About ChoreSpinner

ChoreSpinner is a small, independently run site. It is not a company, not a startup, and not a free tier that eventually asks for a card. It is a set of household planning tools that run entirely in your browser, built and maintained by one person — me.

Who's behind it

My name is Miguel Salcedo. I build software, and I built the first version of this for my own household, because splitting cleaning by argument was not working and every app I tried wanted an account, a subscription, and everyone living here to install it. A printed sheet on the fridge beat all of them. The generators here are the thing that produces that sheet.

To be plain about what I am not: I am not a professional cleaner, a home organizer, or a child-development specialist. The time estimates and age suggestions on this site come from ordinary household experience and common practice, not from a credential. They are a starting point to adjust, not an authority to defer to.

How the generators actually work

Everything runs on one hand-written task database of 82 household chores. Each task carries a room (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living areas, floors, outdoor, admin), a frequency (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly), a minute estimate for an average two-to-three-bedroom home, and a depth tier from light-essentials to full deep clean. Many also carry an alternate kid-facing wording, which is what the chore chart generator swaps in when you turn on kid-friendly phrasing.

Every tool on the site is a different way of slicing that one database:

• The weekly cleaning schedule generator filters by frequency and depth tier and lays the result out day by day, scaling the minute estimates to the home size you pick.
• The chore chart generator deals the same tasks out by person instead of by day, so each family member gets a row.
• The roommate rotation generator groups tasks into whole zones, balances the zones by total minutes rather than task count, and shifts zone and person order each week.
• The chore wheel draws one task at random from a narrowed pool.
• The laundry and deep cleaning tools work the same way against their own slices.

There is no server doing any of this and no model generating text on the fly. It is deterministic code and a data file, which is why the tools work instantly and keep working offline once the page has loaded.

What this site will never do

• Ask you to make an account. There is no sign-up, no login, and no email capture anywhere on the site.
• Store your schedules. Names you type into the tools stay in your browser. Nothing you generate is transmitted anywhere. The only things kept locally are your theme preference and your deep-cleaning checklist progress.
• Put the useful part behind a paywall. Every generator is complete and free. The Print Shop is a planned set of designed printables for people who would rather have a nice sheet than make one. Nothing there is on sale yet, and when it is, it will be an alternative to the free tools, never a gate on them.

Why it's free, and how it's paid for

The site carries display advertising through Google AdSense. That is the whole business model, and it is the reason there is no subscription and no account wall. Ads are kept out of the way of the tool itself and off the printed output — the print stylesheet strips them, so a chart you print costs you paper and nothing else. What data advertising involves is set out in the privacy policy.

Corrections and contact

If a time estimate is wrong for your home, a task is missing, or something on the site is simply broken, tell me — the task database is hand-maintained and gets better when people point at the gaps. Write to [email protected] or use the contact page.
