TidyQuest
Whoever vacuums the living room this week should not be decided by whoever loses the argument, so TidyQuest turns household chores into quests with health bars, coins, and a family leaderboard. Every chore gets a health indicator that drains as its due date approaches, which makes overdue cleaning visible at a glance instead of festering in a group chat. Completing tasks pays coins into a personal wallet, builds daily and weekly streaks, and unlocks twelve milestone achievements from first chore to a thirty day run. Coins buy entries from a reward catalog your household defines, whether that is picking the Friday movie, extra game time, or sleeping in, and parents approve each redemption before it counts. Rooms organize work around the eight built-in spaces, from kitchen and bathroom to garage and garden, seeded with more than sixty predefined chores at realistic intervals. Assignment modes decide how credit lands: the first finisher takes everything, assignees split coins equally, or custom percentages reward whoever does the heavier share, while a strict mode requires admin approval before completions count. Reminders reach phones through web push, Telegram, ntfy, or Home Assistant, and vacation mode pauses decay for anyone away. A calmer couple mode strips the game layer away entirely, leaving plain shared tracking for households that just want the list. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Benefits
- Chores Become Visible Quests
- Health bars decay toward each chore's due date, so neglected tasks turn visibly urgent on the dashboard instead of being forgotten until guests arrive or the bin starts smelling.
- Coins Kids Actually Chase
- Completing chores earns coins for a household reward catalog, with streaks and twelve achievements layered on top, turning reluctant helpers into leaderboard competitors who ask for more tasks.
- Fair Credit For Shared Work
- Tasks can pay the first finisher everything, split coins equally among assignees, or follow custom percentages, while strict mode lets parents approve completions before any coins land.
- One Small Container, Everything Inside
- A single roughly 300MB Docker container with embedded SQLite runs the whole household, with JSON backup and restore, six interface languages, and no external services required at all.
