A Genuinely Free Chore App for Families
Most “free” chore apps are trials, limited tiers, or $3.99 per child per month in disguise. TidyDone has one version and it costs nothing: unlimited kids, points, leaderboards, and rewards — no premium tier to bump into.
No credit card · No trial clock · Free forever for founding members

Why is it free?
Fair question — “free” apps usually monetize somewhere. TidyDone is new, and the first 500 founding-member families get every feature free forever in exchange for the thing early products actually need: honest feedback from real families. That is the model. No ads inside the app, no per-child fees, no trial that expires the week your kids finally buy in.
If paid plans ever exist for later signups, founding members keep full access at no cost — the offer is a commitment, not an introductory rate.
