Notifications and reminders

Each person picks their own notification types in Profile. The list covers assignments, reminders, submissions, approvals, comments, proposals, transfers, and reward requests. Turn off anything that doesn't lead to an action.

Parents usually want submissions and reward requests. Kids usually want assignments, reminders, and approvals.

Install Choreze from the browser. On iPhone, tap Share, choose Add to Home Screen, then open Choreze from the Home Screen and turn on notifications.

Settings → Family Settings has three reminder cadences. They change how often reminders go out. They don't change due dates.

Minimal: a same-day chore gets one evening reminder, and a multi-day chore gets one about 24 hours before it's due. Overdue follow-ups come about every 48 hours.

Normal: a same-day chore gets a morning and an evening reminder. A multi-day chore gets one at the start, one at the midpoint, and one 24 hours before it's due. Overdue chores are checked about once a day, around 10:00 AM.

Persistent: same-day chores also get a warning 2 hours before they're due, longer chores get more reminders along the way, and overdue follow-ups come about every 12 hours.

Parent review reminders follow the same setting. They go out about 48 hours after a submission on Minimal, 24 hours on Normal, and 12 hours on Persistent.

Quiet hours hold reminders until the window ends, in the family's timezone. Overnight windows work. Set 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM and reminders wait until morning.

Start with Normal and quiet hours on. Switch to Minimal if everyone already checks the app, or to Persistent if overdue chores keep falling to you.
