Chore wheel

Chore wheel for households and roommates

Q: How do roommates all see the same chore list?

Edit the list once, then use Share link. The link carries the whole list, so everyone opens the same wheel on their own phone. Changes each person makes after that stay on their device.

Eighteen jobs that keep a shared home running. Spin to hand them out, and nobody can say they always get the bathroom.

Entries, one per line

One entry per line. Add *3 after a name to give it three times the chance.

How to run a weekly chore rotation

Edit the list so it matches your home. Cut what you don’t have (no dishwasher, no plants) and add what you do, like “Feed the cat” or “Shovel snow”.
Open Options and switch on Remove the winner after each spin. Now a chore leaves the wheel once someone has it.
Take turns spinning in a fixed order. With three people and 18 jobs, everyone spins six times and the wheel is empty.
Check the Results tab, which lists every chore in the order it came up. Copy it into your group chat or onto the fridge.
Next week, press Reset to bring all the chores back and start the spinning order with a different person.

Keeping it fair when chores are not equal

Cleaning the bathroom takes longer than watering plants, so a pure lottery can feel unfair over a single week. Three ways to fix that:

Bundle the jobs: replace single chores with weekly packages of similar effort, such as “Kitchen week”, “Bathroom week” and “Floors and trash”. One spin each, done.
Heavy then light: spin a wheel of the big jobs first, one per person, then a second wheel of small jobs. Save both in My wheels.
Trade within an hour: anyone can swap a result with someone who agrees, as long as it happens on the day of the spin.

Over a month of weekly spins, luck evens out. The wheel’s real job is to stop the same person ending up with the worst chore by default.

Questions and answers

Should we spin chores or people?

Either works. Spinning chores (as set up here) suits a shared spin on Sunday evening. If you have one job to assign, like “who cleans the oven”, put names on the random name picker instead.

What about a household with kids?

Use the kids chore wheel, which sorts tasks by age, or make a second wheel here with the jobs your children can do on their own.
