Free chore chart generator
Make a free chore chart and print it. Add the children and the chores, choose the days, and you get a weekly grid of tick boxes — tap them on a phone, or print the page and use a pen. No account. The chart stays in the link, so you can bookmark it or send it to the other parent.
Children
Up to six. Add yourself too, if you're in the rotation. Tap a name to change it.
Chores
Tap a chore's name, in the list or on the chart, to change it. The ticks and the days stay.
Chore chart
Add a child and a chore, and the week appears here.
Swipe sideways for the rest of the week.

Filling in the week
Each row is a chore. Each column is a day. A box means the chore happens that day, and a tick means it's done.
Tap a name to change it. The ticks, the days and whose turn it is all stay put.
All seven days start selected. Clear the ones that don't apply — the bins, if they only go out on Monday — and those squares stay empty.
The week starts on Monday. Switch it to Sunday if that's how yours runs. The columns and the rotation both follow the day you pick.
Sharing the chores between the children
Turn on Rotate chores between the children each week and the chart shares the chores out, then moves each one on to the next child when the week changes. Two children and two chores means one each this week and a swap next week.
The link stays the same. Open it next week and the names have moved on, because the week is worked out from today's date.
Leave the switch off and a chore stays with the child you gave it to.
This is a chart for one week. Stuck to the fridge, it doesn't update itself.
Print it, or tick it on a phone
Print or save as PDF opens your browser's print window. Choose Save as PDF, or print onto A4 or US Letter. The paper is black and white, and it's the chart on its own — the rest of this page stays on the website.
On a phone, swipe sideways for the later days. The boxes are sized to tap. Ticks are kept in the link and they clear when the week changes, so the next one starts blank.
Nothing here is uploaded. The names sit in the link, and anyone you send that link to can read them. Share it the way you'd share the paper on the fridge.
Whose turn it is, on the wall
A printed chart is the right tool for a week you can hold. It goes quiet the week nobody prints the next one.
DinkyDash is a dashboard for a screen you already have — an old tablet, a spare monitor, the TV. You name the people and the chores, and whose turn they are, in order. Each day the dashboard moves every chore on to the next person. There's nothing to tick. The wall says the name, next to today's calendar and the countdowns.
That's a different job from this page. Here you make a grid and print it. A digital calendar and chore chart is the screen that holds the week and the chores together, and keeps the turns moving after you've stopped reprinting.
The hosted version is free for 14 days, no card, then $39 a year or $6 a month. The self-hosted version is free, on a computer you leave switched on. The daily headline is optional and costs about $0.13 a month on your own Anthropic key.
Questions
Is this chore chart free? Yes. There's no account, and you can print it as often as you like. It's a small tool from DinkyDash.
Can I print the chore chart? Yes. Print or save as PDF opens the print window. Save as PDF from there, or print on A4 or US Letter. The printed page is the chart, in black and white.
Does it work on a phone? Yes. On a narrow screen the week scrolls sideways, and the boxes are big enough to tap. Turning the phone sideways shows more of the week at once.
What does rotating chores do? Each chore moves to the next child when the week changes. The week follows the Monday or Sunday start you picked, and it's worked out from today's date, so a bookmarked link shows the right names next week too. With the switch off, a chore stays with the child you chose.
Where are the names saved? In the link, and only there. We don't store the chart. Anyone with the link can see the names, so send it the way you'd hand over a paper chart.
How is this different from the DinkyDash dashboard? This page makes a chart you tick, on paper or on a phone, for one week. The dashboard hangs on a wall screen. It shows whose turn each chore is, the turn changes every day, and there's nothing to tick.
