Daily through to a fortnight
Never done
Says so, and waits
The Chores screen grouped into three overdue jobs, two due now and seven done for now, each tagged with a room and an interval, and the finished ones showing the date they next come round.
Done for now tells you when the towels come back.

How it works

  1. Overdue, due now, done for now

    Three groups, and the last one earns its place: it tells you the towels are back on Tuesday instead of waiting to ambush you.

  2. By due or by area

    Two buttons at the top. Sort by what is late, or by kitchen, bathroom and whole flat for when you are standing in the room with a cloth.

  3. Never done is a state

    Mopping the floor says never done and stops pretending to be a day late. Every job carries its own interval.

Asked about Household Chores

What is the Household Chores module in Cadence?

What is late, what is due, and when the rest comes back. Three groups, and the last one earns its place: it tells you the towels are back on Tuesday instead of waiting to ambush you.

Can I switch Household Chores off?

Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Household Chores, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.

Does Household Chores sync between the Mac and the iPhone?

Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Household Chores keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.

Keep Household Chores. Ignore the other twenty five.
