Last updated August 2026. Written to match exactly what the app does — nothing here is boilerplate copied from somewhere else.
When you set up or join a household, you give it a name and give yourself a name — that's it, no email, no password, no account outside the household itself. We also store:
No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. Nothing here is sold, shared with data brokers, or shared between households — a household's data stays inside that household. There's no third-party sign-in either; whoever holds the invite code supplies their own name at the point they use it.
Household members see each other's names and how many tasks they've finished in the current round — never a running record of who did what, and never which specific task someone is stuck on. That's deliberate: this app is built to avoid turning chores into an accounting exercise between people who live together.
If enabled, a device's Expo push token is stored so the app can notify your household when someone starts a round. It's tied to your device, not to any other identity, and is deleted along with your account.
"Delete my account," right in the app's account settings — no email or support request needed. It's a real, permanent deletion, not a soft "leave." If you're the person who set the household up, deleting your account removes the whole household with you: every member, task, and round history it contains. Leaving a household (instead of deleting your account) keeps your past round history intact for the housemates who stay.
The app talks to one server we run ourselves — no third-party backend, no cloud analytics platform sitting in between.
