We built ChoresMates because the "I do more" argument is unwinnable

Hey Product Hunt!

We're the team behind ChoresMates - think Splitwise, but for household chores instead of money.

The problem we kept running into:
Everyone in a shared household overestimates their own contribution. You think you're doing 70% of the work. Your partner thinks the same. There's no objective way to settle it - if you bring it up, you're the nag. If you don't, resentment builds.

Our solution:
ChoresMates gives every chore a point value based on actual effort. Cooking dinner? 8 points. Loading the dishwasher? 2. A real-time leaderboard shows the breakdown - and when it's 12 vs 45, that visual hits different than any conversation.

What makes it different from a shared to-do list:

• Points-based system weighted by effort, not just task count

• Leaderboard that makes imbalance undeniable

• Photo proof for accountability

• Smart scheduling with auto-rotation between members

• Home screen widgets so the numbers are always visible

Where we are:

• Live on iOS and Android

• Free to use (Pro is $19.99 lifetime or $0.99/mo)

• Set up takes under 5 minutes with 100+ chore templates

We'd love to hear how you handle chore fairness in your household - and any feedback on the app!
