Turnabout Open the board

For families and flatmates

Chores that take turns.

Turnabout weighs every job by effort, shares the week out fairly every Monday, and adds up the pocket money your kids have earned. It lives in your browser, so there's nothing to sign up for.

How it works

Set it up once. Monday does the rest.

  1. Add your household.

    Give each person a name and a colour. Kids get a rate per effort point; grown-ups and flatmates can be 0 and still take their turn.

  2. Weigh the chores.

    Rate each job from Quick to Big job. Feeding the cat is one dot. The bathroom is five.

  3. Tick them off.

    Every Monday Turnabout hands out the week so the effort comes out even. Everyone ticks off their own jobs, and the money adds itself up.

Why it's fair

Four weeks. Nineteen points each.

Turnabout doesn't count chores, it counts effort. Each Monday it hands out the heaviest job first, to whoever has done the least this week, hasn't had that job for longest, and carried less over the last month. There's no dice roll, so the same household always gets the same rota, and you can see why.

Everyone cleaned the bathroom once. Everyone hoovered once. Nobody had to argue about it.

What's on the board

Small rules that stop big arguments.

Pocket money that adds itself up.

Every ticked chore earns its points times the child's rate. The allowance screen shows what each kid is owed. Pay it out in one tap and it's written down, with the newest payout always one tap from undo.

The past stays put.

Each week remembers who did what and at what rate. Give someone a raise and last month's money doesn't change.

Lives in your browser.

No account, no server, nothing uploaded. Export a backup file to move the board to a new phone or keep a copy.

  • Flatmates welcome. Set a rate of 0 and you take your turn without the money.

  • Phone or laptop. A bottom tab bar on phones, a top bar on bigger screens.

  • Light and dark. It follows your device's setting.

  • Works for everyone. Big touch targets, full keyboard use, and every change announced to screen readers.

Try it

This is the real board.

It starts empty, the way yours will. Add the people, add the chores, and this week's rota appears. Whatever you set up here stays in this browser.

Open the board

Fair questions.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the board and start. There's no sign-up and no password.

Where is my household saved?

In your browser on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere. Use Settings → Export backup to keep a copy or move to another device.

What if a chore gets forgotten?

Step back to last week and tick it there. The earnings update, and the pay that's owed comes out right.

We added a new chore mid-week. Now what?

The board tells you it's changed since the week was made. Tap Reshuffle and the week is shared out again with the new chore in it.

Can we use it as flatmates, without money?

Yes. Give everyone a rate of 0 and Turnabout just shares the work out fairly.

Is the rota random?

Never. The same people and chores always give the same rota, so anyone can check it.

Put it on the fridge.

Two steps and this week's chores are shared out fairly.
