To Do — today's chores and work awaiting review in Room Robin

How the nest stays clean

1

It rotates itself

Every chore passes to the next robin in line — daily, weekly, or whatever rhythm fits. Nobody picks, nobody volunteers, nobody forgets whose turn it is.

2

Proof, not promises

Done means a before and after photo. Snap, submit, done. The “I totally did it” era is over.

3

The flock decides

Housemates vote to approve the work. Majority rules — and if it's not up to scratch, it flies back for another try.

One nest, everyone's branch

The Nest — chore rotation and access to your roommates
The Nest — the whole rotation at a glance, and who's up now.
Review detail — before and after photos with approve or send back
The verdict — before & after photos, approve or send back.
Roommates — household members, invite code, and standing chore trades
Standing trades — swap chores with a flockmate for good; the rotation honors the deal.

Nudges, not nagging

When a chore's due, Room Robin gives a gentle push — and if it's still sitting there, any flockmate can bump it with a note. The app does the reminding so nobody has to be the bad guy.

Human support from the founder

hey, it's Dean.

the guy who made room robin.

i built this app because every shared place i've lived in eventually fell into the same pattern: one person quietly did most of the chores, someone else insisted they "just did the dishes last week," and the group chat turned into a court of law.

we tried chore charts, we tried taking turns on the honor system, we tried just letting the trash pile up until someone cracked. none of it survived contact with real life.

so i built room robin around three rules: the rotation decides (nobody picks), done means photos (nobody argues), and the flock votes (nobody nags). it turned out the secret to a clean apartment isn't motivation — it's removing every excuse to have the conversation.

i still read every email myself. if something is confusing, broken, or you have an idea, write to hello@getfocusphone.app — you'll get a reply from an actual human (me).
