No more arguing about whose turn it is
Running a household is a multiplayer problem: lots of chores, unevenly shared, and nobody remembers who took the bins out last. GYST makes it visible. Everyone sees the same list. Whoever does a chore ticks it off and earns the points. Spend them on rewards you define yourselves: pizza night, an hour of gaming or a night off the dishes.
Chores that repeat themselves
Dishwasher daily, plants every three days, bathroom once a week: chores repeat on fixed dates or come due again only once they're done. There are also "anytime" chores you can do as often as you like. Every chore gets a point value, a colour and one or more people in charge. If today doesn't work, snooze it.
Points go to whoever did the work
Even when someone else logs the chore, the points land with the person who did it. If several people pitched in, they share the points. A mistake is undone with a single tap, and an activity feed shows what got done and what was redeemed.
Rewards and rankings
Every household builds its own reward shop with prices in points, optionally limited. Taskmasters confirm when a reward has actually been handed over. The rankings show who got the most done this month, quarter, year or of all time, or who has the biggest balance right now.
For the whole family
Members join with an invite code. Children under 16 get their own child account through a parent and sign in with a pairing code, no email address or password needed. Notifications only arrive if you turn them on: when something is assigned to you or someone logs a chore on your behalf.
Privacy first
No ads, no tracking. Crash reports are sent only if you explicitly agree. Delete your account and data at any time, right in the app.
