For couples
Stop keeping score
in your head.
Brownie Points is a task and reward app built for how households actually work. Post tasks with point values, earn points for doing them, and spend those points on rewards you two actually care about. The scorekeeping happens in the app so it doesn't have to happen in the relationship.
No credit card required. Free plan always available.
The problem
Chores are the third most common
source of conflict in relationships.
According to Pew Research, 56% of married adults say sharing household chores is very important to a successful marriage — ranking just below fidelity and a satisfying sex life. Yet fewer than half of couples feel the split is actually fair.
The mental load is invisible
One person remembers to buy bin liners, schedule the plumber, notice that the bathroom grout needs attention. The other doesn't register any of it because nothing visibly broke. That gap compounds over months and becomes a real source of resentment.
Perception gaps are real
Pew Research found that 59% of women report doing more household chores, while 46% of men describe the split as equal. Both people are being honest — they just don't see the same workload. A visible task list fixes that.
"You never asked" is not a system
When one person is always the one who notices, plans, and delegates, they carry more than just the task. They carry the system. Brownie Points makes the task list shared, so both people are working from the same board.

How it works
Three steps. One shared board.
Add tasks and set point values
Either of you can post a task and decide what it's worth. Take out the bins, do the grocery run, fix the thing that's been broken for three weeks. Bigger effort, bigger points.
Do the task, earn the points
Complete a task and mark it done. Points land in your balance automatically. If you want, add a photo to confirm it's actually done — helpful for tasks that are easy to half-finish.
Spend points on your rewards
Cash in points for whatever rewards you've set up together. Dinner out, a guilt-free lie-in, the remote control for a week. Open text — you write in whatever has value to you two.
Features
Built for two people who live together
Both of you set the rules
Either person can be a Giver, an Earner, or both. You decide who assigns tasks and what they're worth. You can swap roles or share them — whatever fits your dynamic.
Rewards you actually want
No preset catalogs. Rewards are open text: "you cook Thursday", "I pick the movie", "full body massage, no time limit". Write in what matters to your relationship.
See the split clearly
The Fairness Dashboard shows task counts, point balances, and weekly contributions for both of you. Not to shame anyone — just to make the invisible visible.
Photo proof (optional)
If you want accountability, turn on photo proof. Complete a task, snap a photo, done. No arguments about whether something was actually finished.
Recurring tasks stay on the list
Weekly grocery run, monthly bathroom deep clean — set it recurring and it comes back automatically. Neither of you has to remember to put it back.
Private rewards
Assign a reward to one person specifically. Good for things you only want redeemed by your partner. The app handles the visibility.
