About the Chore Wheel

The chore wheel ends the oldest argument in any shared home: who has to do what. Instead of a parent playing referee or a roommate quietly doing the dishes for the third week running, you spin, the wheel lands on a chore, and that's the assignment. Every spin uses cryptographically fair randomness, so nobody can claim the wheel plays favorites, the vacuum is exactly as likely as watering the plants.

It starts loaded with eight everyday chores, dishes, vacuum, laundry, taking out the trash, cleaning the bathroom, mopping, dusting, and watering plants, and the Options panel holds a 24-chore catalog you can toggle on with a tap: making the beds, wiping counters, cleaning windows, cooking dinner, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, and more. You can also type or paste your own list, so a classroom job chart or an apartment's oddly specific chore split fits just as well.

The details are built for real households. Switch on "Remove winner after each spin" and each person spins in turn, everyone walks away with a different chore, and the wheel shrinks until the list is empty. The history and tally panel below the wheel keeps a running record of who got what, which is handy proof when someone insists they "always" get the bathroom.

How to use the chore wheel

Start with the eight default chores, or open the Options panel and tap chips in the 24-chore catalog (beds, counters, windows, cook dinner, walk the dog, mow the lawn) to build your household's real list.
Add anything custom by typing it in or pasting a whole list at once, one chore per line.
Turn on "Remove winner after each spin" so each chore is handed out exactly once and every person gets something different.
Take turns: each family member, roommate, or student spins once and owns whatever the wheel lands on.
Check the history and tally panel below the wheel for a running record of who was assigned what, no disputes later.
Copy the share link to send your exact wheel to the group chat; the wheel also auto-saves in your browser for next week's spin.

Ways to use the Chore Wheel

Family chore night

Line the kids up and let each one spin. The wheel (not Mom or Dad) hands out the bathroom, so the groaning is aimed at fate instead of a parent, and the tally shows everyone got exactly one job.

Roommate cleaning rotations

Load the apartment's real chore list, spin once per person each Sunday, and screenshot the tally. It replaces the passive-aggressive whiteboard with a record nobody can argue with.

Classroom job assignments

Teachers swap the chores for classroom jobs (line leader, board eraser, plant waterer) and spin at the start of the week. Random assignment feels fair to kids in a way a teacher's choice never quite does.

Weekend deep-clean draft

Toggle on the big seasonal items (windows, fridge, closet, garage) and draft them like sports picks. With remove-winner on, the jobs disappear from the wheel as they're claimed.

Deciding the one chore nobody wants

Sometimes it's not a full rotation, it's just the trash in the rain. Trim the wheel to the names of the people arguing, spin once, and the matter is settled in five seconds.

Teaching kids responsibility

Young kids love spinning, so the wheel turns chores into a game. Keep their slices age-appropriate (water plants, make the bed, feed pets) and let the spin make it feel like winning a prize.

Tips for better spins

Turn on "Remove winner after each spin" whenever you're assigning one chore per person, it guarantees no duplicates and empties the wheel exactly once around.
Match the number of chores to the number of people spinning; toggle catalog chips on or off until the counts line up.
Balance the wheel by effort, if it holds both "clean the bathroom" and "water plants," consider splitting big jobs into two slices so one spin isn't wildly unluckier than another.
Use the share link to send the finished wheel to your family or roommate group chat so everyone spins the identical list.
Keep the tally panel visible while you go around the room, a written record of who got what heads off the "I did that last time" debate before it starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a chore wheel work?

You load the wheel with chores, then each person spins and does whatever it lands on. This chore wheel picks every result with cryptographically fair randomness, so each chore has exactly the same odds on every spin, no favorites, no rigging.

How do I make sure everyone gets a different chore?

Switch on "Remove winner after each spin." Each chore leaves the wheel the moment it's assigned, so as people take turns spinning, nobody can land on a job that's already taken.

Can I add my own chores to the wheel?

Yes. The Options panel has a 24-chore catalog you toggle with a tap (from making beds to mowing the lawn) and you can type or paste any custom chores on top of it. The wheel auto-saves in your browser, so your list is there next time.

Is a chore wheel actually fair?

Over time, yes, random assignment evens out with no memory of grudges or favorites, and the built-in history and tally panel records who got what so you can check. If one week feels lopsided, the tally is your evidence for a re-spin rule.

Does the chore wheel work for roommates and classrooms too?

Yes. It's the same fair spin whether the slices are household chores, apartment cleaning duties, or classroom jobs. Paste in any list, share the link so everyone sees the same wheel, and go around the room.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. The chore wheel runs free in your browser with no sign-up or download, saves your setup automatically, and even has a fullscreen mode for spinning in front of the whole family or class.
