# Incentivized Household Chore Apps The OurHome App Rewards Family Members for Doing Various Chores By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-07-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ourhome References: [ourhomeapp](http://ourhomeapp.com/) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/ourhome-chores-rewards-groceries/id879717020) OurHome is a task management app with a gamified twist. While there are plenty of apps designed to help families manage common household chores, it can be difficult to get each family member to actually complete different tasks. This app uses a [gamified platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respawn1) to encourage each person to pitch in around the house. OurHome is a mobile app that helps, families, couples and roommates create task lists for common household chores. When each task is completed, the user is rewarded points based on the value of the core. When a certain number of points is accumulated, users can redeem rewards such as new toys or a fun outing with the family. The gamified system thus uses tangible rewards as an incentive for completing less-than-enjoyable tasks. Unlike other [productivity app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamified-habit-tracker) that pit users against strangers, OurHome creates a tiny social network for families and roommates to track the completion of household chores. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gamified Task Management:** Developing task management apps with gamified features can increase motivation and encourage users to complete tasks. - **Incentive-based Rewards:** Implementing tangible rewards, such as toys or outings, can be an effective way to incentivize users to complete household chores. - **Social Network for Chores:** Creating a social network specifically for families and roommates to track and complete household chores can foster collaboration and accountability. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app developers can explore the opportunity of creating innovative task management apps with gamified features. - **Reward-based Incentives:** Industries that offer products or services can consider implementing reward-based incentives to motivate customers and increase engagement. - **Collaborative Productivity Tools:** Companies specializing in productivity tools can develop platforms that facilitate collaboration, accountability, and task completion within families or roommates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gamified Chore Tracking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chore-tracking.md) - [Family Organizational Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/famhive.md) - [Household Task Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chore-chart.md) - [Chore Reward Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewardsters1.md) - [Gamified Home Chore Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamified-chore-app.md) - [Household Chore Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplechore.md) - [Gamified Task Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytasking.md) - [Child-Friendly Habit-Forming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habitforming-apps.md) - [Gamified Children's Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childrens-productivity.md)
