Ever had that moment where you realize you forgot to mark a chore as done yesterday? Or maybe you want to check what actually got completed last week, but you can’t quite remember? Life gets busy, and sometimes we need a little help catching up—or looking back. That’s exactly why Chorish just introduced Time Travel, a feature that lets you go back in time and see your dashboard exactly as it appeared on any past day. It’s like having a time machine for your chores! Best of all, it’s free, private, and lives right on your device—no apps, no sign-ups, just a clever way to keep your chore tracking flexible and forgiving.
What Is Time Travel?
Time Travel is Chorish’s newest feature designed specifically for home owners. It lets you view and edit your dashboard exactly as it appeared on any past day, from the day your home was created all the way up to today. Think of it as a historical view mode that’s both powerful and easy to use.
When you activate Time Travel, a teal banner appears at the top of your screen showing the date you’re viewing—like “Time traveling – 17 Feb 2026”. The banner includes simple navigation buttons: Previous and Next to move through dates day by day, and a “Return to present” button to bring you back to today’s view. You can travel back as far as when your home was first set up, or forward to today (but no further—sorry, no peeking into the future!).
While you’re time traveling, your entire dashboard transforms to show exactly what it looked like on that date. You’ll see which chores were completed, which members did what, and even the notes that existed on that day. It’s like stepping into a time capsule of your household’s activity, giving you a complete picture of any day in your Chorish history.
How to Use Time Travel
Using Time Travel is delightfully straightforward. Here’s how to get started:
-
Open Owner Details: As the home owner, click “Details” on your own member card on the dashboard.
-
Activate Time Travel: In the Owner Details dialog, you’ll find a “Time Travel” button in the management section. Click it, and the dialog closes.
-
Navigate Through Time: A banner appears at the top showing yesterday’s date. Use the Previous and Next buttons to move through dates, or click “Return to present” to exit Time Travel mode.
-
View Historical Data: Your dashboard now shows everything as it appeared on the selected date—chore completions, member activity, and notes.
-
Make Changes: While time traveling, you can complete tasks that were missed or uncomplete tasks that were marked incorrectly. Any changes you make are timestamped to that historical date, so they appear correctly in your records.
-
Check the Choreboard: When you open the Choreboard while time traveling, it automatically shows data for the date you’re viewing, making it easy to see who completed what on that specific day.
The beauty of Time Travel is that it works seamlessly with all of Chorish’s features. You can review member activity, check completion patterns, and even add or remove completions—all while viewing your dashboard from a different point in time. When you’re done exploring, simply click “Return to present” and you’re back to today’s view.
What Can Time Travel Be Used For?
Time Travel isn’t just a fun feature—it’s a practical tool that solves real problems for busy families. Here are some ways owners are putting it to good use:
Fixing Missed Chores: Realize you forgot to mark something done yesterday? No problem! Time travel back to yesterday, complete the task, and it’s recorded with the correct timestamp. Your chore tracking stays accurate even when life gets hectic.
Correcting Mistakes: This is Time Travel’s main purpose—fixing errors in your chore records. Accidentally marked a task as done when it wasn’t? Or forgot to mark something that was actually completed? Time travel back to that date and fix it right there. You can complete missed tasks or uncomplete incorrect entries, all while seeing the full context of that day’s dashboard. While the Choreboard lets you view past completions, Time Travel adds the crucial ability to actually edit those records, keeping your chore tracking accurate and up-to-date.
Historical Planning: Understanding patterns in chore completion over time can help families plan better. Time travel lets you review past weeks or months to see what worked and what didn’t, making it easier to adjust your chore routine for the future.
Whether you’re catching up on missed tasks, reviewing past activity, or just exploring your household’s history, Time Travel gives you the flexibility to manage chores on your own timeline. It’s part of what makes Chorish more than just a chore tracker—it’s a complete family management tool that adapts to your real life, not the other way around.
