The full tour

Every feature, explained.

Broomerang is five tabs deep. Here's what each one does β€” from the scheduling brain that plans your week to the boomerang economy that makes everyone want to finish it.

Home β€” your day at a glance

Open the app and the answer to "what should I do right now?" is already on screen. The progress ring shows how today is going and whether you're on pace for the week; overdue work leads the page in coral so it can't hide; and when everything's done, the boomerang rests.

🎯The progress ring

Done vs. to-go for today, this week, or this month β€” swipe the picker and the whole dashboard follows. It even knows if you're on pace.

🚨Overdue leads

Anything past due jumps to the top in coral with its own date tile. The app nags so you don't have to.

πŸͺƒAll-clear moments

Finish the day and you get "All clear today ✦" β€” with a peek at how the rest of the week looks.

πŸ“…Calendar built in

One tap opens the month grid β€” every member's assignments as colored dots, jump to any day, manage away time.

Chores & Scheduling β€” set it once, it runs forever

Describe a chore once β€” how often, who can do it, how long it takes β€” and Broomerang generates the schedule week after week. Every rhythm a household actually has is supported, and the app picks who's up next so nobody has to be the manager.

πŸ”Automatic rotation

Chores pass between everyone eligible β€” daily chores can rotate in blocks ("you own dishes for a week"), anchored to any weekday.

πŸ‘―Joint chores

Some jobs take the whole crew. Joint chores assign everyone together, and completion asks who actually took part.

❗Priorities

Essential chores are always scheduled, even in an overloaded week. Flexible ones politely step aside to next week first.

πŸ•°οΈMissed-chore policies

Life happens. Each chore decides: carry forward as overdue, skip to next time, or wait for someone to resolve it.

🎨Categories & rooms

Your own categories and rooms, each with a color and icon β€” chore tiles tint to match, so lists read at a glance.

πŸ˜€Icons that mean something

Chores auto-pick an emoji from their name β€” "Clean Bathtub" gets πŸ› β€” or choose your own from 48 options.

πŸ“šStarter library

New homes start from a curated chore library instead of a blank page β€” pick what applies, tune later.

πŸ”ŽSearch, filter, group

Group by category or room, filter by person, sort by next due β€” plus a full history log of everything ever done.


πŸ“Š

Workload β€” fairness you can point at

Arguments about "who does more" end when the math is on screen. Broomerang measures each person's share in real minutes of estimated effort β€” not chore counts β€” and shows the split as a donut in everyone's own color. Drifting uneven? One tap proposes a rebalance, and you approve every change before anything moves.

⏱️Minutes, not counts

A 5-minute chore and a 90-minute one aren't equal β€” balancing runs on estimated time, so shares are honestly fair.

πŸ”€Rebalance with preview

See exactly which tasks would move and to whom before applying. This week can stay untouched if you prefer.

🧒Personal capacity

Set weekly caps per person β€” a busy exam week or a new baby changes what "fair" means, and the app respects it.

🧾Both sides of a cover

Covered work shows under whoever actually did it and whoever it was done for β€” credit and accountability, both visible.

The Boomerang Bank β€” why everyone keeps playing

Every chore pays boomerangs. They pile up in a personal bank with a 30-day balance chart, get spent in a reward store your family stocks itself, and pool into shared house goals. It's the difference between a chore list people ignore and a game the household actually opens.

🏷️Every chore has a price

Set each chore's value from 0–20 πŸͺƒ β€” bump the one nobody wants. Suggestions come from effort, but you're the market.

⏰Bonuses that shape behavior

Early birds earn +1. Finishing your whole week grows a streak worth +2 to +5. Covering a housemate pays 1.5Γ—.

🌟The Golden Chore

Each week, one chore is secretly worth triple. Nobody knows which β€” until someone completes it and the reveal hits.

πŸ›οΈA store you stock

Rewards with real prices, weekly or monthly limits, and stock counts ("2 left this month"). Live-preview creator included.

πŸ”Parent-approved spending

Redemptions can hold boomerangs in escrow until a Home Owner approves. Vouchers wait in the wallet until they're used.

🎯House goals

Everyone chips into a shared target β€” pizza night, theme-park day β€” and watches the bar fill together.

πŸ“œA public ledger

Every earn, spend, and adjustment is on the record. Owners can grant or deduct β€” with a reason the whole house sees.

↩️No cheating the till

Un-complete a chore and its boomerangs fly right back out. The economy stays honest by construction.


πŸ‘₯

Your household β€” everyone in, effortlessly

A household is one shared world: invite with a QR code or link, give each person the right level of access, and every device stays in sync live. The app even makes itself personal β€” pick your color and the whole interface follows you.

πŸ“²QR & link invites

New members scan a code or tap a link and land in your home, picking their own name and color on the way in.

πŸ”‘Roles that fit families

Home Owners run the show, Full Access members do everything day-to-day, Limited members see and complete β€” perfect for kids.

✈️Away time

Mark vacation days and the scheduler works around them β€” essential chores get flagged for a plan so nothing critical slips.

πŸ”„Trades

Can't make your night? Send a trade request instead of a text argument. They accept, the schedule updates everywhere.

🌈Your color, your app

Each member picks a color β€” avatars, charts, and the entire interface accent follow it on their device.

πŸ–ΌοΈThemes & backgrounds

Stock gradient themes or your own photo behind everything, matched by the home-screen widget.

πŸ””Notifications that matter

A morning digest of your day, completion pings, trade alerts β€” each stream individually toggleable.

πŸ“¦Your data, portable

Live cloud sync across devices, plus full export and import. It's your household β€” you can always take it with you.
