Repeated daily up for grabs chores start unassigned every day
David Weller
I want any of my three children to be able to compete for a single chore. A repeated up for grabs chore that is assigned specific amount on completion, such as dishes, that is a repeating chore but only allows to be selected and completed by one child each day, first come first served. Today one an up for grabs repeating chore is selected by a child, all reoccurrence are assigned to that child. If a daily repeating chores has all three children assigned, all three can mark as done and get paid, it should only be paid for the first child to make it.

Up for grabs chores
Sierra Beaulieu
When I make an up for grabs chore, and I said it to repeat daily… When a child claims that chore, they should only be claiming it for the day and not for the entire week and going forward indefinitely… I don’t want to have to re-create the same chore daily for 365 days a year, and have the same child have that chore indefinitely going forward. They should be able to pick who does it when it’s set for the daily routine, say Child One wants to do it on Monday, but Child two wants to do it on Tuesday. They should be allowed to do that.

Leaving an additional upvote on this. The currently implementation doesn't even make sense given the title of the feature. I have four kids. I need the dishwasher unloaded everyday, and I pay per chore. If it's up for grabs the first one to do it should get it. You know, up for grabs. Not one time for the chores entire life.

Need this as an option to automatically return each new weekly occurrence back to the “Up for Grabs” pool or to have the chore reset for another child to claim.

Another request for daily up for grabs, this seems like such a basic thing I came to the site planning to put in a bug assuming Daily Up for Grabs was broke, but it seems it was planned this way. I really need a way to create a set of chores that is available everyday but unassigned so the kids whichever kid grabs it first and completes it gets credit.

Here it is July 24, 2026, and this still hasn’t happened yet? What’s the hold up? The way it is set now is completely useless. There are chores that need to be done daily, but none of my 4 kids wants to do the same ones everyday. The competition is the incentive!! Please, can we make repeating up for grabs chore reset every day, week, month, etc once they’re done?? I am not entering load the dishwasher 364 times so it’ll be done every day. I’m off to look for another app that maybe will do this very simple thing!!

Repeat Up for grabs stays Up For Grabs

I would like a repeating up for grabs chore to perpetually stay in the up for grabs tab. Whoever completes that chore gets paid for it that one instance, but when it repeats any child can complete the new instance of that up for grabs chore.

100% echo all this. Please make this change!
Would like reoccurring chores that can be completed weekly and aren’t tied to individual family members. Would like for any of my kids to be able to “claim” that chore for only a single week, then it’s available for someone else to complete the following week. For example: clean cat box, drag trash to the curb, etc
Would also like the ability for parents to check off the chore if a parent completed it.
