Below are short, direct answers to the questions people ask most.
The basics
What is Rocco?
Rocco is an iPhone app that turns real house chores into a daily habit. You do a small real chore, take a photo in the app, Rocco checks the photo, and you earn coins that furnish and grow a cozy virtual home that is yours. Rocco is also the app's mascot, a friendly raccoon in yellow rubber gloves who cheers you on and never judges the mess. See how Rocco works.
Is Rocco a cleaning service?
No, Rocco is not a cleaning service and not a marketplace for cleaners. Rocco is an app that helps you do your own chores in small steps. It is also not a kids' allowance app.
Who is Rocco for?
Rocco is for people who keep putting off small chores, have busy weeks or low-energy days, or live with a partner or roommates. Quests take about 2 to 5 minutes, so a full day of chores stays small.
Is Rocco good for people with ADHD?
Rocco is designed to be friendly for ADHD brains, with tiny quests, short steps and at most one gentle reminder a day. Rocco is not a medical or treatment tool.
Who makes Rocco?
Rocco is made by Kerem Kaya, an independent app developer in Istanbul, Türkiye. Rocco was first released on the App Store on October 30, 2026. Read more on the About page.
Chores and photo checks
What chores are in Rocco?
Rocco's six core chores are: make the bed, do the dishes, laundry, clear the clothes chair, take out the trash, and dust. Rocco builds your own small daily list from the chores you say you keep putting off, and you can skip a chore today, make it less often, or take it off the list.
Do I have to take photos?
Yes, every chore in Rocco is confirmed with a photo taken inside the app. Bed, laundry, dust and trash need one photo, while the clothes chair, the dishes and any mess need a before and an after photo. Coins are only added after the photo passes Rocco's check.
What if Rocco does not accept my photo?
If a photo does not pass, Rocco tells you in one sentence what to fix. Each chore gets 3 tries a day, and screenshots and repeated photos are not accepted. The Support page has more tips.
Do chores that are not on my list count?
Yes, any real chore that is not on your Rocco list also counts, such as ironing, changing the sheets or packing. You take a photo, Rocco names one step you can finish now, then checks the after photo. The reward is 20, 35 or 50 coins depending on how big the job is, up to 3 of these a day.
What AI does Rocco use?
Rocco uses Google Gemini, an AI service, to check chore photos. The app asks your permission before the first photo is checked. The answers in Ask Rocco, the in-app chat for cleaning questions, are also AI-generated, so test cleaning tips on a hidden spot first.
The home and rewards
What do coins buy in Rocco?
Coins in Rocco buy furniture and decor for your virtual home: beds, sofas, armchairs, rugs, lamps, plants, shelves, wall prints, and kitchen and bathroom pieces. The home starts as one bedroom that grows in steps, then adds a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Can I buy coins?
No, coins in Rocco are never sold. There are no coin packs and no ads, so coins only come from real chores. The optional buttons for character clothes never turn into coins; see Pricing.
What if I miss a few days?
If you miss 3 days of chores, your room in Rocco gets a little dusty, and nothing is ever lost. One quest sweeps the dust away. Kept weekly promises build a streak, and one missed week a month is forgiven.
Does Rocco send reminders?
Rocco sends at most one gentle note a day, at a time you choose. Rocco stays quiet on days your chores are already done.
