Bounty Board

A chore app that turns housework into a bounty-hunting game.

The dishes get done. That's the whole pitch.

What it is

Members of a household post chores as bounties with a reward attached, and whoever completes one “cashes it in.” It started as a parent/child chore app, but was redesigned around a relationship graph instead — permission relationships as directed edges between any two members — so it equally supports partners, multi-adult households, and classic parent/child setups.

How it works

  1. Someone posts a bounty: a task, a reward (or several — multi-currency is supported), and who it's targeted at.
  2. A household member claims it within a claim window, preventing bounty-squatting.
  3. Completing it logs an append-only ledger entry — balances are always derived from the ledger, never stored as a raw number that could drift or be edited.
  4. The claimant cashes in their reward from the person who posted it.

Why it exists

The problem

Normal chore apps assume “one parent, one child, one list.” Bounty Board is built around the reality that households come in every shape — and, as it turns out, “do the dishes and I'll owe you a back rub” is an economy couples run forever, long after kids age out of chore apps.

“Build like you expect it, but not like it's here.”

Under the hood

A three-layer bounty structure (definition → version → instance) makes reward-switcheroo disputes architecturally impossible.
