Release notes
What's new in Chorzle
Every shipped update, newest first. We log them here so it's easy to see what we've been working on.
- Beta
The Hive: see every bee you've earned
Badges used to be a number that went up. Now every rung you climb sends a bee out to your own meadow, and so does every look you unlock in the Boutique, so what you've earned is something you can point at and count. It fills the screen, and every so often one bee takes off for a lap.
- One bee per badge rung earned, plus one for every Boutique look you own
- Everyone opens their own hive, and can wander over to anyone else's
- The page that tracks your balance and level is now called Chorzles
- Nothing is ranked against anyone else, as always
- Beta
Returns and refunds keep their history
When a grown-up sends a chore back or refunds a reward, the activity feed now shows the whole round trip instead of quietly erasing it. Your lifetime total stays honest either way, so a returned chore never leaves credit behind.
- Beta
Everything a parent set up can be changed
Rewards can now be edited in place, so changing what something costs no longer means deleting it and starting again. New families also get a short setup checklist that quietly disappears once you're up and running.
- Beta
Three looks to choose from
Pick the classic honey theme, a glowing night one, or pink and purple with a little rainbow. You choose by tapping a picture rather than reading a label, so a child who isn't reading yet can pick their own. Text can be sized up too, and a calm mode stills the ambient movement for anyone who finds it distracting.
- Beta
Forecasts, printing, and a look at the money
A new Forecast page stretches everyone's pace a month and a year ahead and puts two savings futures side by side, built to be readable by a curious kid rather than only an adult. You can also print a day sheet for anyone in the family, for the fridge or for a grandparent minding the kids.
- Forecast, trends, activity, and a family money view
- Printable day sheets for any person and any day
- A savings goal now shows roughly when you'll reach it
- Beta
The Bee Boutique is open
Chorzles now have somewhere fun to go. Sixteen looks to buy for your bee, from a lucky clover to a crown, and once you've got one your bee wears it everywhere it turns up. Fixed prices, you buy exactly what you pick: no packs, no surprises, no gambling.
- Beta
Chorzle is now a web app
Chorzle runs right in your browser, on any device: phone, tablet, or computer. There's no app store and nothing to install, and you can add it to your home screen if you like. It's in early beta while we welcome families in a few at a time. The points kids earn are called Chorzles, and the whole family stays in sync through one shared account.
Older builds aren't listed here. Curious what's coming next? The Buzz is where we write about it as we go.
