping, just switched to tasks.
Assign it to someone
Pick who's responsible. The task carries their name and an optional due date, and shows up in their own list — not just in a shared pile nobody owns.
They get notified
The assignee receives a push notification the moment a task lands on them, so nothing depends on someone remembering to check the list.
Postpone or catch up
If a task is overdue, opening it shows the due time and two buttons — Postpone or Done. Postpone pushes the reminder back by the family's own interval (set under Calendar → reminder behavior), up to a limited number of times.
Tick it off — visibly
Marking a task done records who completed it and when, and every family member's app updates immediately, over the same realtime connection the shopping list uses.
Recurring chores: whose turn it is, automatically
Some jobs come back every week — bins, vacuuming, watering. Instead of re-assigning them by hand, an adult sets up a recurring chore once: a title, how often it repeats, and who's in the rota. Famora spawns the next task automatically each time it's due, with a due date and an assignee already attached.
- Round-robin or fixed: the turn passes automatically to the next person in the rota, or always goes to the same one — your choice, per chore.
- Lands on the family's chores list, auto-created and named in each member's own app language — everyone sees the same rota, however their phone is set up.
- Only an adult can create or edit the recurring rule; every family member, including children with their own account, can see whose turn it is and tick tasks off.
Children without their own phone
A child doesn't need a device to be part of the family's task list. Famora lets you add a managed profile for them — no phone number, no email, no login — so they can be named as the assignee on a task or included in a chore's rota, exactly like anyone else.
- The whole family sees whose turn it is on the child's behalf — the rota and the task list don't hide them.
- Without a device there's no one to push a notification to, so a parent usually opens the task and ticks it off for the child.
- Once the child gets their own phone, invite them as a normal family member — they take over the same tasks themselves from that point on.
Events have a responsible person too
Task lists aren't the only place responsibility lives in Famora. A calendar event — the school trip, the birthday, the dentist appointment — can also carry one responsible family member, separate from who's simply attending: name whose job this is, before it becomes a problem.
Part of every Famora plan
Task lists and recurring chores are included in every plan — there's no separate purchase for them. How many family members, chores, and open items fit depends on the plan your family is on, shown in the app and adjustable by whoever administers your family.
Questions families ask us
How do I assign a task to a family member?
Open a task list, add what needs doing, and choose who it's for. That person is notified immediately and sees the task in their own list — no separate step, no extra app.
How do recurring chores decide whose turn it is?
You set up the chore once with a rota of people. Famora then rotates through them automatically (round-robin) or always assigns the same person (fixed) — your call — and creates the next task with the right assignee already attached each time it's due.
Can a child without a phone be assigned a task?
Yes. A managed child profile — no device, no login — can be named as the assignee or added to a chore's rota, so the rest of the family still sees whose turn it is. Since there's no phone to notify, a parent typically completes the task on the child's behalf.
What happens if a task isn't done in time?
Opening an overdue task shows a Postpone button alongside Done. Postponing pushes the reminder back by your family's own interval (set under Calendar → reminder behavior) — up to a limited number of times, not indefinitely.
Does Famora give points or rewards for finished chores?
No. Famora shows who did what and when, so the family can see it's handled — it deliberately doesn't turn chores into a points or rewards game.
