What happened to OurHome?

OurHome was one of the most popular free family chore apps — but it has suffered serious reliability problems. Thousands of families reported the app stopped syncing, stopped loading, or simply stopped working entirely, particularly on Android. The original developers went quiet for years with no updates.

A new version has since appeared under different ownership, but many families who lost their data and routines are looking for a more stable, long-term solution. If you're one of them, you're in the right place.
