Chap

Overview

Chap is a chore-sharing and tracking app for households, including couples, roommates, and families. It can also serve as a personal to-do list for someone managing tasks alone. Members can create chores, decide when they repeat, assign responsibility, and keep track of completion.

Chores can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or as one-time tasks. Assignments can stay with a particular member or rotate to the next member after a chore is completed. Chap also offers reminders, overdue notifications, and member nudges to bring outstanding work to attention.

Free members can use unlimited places and members. Chap provides organization tools, preset routines, completion analytics, and administrator controls for household rules and progress monitoring. The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web.

Key features

Flexible schedules and assignments

Chap accommodates both repeat routines and occasional chores. Its daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and one-time scheduling options give households a way to represent different task patterns. A chore can be assigned directly to a member or set to rotate after completion, which can help distribute recurring responsibilities among household members.

Reminders and progress history

Chore reminders and overdue reminders help surface tasks that need attention. Chap also supports member nudging notifications. Completion tracking and progress history let users follow what has been finished, while chore and member analytics summarize completion over weekly, monthly, bi-annual, and yearly periods.

Household organization

Filters, grouping, sorting, and color organization provide different ways to arrange chores. A calendar view offers another way to see scheduled work. Chap also includes points, dark mode, and preset routines intended to help users get started. Household administrators can use admin controls to set rules and monitor progress.
