Hari is a simple household chore management app. It helps you and your household members track, distribute, and complete chores fairly.
You need a license key to use Hari. Once you have one, visit your team URL directly (e.g., hari.quest/YOUR-LICENSE-KEY) and your team will be created automatically.
A single license is for one household. You can add as many household members as you need.
Chores can be assigned in two ways:
Work share (1-10) determines what proportion of distributed chores a member receives. A member with work share 10 will get twice as many chores as someone with work share 5. This is useful when some members have more time available.
Each chore has a difficulty rating (1-5). When you complete a chore, you earn points equal to its difficulty. If a chore is overdue, you earn fewer points (but always at least 1). Points help track contributions fairly.
Set yourself as "on holiday" in settings. During your holiday, you won't be assigned any distributed chores, and your streak won't be broken.
Chores can be scheduled in two ways:
A chore is overdue when it's past its due date and hasn't been completed. Overdue chores appear at the top of your list and reduce the points you earn when completed.
Your data is stored on our servers and associated with your license key. Only people that know your key can access your household's data. Still, we advise you to not put sensitive data into Hari. In the worst case that someone guesses or steals your key, they should not get more data out of your page than that you scrub your toilet every 2 weeks ;-).
Your personal pages are only accessible to someone who knows your license key.
The license key is a part of the URL to all your team's pages:
e.g. https://hari.quest/4R8KUUGL0JESMN222KIY (not a valid license key).
That means if someone does not know this license key, they cannot access your page.
Now this is not the same level of security as a username + password login, but also not trivially surmountable.
While license keys cannot be guessed in practical terms (they are like long random sequences of characters), in theory, someone could track your browsing history and see the license key in the URL.
We chose this method of securing your pages because we want Hari to be as uncomplicated as possible (for us, the maintainers, and for you, the user). If this would be an app that might contain sensitive data,
we would have probably used a login system of some sort. But given the nature of this app, and our fatigue of having to manage accounts for a gazillion apps already,
we think this a good compromise between ease and security - pretty easy to use, and provides a reasonable level of privacy.
Yes! Hari is a web app that works on any device with a browser. For quick access, add it to your home screen.
