ChoreKey

iPhone / Style de vie

Chores First, Play later. Locked until done. Only at home.

ChoreKey ties your kid's phone access to chore completion — but the lock only applies when they're inside your home geofence. The moment they leave the house, the phone works normally. No tracking, no surveillance, no "you're grounded."

THE CORE IDEA
Most parental control apps treat the phone like a 24/7 leash. ChoreKey treats it like leverage where it works: the home. When the kid is home with chores pending, the apps you picked are blocked. When the chores are done and approved, everything unlocks. When the kid leaves to go to school, practice, or a friend's house, the lock lifts automatically.

HOW IT WORKS
• Parent sets up once: home location, kids' first names, which apps to block, and a 4-digit PIN.
• Kid opens the app, sees today's chores, taps one, snaps a photo of the result.
• Parent gets a one-tap approval: check or redo. That's it.
• When the kid leaves home, the lock lifts. When they come back, it re-applies — only if there are still chores pending.

WHAT'S NOT HERE (ON PURPOSE)
• No accounts, no email, no login. Setup is 90 seconds.
• No tracking outside the home geofence. No location history, no breadcrumbs.
• No cloud. Family data stays on this device. We don't run servers that hold your data.
• No analytics SDKs phoning home. None.
• No advertising. No subscription traps. No "cancel" buttons that loop forever.

WHAT STAYS UNLOCKED
Phone calls, Messages, and Maps are never blocked, even when the shield is on. A 12-year-old can always call you when their ride falls through.

PRIVACY
ChoreKey collects no data about you or your kids. Everything — chore lists, photos, PIN, the home geofence coordinate — lives only on this iPhone. Photos auto-delete from the app's storage 7 days after parent approval. There's nothing for anyone to leak because nothing leaves the device.

A NOTE ON FAMILY CONTROLS
ChoreKey uses Apple's Family Controls framework to apply restrictions to apps you choose. You'll be asked to grant Family Controls permission once during setup. The app cannot manage another device remotely — restrictions only apply to the iPhone where ChoreKey is installed.

WHO IT'S FOR
Parents of kids ages 8 to 17 who have an iPhone. Works on the kid's phone. The parent uses the same phone in PIN-gated parent mode to assign chores and approve photos.
