for the families OurHome left behind
The OurHome alternative that can't hold your family hostage
If you're here, you probably know the story: OurHome — the family chore and rewards app — has been abandoned for years. Server outages have locked families out since September 2023. Support never answers. Years of chore charts, points balances, and family routines, gone behind a spinning loading screen.
ChoreTrack was built specifically for this moment, on one promise: a family app should never be able to take your family's data down with it.
Switch to ChoreTrackEverything you loved about OurHome, kept
- Chores assigned per kid, with rotation and repeat schedules
- Points for every chore — kids watch their jar fill up
- A parent-defined rewards store ("1 hour of screen time = 50 points") with redemption
- Per-kid views, so each child sees only their own jobs
- A family activity feed — who did what, when
Everything that hurt, fixed
| OurHome | ChoreTrack | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Abandoned; outages since 2023 | Actively developed (2026) |
| Your data | On their servers, unreachable | On your devices + one-tap export, always |
| Accounts | Email accounts, kids included | None — kid PINs, no emails, no child data |
| Sync | Unencrypted, server-dependent | End-to-end encrypted; works offline |
| Verification | Honor system | PIN-gated parent approval (optional) |
| Price | Free, until it cost you everything | Free for 2 kids; $5/mo family for sync & more |
The anti-OurHome promise: every chore, point, and prize your family earns can be exported as CSV with one tap, free tier included, forever. If ChoreTrack ever shut down, the app keeps working offline and your data walks out the door with you.
Switching takes about five minutes
Set up your kids (names and PINs — no accounts), add your chores or start from our starter set, and stock the prize shelf together at dinner. An OurHome CSV importer is on the roadmap; meanwhile most families find a fresh start is the fun part — the jars are empty and the race is on.
