Away Coverage Away Coverage plans temporary cover for work already scheduled during an absence. Preview capacity, share the handoff and apply cover to those occurrences while preserving the household rotation. 1. Open Operations → Away Coverage. Choose the absent member and dates, up to 31 days. 2. Preview cover for existing open work due in that period. Review effort, proposed member and unresolved items. 3. Confirm Apply coverage. A changed roster or work list requires a fresh preview. 4. Share the handoff report. Completing covered work credits the cover member, clears that temporary cover and advances the original rotation. The return day is excluded. Only existing open occurrences are covered; the app does not generate all future repeats or contact people. Capacity reflects recorded work and configured daily capacity, not personal availability. Due-date or roster changes invalidate the relevant cover. Unresolved work remains visible.

ChoreOrbit now organizes recurring work by named zones and maintained assets. Add service windows, planned or completion-based recurrence, prerequisite work, per-person capacity, and a clear definition of done. The new Operations console explains blocked, late, ready, and overloaded work. Recovery Plan now respects grace windows and capacity, while completion records preserve local handoff evidence and playbook coverage. This update also streamlines iPhone and iPad navigation and upgrades local backups to include every new operations record.

Version 2.0 adds Balance Forecast with deterministic workload projections, effort-aware household shares, pressure-day detection, strict-improvement recommendations, confirmation before applying changes, and sharing This release also refreshes the native iPhone and iPad experience, accessibility, privacy boundaries, and App Store screenshots. There are no accounts, subscriptions, advertising, tracking, or developer-operated services.

**See your progress** A new Insights tab turns your completed chores into something you can actually look at: a day streak, your best-ever streak, completions this week, and simple bar charts of the last two weeks and who in the household has done what. It all builds from the chores you mark done — nothing to set up. **A gentle daily nudge** Turn on a single daily reminder at a time you pick. It quietly tells you how many chores are due that day, so things stop slipping through the cracks. It runs entirely on your device — no account, no internet. **Back up everything to one file** Save your chores, household members, and full history into a single file you can keep in Files or move to another device, then restore it any time. Your data stays yours. Everything is still 100% offline: no account, no ads, no tracking.

What's New in ChoreOrbit 1.2 ChoreOrbit finally does what its name promises - real chore rotation, not just a to-do list. Recurring chores Set a chore to repeat every day, every few days, weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Marking it done now reschedules it to the next occurrence automatically instead of leaving it stuck on "done." Fair auto-rotation Add the people in your household, then put a chore on a rotation. Each time it's completed, it hands off to the next person - a fair round-robin so the not-so-fun jobs get shared. Tap "Done & rotate," or skip a turn when someone covers for someone else. Workload balance A new balance view in the Toolkit shows a per-person tally of completed chores plus a fairness score, from "Even split" to "One person carrying it." It makes the invisible work visible. Richer exports Plain-text and CSV exports now include who's assigned, the repeat cadence, and completion counts - plus a dedicated workload-balance CSV you can drop into a spreadsheet. Also - Household member management in the Info tab. - Corrected the version shown in the Info tab. - Everything still 100% offline: no account, no ads, no tracking.
