ChoreKey
Locked until done. Only at home.
Live on the App Store and Google Play
The idea
Phones get out of hand. Children get glued. Parents get tired of asking. ChoreKey ties phone access to chore completion, but only when your child is at home. Outside the house, the phone works normally. No tracking, no surveillance, no “you’re grounded”.
Only at home
Restrictions apply inside your home geofence. Step out, and the lock lifts automatically.
Photo proof
A snap of the made bed or clean kitchen, sent for one-tap parent approval.
Built for trust
No ads, no analytics, no data sales. You choose exactly what gets locked, and phone calls always go through.
On Android
ChoreKey for Android runs the same core loop as the iPhone app: a home geofence, photo proof, and a parent PIN, so apps unlock once chores are approved. It’s free. The parent approves right on the child’s phone, with the PIN. Approving from your own phone is iPhone only for now. Android never blocks phone calls, messages, maps, the camera, the emergency dialer, or Settings.
Android is free. iPhone has a 7-day free trial, then $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $39.99 once.
Approve from your own phone
The ChoreKey app is the whole product on your child's phone. On iPhone, the same app also runs on a parent’s phone, and it is included in the plan. You can see what your children have submitted, approve a chore from the couch with Face ID, and add or edit chores without ever picking up their device.
Approve from anywhere
Photo lands on your phone the moment your child submits. One tap with Face ID unlocks their phone.
Multiple children
Pair as many children as you need. Each child sees only their own chores. Cloud sync turns on only after you pair.
One plan
7 days free. Then $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $39.99 once for lifetime. Every plan includes everything. Family Sharing works on all three.
Billing is through Apple. Cancel any time in iPhone Settings. If the trial or plan ends, ChoreKey stops locking apps on your child’s phone. Nothing is deleted, and paying again starts it back up. If you bought ChoreKey+ before, you keep lifetime access at no charge. Android is free on Google Play.

We do not sell data, run ads, or use analytics SDKs. The ChoreKey app stores everything on your child's device. The parent app syncs through your own iCloud account so you can approve chores remotely: cloud sync is off by default and only activates when you pair a parent's phone with a child's. Photos on the child's device are cleaned up seven days after a parent approves or returns the chore; copies synced to the parent app’s iCloud storage stay until you delete them. From version 1.3.2, photos never leave your family’s devices and iCloud and are never sent to us. Versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 had an optional AI photo check, and the service behind it is shut off once 1.3.2 is available. You choose exactly what gets locked, and phone calls always go through.
