Chorebit
Tick chores off without opening the app
"You have to pay to customise it in any way at all" is the most common complaint about chore list apps. Chorebit puts the list on a home screen widget, marks a chore done in one tap, and leaves nothing behind a paywall.

The widget is the app
Your list sits on the home screen with the list title and what is left. One tap marks a chore done — the app does not have to open at all.
Completed chores drop, they do not vanish
Finished chores move to the bottom instead of disappearing, so you can see what the two of you got through. Prefer them gone? Hide them in Settings.
Who took what
Enter two names once. Every chore carries a badge with the first letter, so a glance tells you who is buying the milk and who is doing the bins.
Repeating chores come back
The dishes, the plants, the recycling. Set a chore to repeat every day or every week and it returns on its own after you tick it off.
Due dates with real reminders
Give a chore a time and get a reminder on time or 10, 30 or 60 minutes early. Bills and appointments stop falling through.
A shopping list in thirty seconds
Type an item, press enter, type the next. No reopening a form for every line.
Several lists, free
Chores, groceries, the weekend — keep them apart and switch with one tap. The widget follows the list you picked.
No account, nothing uploaded
There is nothing to sign up for. Your lists live on this phone and the app works with no connection at all.
FAQ
- Why is my chores widget blank or missing?
- Usually the launcher has paused the app in the background. Allow unrestricted battery use for Chorebit, then remove and re-add the widget. Our widget guide walks through it on Samsung, Xiaomi and Pixel.
- Does Chorebit sync between two phones?
- No. Chorebit is a local app with no account and no server, so the list stays on the phone it was made on. To hand it over, tap share and send the list as text in any messenger.
- Is anything locked behind a subscription?
- No. Several lists, repeating chores, due reminders, sorting, assignee badges, widget text size and opacity are all in the free app. It is supported by ads.
- Can I tick a chore off from the widget itself?
- Yes, one tap on the row marks it done and the widget updates right away. You never have to open the app to keep the list current.
- Do completed chores get deleted?
- No. They move to the bottom of the list with a line through them. Turn on "Hide completed" in Settings if you would rather not see them.
- Can I add several items in a row, like a grocery list?
- Yes. Press enter after each item and the field clears for the next one, so a full shopping list takes about half a minute.
- Do reminders survive a restart?
- Yes. Chorebit re-registers your reminders after the phone reboots, so a due chore still reminds you.
- Is it a couples app or a family app?
- Both. It is built around two names, which suits couples and roommates, but any household that splits chores can use it. There are no boards, projects or workspaces to set up.
