Chores & Tasks
Chore roulette — pick versus assign
Where you find Chore roulette
On the main chore dashboard, look near the All Chores header for the Chore roulette button. It gives you two choices:
1. Pick a chore to complete
Use this when you want Chorish to choose what someone should do next.
It picks randomly from chores that are not complete in the current dashboard view. Selecting a member first does not change which chores are included.
2. Assign a chore (Assign roulette)
Use this when you want Chorish to choose an unassigned chore, then you decide who should take it.
It picks randomly from active chores with no assignees yet. After the wheel lands, tap one or more members to assign them to that chore.
If every active chore already has an assignee, Assign a chore has nothing left to pick.
Good to know: Assignment and completion are separate. A chore can be complete and still appear in Assign a chore if nobody is assigned to it yet.
Spin again
After assigning members, tap the wheel again to spin for another chore.
Reduced motion
On devices with Reduce Motion enabled, the long spin animation may skip while the result still appears — the wheel isn’t broken; accessibility is doing its job.
Quick troubleshooting
| What you see | What’s likely going on |
|---|---|
| Assign a chore shows zero chores | Every active chore already has an assignee. |
| Pick a chore to complete is empty | Everything in the current view is complete, or there are no active chores. |
| It picked a chore that’s already done | Nobody is assigned to that chore yet. Assign someone, or leave it open. |
| Reset behavior looks different than expected | Assignment resets and completion resets are separate owner choices. |
