How do I fairly assign chores to roommates?

Add all the chores to the Wapins chore wheel, enable 'Remove winner after spin' so each chore is assigned exactly once, then each roommate spins in turn. Whatever the wheel lands on is their chore this week. Share the wheel link in your flat WhatsApp so everyone sees the assignments.

Is the chore wheel free?

Yes, 100% free, no signup. Create unlimited chore wheels for your household.

Can the same person get picked twice?

If you add names to the wheel and use the 'Remove winner after spin' toggle, each person gets picked exactly once per round. For weekly rotations, turn the toggle off so anyone can get picked again — the history log keeps it fair over time.

Should I put chores on the wheel or names?

Depends on the pattern. Put chores on the wheel and each roommate spins in turn — fair one-shot assignment. Put names on the wheel for 'whose turn for dishes' rotations. Both work; pick what fits your household.

How do we handle chores someone really doesn't want to do?

That's exactly why the wheel works — it takes the choice out of the equation. If the wheel picks you for the bathroom, you get the bathroom. Roommates can swap chores after the spin if they negotiate, but the default is whatever the wheel said.

Does the log help with long-term fairness?

Yes. The wheel keeps the last 50 spins visible. Over weeks, you can scroll back and see if someone has been stuck with the same bad chore repeatedly — if so, manually adjust or re-spin with them excluded.

Two Ways to Run a Chore Wheel

Pick the one that matches your household.

🧹

Mode 1: Chores on the wheel

Put all the chores on the wheel. Turn on 'Remove winner after spin.' Each roommate spins once. They get whatever the wheel lands on. No chore gets picked twice — each is assigned exactly once.

Best for: One-time weekly assignment. Everyone gets a chore, nobody doubles up.

🎯

Mode 2: Names on the wheel

Put all the roommate names on the wheel. Each chore triggers one spin. The wheel picks who does it. Don't remove-after-win — the same person could get picked multiple weeks in a row, but the log shows when it's drifting unfair.

Best for: One chore at a time, live in the WhatsApp group. Whose turn for trash? Dishes? Dog walk?

Real Household Setups

🏠

4-roommate flat

4 people, 4 chores (dishes, trash, bathroom, vacuum). Chore wheel with remove-after-win → everyone gets one this week.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family with kids

Names wheel. When mom asks 'who feeds the dog?' the kid WhatsApp group shows the spin — it's Jordan tonight.

🎓

Student house

Students rotate cooking night. Names wheel. Whoever gets picked cooks Tuesday. Log covers the semester.

💑

Couple splitting duties

Just two people. Wheel feels overkill — but for ambiguous chores (laundry this weekend? trash?), one spin ends the debate.
