課題
Household chore management was a common source of frustration:
- No clear system for tracking who did what and when
- Recurring chores (daily, weekly) were easily forgotten
- Multiple households (e.g., family home and vacation property) needed separate tracking
- No mobile-friendly solution with proper authentication and notifications
私たちのソリューション
We built a full-stack household chore management application with multi-household support, recurring task scheduling, and email notifications.
Architecture
- Backend: NestJS with TypeScript, MongoDB (Atlas), Redis caching
- Frontend: Flutter for cross-platform mobile (iOS/Android)
- Authentication: JWT with access/refresh tokens, email verification
- Notifications: AWS SES for email reminders
- Storage: AWS S3 for user profile images and attachments
Key Features
- Multi-Household Support - Create and manage multiple households (family home, shared apartment)
- Chore Assignment - Assign tasks to specific household members with due dates
- Recurring Schedules - Set daily, weekly, or custom recurring intervals
- User Profiles - Profile images and household member management
- Email Notifications - AWS SES-powered reminders for upcoming and overdue chores
- Secure Authentication - JWT tokens with email verification and password reset flows
- Chore Categories - Cleaning, grocery shopping, pet care, fitness, and more
Data Models
- Users - Authentication credentials, profiles, household memberships
- Households - Multiple households per user with type classification
- Chores - Task details, assignments, recurrence rules, completion tracking
- Tokens - Verification, access, and refresh token management

よくある質問
MicrocosmWorks developed a weighted scoring system where each chore is assigned effort points based on estimated duration, physical difficulty, and frequency. The algorithm balances cumulative effort points across household members over rolling weekly periods rather than simply counting tasks, ensuring truly equitable distribution.
Yes, MicrocosmWorks built an age-gating system where household admins can tag chores with minimum age requirements and maximum difficulty levels for younger members. The task distribution engine respects these constraints while still including children in the rotation with appropriate tasks like tidying or feeding pets.
MicrocosmWorks implemented a gamification layer with streak tracking, achievement badges, and a household leaderboard that resets weekly. The app also supports configurable reward systems where parents can link chore completion to allowances or screen time, with automatic tracking and payout calculations.
MicrocosmWorks built the app using React Native for cross-platform iOS and Android support, with a Node.js backend and PostgreSQL database. Push notifications are handled through Firebase Cloud Messaging, and the real-time task status updates use WebSocket connections for instant household-wide sync.
MicrocosmWorks delivers consumer mobile apps like this at rates of $10-$30/hr, with the full project scope including iOS and Android apps, backend API, push notifications, and the fair distribution algorithm typically requiring 300-500 development hours. Ongoing maintenance and feature additions are billed at the same competitive rates.
