Set and track chore reminders from your phone

You can use this chore reminder app to schedule daily or weekly chore reminders for any member of your family. With Hound, you no longer have to remember to remind your family of their duties. You set up the Hound once, and your loved one will receive the chore reminder via text at the automated interval you specify.

Example of a weekly chore reminder. The message reads 'Mom sent you a reminder: Today is trash day! Bring the black bin to the curb.' Then there is a UI to schedule the reminder weekly, followed by a screenshot of the chore message being received on a phone.

You can also use Hound as a chore tracker. When using the reminder app for chores you can check a box to include a "completion link" along with the chore reminder.

Another example of a chore reminder, except this time a completion box is checked. The completion checkbox reads 'Include a link to allow recipient(s) to mark this hound as completed.' The second screenshot is the receipient getting the chore reminder followed by a link to click in order to mark it done.
Sending a completion link with a chore reminder.

When your recipient taps the link Hound will notify you that the chore is complete. The completion feature is particularly useful for reviewing when and how often the chore was completed. For example if you are reminding your son to feed the dog, then you can see whether or not he has completed the chore before you get home. You can view the history of completed chores in your app by tapping on the scheduled reminder.
