- 02
Finish it
Tick the task off. It is struck through in your colour, and your points go up by the tier value.

Built for a household
One list for the whole household
Every member of the household sees the same tasks. Invite family members to join.
A colour for each member
Each member has a colour. A done task is struck through in the colour of the person who did it.
Tasks that repeat
A task repeats daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with an interval such as every two weeks. Completing it moves it to the next date.
Assigned or open
A task has no owner by default. Assign it to one member when that person should do it.
Points for every tier
Each task has a tier worth 5, 10, 20 or 50 points. The points go to the member who completed the task.
The weekly crown
The member with the most points this week wears the crown. The crown needs at least one point.
