Screen time stays locked. Until the chore gets done.

Chore Check blocks calls, texts, and apps on a kid's phone or tablet until a real chore is finished — verified by AI, not by trust. Built by a 10-year-old who was tired of being nagged.

How Chore Check works

Four steps, every time a chore is due.

Step 1

The grab

Chore's not done yet — every app on the device gets stopped cold.

Step 2

The challenge

Room, dishes, vacuum, pet, or plants — take the photo or short video to prove it.

Step 3

The proof

AI checks the photo against what a real chore looks like — no cheating with a dark, blank shot, or holding up an old picture of a done chore.

Step 4

The unlock

Verified. The internet comes back — until the next chore rolls around.

Not a gimmick

What's actually in the app

Real features, built and tested on a real family's tablet.

Five that rotate

Room, dishes, vacuuming, pet feeding, and plant watering — each with its own photo or video proof, on whatever schedule a parent sets.

AI on judge duty

Every attempt is checked automatically against a real example, and logged — so "close enough" isn't a thing anymore.

Parents hold the PIN

Screen-time limits, custom chores, and a manual block button all sit behind a parent PIN with brute-force lockout.

Can't be uninstalled

Device-admin protection means no quietly removing the app to get around it.

Weekly schedule

Assign each chore to specific days — a real to-do list, not a daily grind.

Daily screen-time limit

Set a hard cap on total screen time per day, on top of chore checks.
