List the chores, pick how often each one happens, and rotate them so everyone takes every job in turn. A paper chart works until someone forgets to move the magnet. In TableCash the turns move on their own: each roommate sees their turn at the top of their board, taps Done when it's finished, and TableCash keeps a record of who did what. Chores are free.

Start with a short list

Most houses need the same handful: the kitchen, the bathroom, trash and recycling, the floors, and buying the shared stuff like toilet paper and dish soap. For each one, write down what "done" means, because everyone thinks they know. "Kitchen" can mean wiping the counters or it can mean the whole fridge.

Then pick how often each one happens. The kitchen might be every day, the bathroom and floors every week, trash on pickup day.

Take turns instead of fixed jobs

"Sam always does the bathroom" feels fair for about a month. A rotation is easier to agree on, because everyone gets every job in turn and nobody is stuck with the worst one. Keep the order the same every time so nobody has to work out whose turn it is.

A chart nobody has to update

1. The person who runs the house sets it up in the TableCash app and adds the chores, each with how often it repeats: every day, every week or every two weeks.
2. The turns go around the house in order on their own. Nobody moves a magnet.
3. Text one link to the group chat. Each roommate opens it on their phone or laptop, taps their name and types a code we email them. They don't need the app.
4. Each roommate sees their turn at the top of their board and taps Done when it's finished. TableCash keeps a record of who did what.
5. Running out of something? Anyone marks it out, and whoever's turn it is to buy sees it on their board.
6. Roommates can add their chore turns and rent days to their own phone calendar.

Put the rules where everyone agreed to them

Write the chore rules into the house rules. Everyone who joins the house sees the rules and accepts them, so "I never agreed to that" doesn't come up. If the house can't agree on a change, put it to a house vote. The rest of what to settle before move-in day is in this roommate agreement checklist.

What it costs

Chores, reminders and house info are free. TableCash only charges a fee when someone pays by card (3.5% plus $1.49 per payment), so a house that only uses it for chores pays nothing. If you also want the rent in the same place, here's how to collect rent from roommates.
