A SaaS-Style WordPress Plugin for Family Chore Management

Super Star Chore Chart is a family‑friendly, server‑synced chore management system built as a WordPress plugin. It helps families organize daily responsibilities, track paid and unpaid tasks, and keep everyone in sync across multiple devices.

With recent updates, it now functions as a standalone Progressive Web App (PWA) with isolated user accounts, meaning your family members never have to see or interact with the WordPress dashboard!

✨ New in Version 2.4+

📱 Progressive Web App (PWA)

• Installable: Users can install the chore chart directly to their iOS or Android home screens for a native full-screen app experience.
• Smart Prompts: Native Android install prompts and custom iOS Safari instructions.

🔐 Isolated App Authentication

• No WP Accounts Needed: Uses a custom, secure cookie-based login system. Users don't need WordPress subscriber accounts.
• Self-Serve Password Resets: Built-in "Forgot Password" flow sends a secure, time-limited reset link via email.

🔗 Magic Link Invites

• One-Click Joins: Family admins can generate a secure "Invite Link."
• Frictionless: When clicked, family members are instantly logged in via a guest account and added to the family chart—no passwords required!

🌗 Light / Dark Mode

• System-Aware: Automatically detects the user's OS preference (Dark or Light mode).
• Manual Toggle: A simple toggle switch in the app header allows users to override the theme, saving their preference instantly.

👨‍👩‍👧 Core Features

Family System & Live Sync

• Create a family with a shared name and password (or use Magic Links).
• All members see and update the same chore chart.
• Changes sync automatically across all devices via background server polling.

🧒 Per‑Kid Chore Tabs

• Add, rename, or remove kids easily.
• Each kid gets their own chore list with daily checkboxes (Mon–Sun).
• Real-time per‑task totals and weekly earnings summaries.
• Clean black‑and‑white Print Mode for pinning to the fridge.

🧹 Chore Categories & Pay

Organized into intuitive groups (Personal Care, Kitchen Crew, Brain Gigs, etc.). Supports:

• Unpaid Team Duties - Paid Gigs (Choose between Flat Rate or Per-Day pay structures)

🛠️ Edit Mode & Archives

• Easily rename tasks, adjust pay rates, or toggle paid/unpaid status.
• Save a Default Template to quickly reset the board every Sunday.
• Automatically archive completed weeks to review past performance and earnings.
