Do my kids need their own phones to use ChoresFlow?

No. The app works great on a shared family iPad or phone — kids switch profiles with a 4-digit PIN. If they do have their own device, that works too.

How are Islamic prayer times calculated in ChoresFlow?

After you allow location access, precise coordinates are sent to Aladhan to calculate prayer times and to BigDataCloud to identify the city or region shown in the app. ChoresFlow does not use this location for advertising.

Do my kids need their own email accounts?

No. Each child logs in with their own 4-digit PIN right on the family screen — no email, no app-store account. It works great on one shared tablet.

What happens after the 14-day free trial ends?

You are never charged automatically. We will ask if you'd like to continue — pick a plan or stay on Free with one child. No surprises, no credit card required to start.

Is my family's data private on ChoresFlow?

Yes. No ads, advertising trackers, or profiling of your kids. ChoresFlow uses essential authentication storage and privacy-focused Cloudflare Web Analytics, and never sells your data.

How to Tie Your Kids' Chores to Prayer Times (And Why It Works)

"Clean your room by 5pm" doesn't mean much to a seven-year-old. But "clean your room before Maghrib" — that lands differently. Maghrib is a real event in your home. The adhan goes off, the family gathers, and there's a natural moment of transition that every child in a Muslim household already knows.

This is why tying chores to prayer times works so much better than arbitrary clock deadlines.

The five-prayer chore framework

Before/After Fajr

Make bed and tidy room (ages 7+)
Brush teeth and get dressed (ages 5+)
Put away dishes from the night before (ages 9+)

Before Dhuhr

Vacuum or sweep their room (ages 8+)
Empty the dishwasher (ages 7+)
Water plants (ages 6+)

After Asr — the homework + Qur'an window

Read Qur'an for 10-15 minutes (all ages)
Complete school homework (ages 6+)
Set the dinner table (ages 5+)

Before Maghrib — the natural hard deadline

Maghrib is your most powerful parenting tool. "Before Maghrib" is not negotiable — it's an external event that happens regardless of whether the chore is done.

All evening chores complete
Devices put away
Room tidy check

Why this works better than clock times

They're arbitrary. Kids don't understand why 4pm matters. Maghrib is an event — it means something.
They shift with the season. "Before Maghrib" automatically adjusts for winter and summer.
They're self-enforcing. The adhan reminds them — you don't have to.

How to track it without the mental overhead

ChoresFlow was built to solve exactly this problem. Kids see their chores with prayer-time anchors alongside the actual prayer time for their city. The mental overhead drops to near zero. The structure stays.
