Case study — iOS app

Choradora: from idea to the App Store

Better Tech (own product)

The idea

Chore charts don't survive contact with real families. Kids say it's done, parents can't verify, and the fridge chart is abandoned by week two. Choradora makes chores verifiable: parents assign, kids complete with photo proof, and a rewards store gives the whole loop a reason to keep going.

What shipping an app actually takes

This is the case study we point to when clients ask if we can take something from zero to launched — because we've done the entire road ourselves:

  • Native iOS — Swift and SwiftUI, built for how the platform wants apps to feel
  • Real backend — Firebase auth, Firestore data, cloud functions; multi-user families with parent and kid roles
  • Photo verification — the feature that makes it work: chores close with proof, not promises
  • The unglamorous parts — App Store review, subscriptions with StoreKit, updates, and everything else between "it works on my phone" and "it's on the store"

The outcome

A live App Store product with paying subscribers — and firsthand knowledge of every step we'd walk a client through, because we've walked it with our own product first.
