A private household app
Baumy Olympics
Baumy Olympics is a private household app for the people who live in one house: a shared calendar, chores as bounties worth points, the shopping list, reminders, and Baumy the pixel cat as the house assistant.
How it works
Bounties
Household jobs are bounties worth points. Consumables are things to buy or refill; maintenance is cleaning and fixing.
A bounty is ready, or cooling down after someone did it, and says when it can be done again.
Streaks
Do the same job again and again and your streak grows: each time in a row adds 25% of the job's points, so the third in a row pays 150%.
Do a job while someone else holds its streak and you break it, for a bonus of 20% of the job's points for each job in their run (up to 200%). Breaking a streak never takes points from them.
The season and the pot
A season is one calendar year, and streaks start over on 1 January. Through the year the house puts money into a savings pot.
When the season ends, whoever has the most points takes the whole pot.
Confirmations
Log a job you did and it usually counts straight away. For 24 hours your housemates can confirm it, or dispute it with a reason.
You can add a photo as proof, and a job can ask for one. Logged it by mistake? Undo it within 10 minutes.
The kitchen screen
An iPad in the kitchen shows the month's calendar, the bounties and the board. Tap your face to act as you (some things ask for your PIN).
A reminder fills the screen until everyone has tapped "I've seen it". At night, or after 5 minutes untouched, raccoons take over as the screensaver.
Baumy the cat
Ask Baumy by typing, or by voice where it's set up, for example "who's winning?" or "I took the bins out". Baumy answers, and anything it would change comes back as a proposal for you to approve first.
Baumy is in the house's Telegram group too, and asks you to confirm with a button before anything important.
Who can use it
Only the housemates: the house's founders, and people the admin invites. Anyone can create an account, but it opens nothing without an invite code. It is not a commercial service: there are no ads, nothing is sold, and nobody pays for it.
