Chore Rota Builder

Type the people and the chores and get a week-by-week rota that rotates, so nobody is stuck with the bins every week and nobody gets the same job two weeks running. It finishes with a count per person, so the fairness is visible rather than asserted. Everything runs in your browser — no account, no names uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked

How does the rotation work?

Each chore shifts one person along every week. That means your chores next week are always different from this week's whenever there are two or more people, and over the whole rota the totals differ by at most one.

What if there are more people than chores?

Some people get a free week, and the free weeks rotate too. The totals at the end show exactly how it landed.

Is the rota binding?

No. It is a starting point to argue with. Swap by agreement — a rota that nobody agreed to is just a list on a fridge.
