Different rules per task
Block games during homework. Allow messaging during dishes. Match the rule to the chore.
Inside the app
Screens that do the nagging for you
Tasks & consequences
Task creation that maps to real life
Per-child task lists
Assign tasks to specific kids. Each child sees only their own list, sorted by what's due next.
Due times that mean something
Set the exact moment a task is overdue. taskr does the rest — no manual nagging.
Recurring tasks
Schedule daily, weekday, or weekly chores so the dishwasher and the dog get handled automatically.
Notes and instructions
Attach instructions so 'clean your room' actually means what you think it means.
Screen Time controls
Screen Time rules that match the chore
Pick the apps that lock
Choose specific apps — TikTok, Roblox, Snapchat — or whole categories like games or social.
Choose what stays open
Whitelist messages, calls, school apps, and anything else you don't want blocked.
Per-task targeting
Different chore, different block. Heavy social block during homework, lighter block for dishes.
Trigger-only-when-overdue
taskr never blocks early. Apps stay unlocked right up until the deadline.
Photo proof & approvals
Photo proof and parent approvals
One-tap submission
Kids snap a photo from inside the task. No file uploads, no friction.
Approve or reject in seconds
You get a push notification. Tap the photo, swipe approve or reject, send feedback.
Reject and re-do
If the room isn't clean, send it back. Apps stay blocked until they re-submit.
Extend the deadline
Real life happens. Push the deadline forward without touching Screen Time settings.
For parents
Real-time parent dashboard
Live status per kid
Due, overdue, blocked, awaiting approval — all in one view that refreshes live.
History
See completed tasks and which photos you approved over time.
Push notifications
Get pinged the moment a chore is submitted or goes overdue.
Lightweight, fast
Built with native SwiftUI — feels like a system app on iPhone and iPad.
Safe by design
Apple-approved Family Controls
100% Apple framework
Built on the same Family Controls and Screen Time APIs Apple authorizes for parental control apps.
No jailbreak, no MDM
Nothing to install on the kid's device beyond the App Store version of taskr.
Parents stay in control
All limits run through Apple's secure framework. taskr cannot exceed what Apple allows.
Works with Family Sharing
Plug into the Apple Family you already have set up.
Fine-grained control
Per-task deadlines, exceptions, and overrides
Exception lists
Always-allowed apps for emergencies, school, and family communication.
Quick approve override
Tap once to approve everything if the situation calls for it.
Snooze for special days
Holiday or birthday? Pause enforcement for a day with one tap.
