# Apps for running a home and family

Mousepad builds the small tools a household runs on, and Browse has working ones to start from: a chore rotation that hands each job to the next person, a plant list that moves each watering date along, a record of the car's services, a checklist timed to moving day. Clone the closest one, then describe in the chat how your family does things.

## Questions

**How does the chore rotation decide whose turn it is?**

Each chore repeats on the interval you give it. Marking it done moves its due date along and hands it to the next person in the household. Ask Mousepad in the chat to change the order or skip someone for a week.

**Can I keep a separate record for each pet?**

Yes. Pet passport has a profile for each pet and a timeline you can filter by pet. Ask in the chat to add what you keep track of, like a feeding routine or a sitter's phone number.

**What happens to the moving checklist if the move date changes?**

Each task's date is counted from the move date, so a new date moves every task with it. The list filters to before, on and after moving day. To change the tasks themselves, ask Mousepad in the chat.

**Can I plan a garden across seasons?**

Yes. A plot of your own lets you draw named beds on a grid, give each bed its crops, and switch between seasons to see what grew where. Plant today works out a follow-up schedule from a sowing date.
