How to reach a human

Write to support@dailyresponsibility.app.

The app is made by one person, so a reply takes a day or two rather than minutes. You will get one.

There is also Settings → Send feedback inside the app, which is the better route for a bug: it attaches the version you are running, so nobody has to ask.

If something is broken, the three things that make it fixable are what you tapped, what you expected, and what happened instead.

Things that look broken and are not

What I logged for myself is not counting yet

That is the Confirm contributions rule, and it is on by default. Anything you log for yourself waits for another member to confirm it. Anything you log for somebody else counts straight away — you are the second party, so the claim already has a witness.

Whatever is waiting for you appears on the group's own screen under Waiting for you, with a confirm and a reject on each one. Rejecting asks for a reason, which the other person sees.

Two things that surprise people here. If there is nobody in the group who could confirm — you are the only account in it — your entry counts immediately instead, because there is nothing to wait for. And the whole rule can be switched off: hold the group on the Group tab, open Name, currency, week start, and turn Confirm contributions off. Then everything counts the moment it is logged.

The message thread emptied itself

Also deliberate. A message is deleted five minutes after you read it, counted separately for each reader, and in any case within seven days. A thread can be empty for you and still have messages in it for somebody else. An empty thread is the feature working.

If something needs to stay — a shopping list, an address — put it in the note on an entry instead.

The two percentages do not agree with each other

They are not supposed to. Every period gives you two separate splits: one for effort, one for money. Each adds up to 100% on its own. Doing 70% of the work and paying 20% of the money is an ordinary result, and keeping those two facts apart is the entire point of the app.

If the numbers still look wrong, check the period first. Day, week, month and a custom range give different answers, and your group's week does not necessarily start on Monday.

How do I…

…add somebody who will never install the app

Hold the group on the Group tab, open Who counts towards the split, and add a managed member. They get a name and a colour, appear in the split like everybody else, and need no account, no email and no invitation. A child, a house-sitter, a flatmate who refuses on principle.

Anyone in the group can log entries and expenses for them. Adding and removing members is an admin's job.

…invite somebody who will use the app

Same screen — Invite by code. The code has an expiry date and a limited number of uses, both shown next to it; if it stops working, make another. There is no other way into a group: no public directory, no search, no suggestions.

…change what a chore is worth

Hold the group, open The price list you agreed on. The numbers a new group starts with are a starting point, not a verdict — they exist to be argued about. A household that has agreed bedtime is worth more than vacuuming has already had the useful conversation.

Editing is limited to owners and admins, so one member cannot quietly reprice their own chores. Changing a price only affects what you log afterwards — past entries keep the value they were logged at, so old periods still add up.

…change the currency, or the day the week starts

Hold the group, open Name, currency, week start. Both belong to the group rather than to you, so everybody reads the same percentages over the same period. Changing the currency does not restate what was already logged: past spending keeps the currency it was recorded in.

…leave a group, or remove somebody from it

Hold the group on the Group tab; Leave is at the bottom of that screen. Your past entries stay in the group's history, so finished periods still add up to 100%.

An owner cannot simply walk away — a group with nobody able to administer it would be stuck. Hand it over to another member first, or delete the group outright, which erases everything logged in it for everyone.

Admins remove other members from Who counts towards the split. Removal ends that person's access to the group, its history and its thread immediately.

…delete my account

Settings → Account settings → Delete account. It asks for your password, and then it is gone: the account, your entries, your expenses, your messages and your profile photo, in every group. It is a deletion, not a deactivation, and there is no undo.

If you own a group that other people are in, hand it over or delete it first.

Notifications are not arriving

In this order:

• Settings → Notifications in the app. Each category is muted separately, and a muted category sends nothing at all.
• iOS Settings → Daily Responsibility → Notifications. If permission was declined the first time the app asked, iOS never asks again, and the app has no way to tell you that is what happened.
• Focus and Do Not Disturb, which deliver quietly rather than not at all.
• Sign out and back in. A device is registered to the account that signed in on it, so a phone that has changed hands re-registers on the next sign-in.

Still nothing? Write in, and say which iPhone and which iOS version.

Something a member wrote is offensive

Everything written in this app happens inside a private group that people join with an invite code. There is no public feed, no discovery, no comments and no way for a stranger to reach you. The other members are people you live with or already know.

If somebody in your group writes something you do not want to see, four things are open to you. The first two need nobody's permission and take effect before you lift your finger.

• Report it. Press and hold the message — or the note on a task or an expense — and choose Report. Pick a reason, add anything we should know, and it is gone from your screen at once. The person who wrote it is not told who reported them.
• Block them. In Who counts towards the split, press and hold their row and choose Block. Their messages and notes disappear for you and for nobody else. Their tasks and expenses stay in the split, because what somebody cooked is a fact about the household rather than something they said — a block that moved the percentages would be a button for editing your own score. Blocked people are marked on that same list, and the same long press offers to undo it.
• An owner or admin can remove them, from the same screen. That ends their access to the group, its history and its thread at once.
• You can leave the group, which ends the contact from your side.

Messages delete themselves five minutes after each reader has read them, so nothing written in the thread persists. A report is the exception: it keeps a copy of the words, for two years, because otherwise there would be nothing left to look at by the time anybody read it. The privacy policy says so in section 9.

Reports reach one person — the developer — and are read within one working day. Accounts used to abuse other people are switched off: signing in stops working and says why. What was already logged from that account stays, because those entries are the other members' record of their own household, not the account holder's property.

If it goes beyond one household — harassment, threats, anything involving a child — write to support@dailyresponsibility.app with the group name and what happened.

The plain facts

• Requires — an iPhone or iPad running iOS 17.0 or later.
• Price — paid once, on the App Store. No in-app purchases, no subscription, nothing further to unlock. Everyone in a group needs the app on their own device, but not their own purchase: one purchase covers an Apple Family Sharing group with purchase sharing turned on, and only people outside it — a flatmate, a friend — buy their own copy.
• Advertising — none, and no advertising identifier. There is no tracking software of any kind in the app.
• Accounts — an email address and a password.
• What is stored — set out in full in the privacy policy.
• Contact — support@dailyresponsibility.app.
