Keeping score is for games, not chores
HomeRun is built to feel effortless on the surface and rock solid underneath.
Every tap sits on a framework shaped by research into how people share work, build habits, and stick to routines, so running a home together does not feel like "work".
Step 1 – Load it up
Pick from the weekly, monthly, and annual task lists we have already built so nothing slips through the cracks.
It's like starting the game on level three where half the work is already done for you.
Step 2 – Play fair
No one wants chores handed out like punishments. The app suggests what needs doing and when, then lets each person own their part.
Because fairness comes from genuine shared ownership, not a 50-50 split.
Step 3 – Guard Weekends
Once the split is set, the Rhythm Builder spaces jobs through the week to avoid pile-ups.
Weekend Guard keeps last-minute chores from stealing your Saturday plans.
Step 4 - Make it a Game
Celebrate the little wins as you go. Streaks, points, and surprise challenges keep the crew motivated, and every ticked-off task feels like a team victory. Even the kids might start racing to put the trash out.
And that translates to...
Dinner on the table without a 6 p.m. “what’s in the fridge?” crisis
Trash taken out before it becomes a science experiment
No frantic hiding of toys and laundry when your mother-in-law drops by unannounced
Our Origin Story
When we moved in together, we thought we had it covered. Between the two of us, we had spent nearly twenty years running large projects and leading teams. What’s more, we’re two highly independent people who knew our way around household chores.
How hard could running a home together be?
Turns out, it’s harder than we imagined.
Work runs on rules, clarity, and deadlines.
Home runs on trust and little, unspoken expectations.
Running a family isn’t about fixed rules. It needs rhythm — knowing when to step in and when to step back. And that’s why you don’t even realize when giving space quietly turns into holding grudges.
We wanted a way to share the load and still keep the joy. So we built HomeRun.

A Bit About Our Studio
We’re WITCH & WIDGET, a duo with one foot in design and the other in code.
One of us thinks in systems, the other in sentences. We’re on a mission to build clever, gap-filling apps for modern life — powered by the itch to fix things, caffeine, and the occasional existential crisis.
THE WITCH
Vidya Rajagopal
Writer, strategist, and the resident overthinker.
With years spent designing learning experiences for global audiences, Vidya brings sharp storytelling and user insight rooted in years of helping people make sense of complex ideas.
She spots patterns, crafts clarity, and has never met a draft she didn’t want
to tweak.
THE WIDGET
Akshay Dhavle
Developer, systems thinker, and the creative one who always sees the structure beneath the surface.
He brings clarity to chaos, balances nuance with logic, and turns half-formed thoughts into elegant, buildable solutions.
He's most comfortable when deep in flow, and slightly suspicious of
quick fixes.
