Better way for Parents to Track Chores for Allowance

PROBLEM
My kids have multiple chores every day and I like using the proportional tie to their weekly allowance. The problem is that many weeks reach their end and my kids have not remembered to check everything they did do and it's hard to remember (after the fact) which daily chores were done and which were not. Since they want their max allowance, they often check more things than they did when they simply don't remember. And as a parent, I have no way of really knowing.
SOLUTION:
Add a new option for the kid or parent to select "not completed". For example, If my kids must keep their room 100% clean every day, either them or me can log it was not completed at the end of any day because it's very easy to see if it was done or not. That eliminates the effort of trying to recant at the end of the week. It also build strong routines for the kids to follow and increases accountability.
