Chore Chart Maker

Make a household chore rotation that shows who does each task and how often. Set household effort points to help spread work over several weeks.

Enter 2–12 unique names. Names stay in this browser unless you choose to print, copy or download the chart.

Example: Dishes | 3 | 2. Frequency is 1–7; effort points are 1–5 and are your household’s relative estimate, not time measurements.

This is a simple rotation heuristic, not a judgement of fairness. Equal effort points are treated as comparable; household preferences, age, accessibility, availability and task quality are not inferred. Review and edit the schedule together.

Names and chores are processed locally and are not saved or uploaded. Copy, CSV download and printing are explicit actions.

CSV export prefixes chore or person names beginning with =, +, - or @ to reduce spreadsheet formula execution. This intentionally changes those exported text values.

Your schedule will appear here.

How does the chore chart maker work?

Enter each person on a new line. Add chores as “name | times per week | effort points” (1–7 times, 1–5 points), choose 1–12 weeks and generate. Each occurrence is assigned once, spread across the week, and people with the lowest accumulated effort are considered first.

Frequently asked questions

How does the chore chart maker work?

Enter each person on a new line. Add chores as “name | times per week | effort points” (1–7 times, 1–5 points), choose 1–12 weeks and generate. Each occurrence is assigned once, spread across the week, and people with the lowest accumulated effort are considered first.

Are names or chores uploaded?

No. Names and tasks remain in this browser tab. The tool does not save them or send them to a server; copying, printing or downloading is an action you choose.

How does the chore chart balance work?

Each chore occurrence adds its effort points to the assigned person. The generator gives the next chore to someone with a low accumulated point total and uses rotating tie-breaks. Points are only estimates you enter.

Can I choose how often a chore appears?

Yes. Give each chore 1–7 occurrences per week. Occurrences are spread across different days, then assigned to a person.

Are names or chores saved online?

No. The chart is made in this browser. It is only copied, printed or downloaded if you choose those actions.
