Random Chore Picker

Tired of arguing about who does what? Our random chore picker settles it fairly. Type in the chores that need doing, spin the barrel, and get to work on whatever it lands on. It’s free, it takes a few seconds, and it works on your phone.

How to use the chore picker

1. Type up to six chores into the boxes. You can use the ones already there as a starting point.
2. Press “Spin the barrel.”
3. Wait for the barrel to stop. The chore on the front is the one to do.

Your list is saved on your own device, so your chore list will be ready next time.

Why let a barrel choose?

Nobody likes feeling like they got stuck with the worst job. A random pick takes the argument out of it, because no one chose the answer. It’s also a little more fun than a chore chart.

Tips for getting the most out of it

• Let each person spin once. Everyone takes a turn and gets a chore.
• Mix easy and harder jobs. That way the draw feels balanced.
• Make it a game for kids. A spinning barrel is more fun than being told what to do.
• Keep the list up to date. Swap chores in and out as your week changes.

Questions people ask

Is the chore picker free?

Yes. There’s nothing to pay and nothing to sign up for.

Is it really fair?

Each chore has an equal chance on every spin. Because it’s random, the same chore can come up twice in a row, which is just how chance works.

Can I use it for kids?

Yes. Add age-appropriate chores and let them spin.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It’s made to work on phones, tablets, and computers.

Can I change the chores?

Yes. Type over any box and the barrel updates right away.
