Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Chores is built around one idea: making local work as simple and trustworthy as possible. Here's what's under the hood.

Payment Security

Escrow payments that protect everyone.

Every payment on Chores is held in escrow from the moment a worker is hired until both parties confirm the job is complete. Nobody gets paid until the work is done — and nobody gets stiffed.

Payment held securely by Stripe from day one
Funds release only when both sides confirm complete
Full refund if worker doesn't show up
Dispute resolution available for every job

Job Discovery

A live map of work near you.

Workers don't browse a list — they open a map and see exactly where the jobs are. Each pin shows the pay and category. Tap to see the full posting and apply in seconds. Addresses stay private until hiring.

Trust & Reputation

Ratings that actually mean something.

Every completed job leaves a trail. Workers build a public rating over time that helps posters make confident decisions. Posters get rated too — making the whole platform more accountable.
