Chore Visuals: Give Every Chore a Face with Photos, Icons, and Safe Web Search

What & Why

Young children have an innate desire to help around the home, often long before they can read written words like "Empty the dishwasher." Providing clear visual cues welcomes younger kids into daily routines and helps them take pride in contributing to the family community.

With Chore Visuals, Rezzyl gives every chore an unmistakable face. Parents can browse a curated vector library of over 100 theme-adaptive icons, search kid-safe photos and illustrations without leaving the app, or upload a photo of their actual home appliances with an interactive in-browser cropping tool.

Key Capabilities

  • Curated Vector Icon Library: Browse 100+ clean, single-color icons organized across household categories (cleaning, kitchen, bathroom, pets, yard, habits, maintenance) that automatically adapt to light and dark themes.
  • Safe Web Image Search: Search high-quality, family-safe illustrations and photos directly within the icon picker dialog—eliminating external image searching or URL copy-pasting.
  • Device Photo Upload & 1:1 Cropper: Upload photos straight from your mobile camera roll or computer with an interactive square cropping and zoom interface.
  • Instant Recognition on Charts & Cards: Visuals scale crisply from 24px chart chips to 56px detail views across mobile and desktop.

Real-World Scenarios

  • The Real Dishwasher: Snap a quick photo of your actual kitchen dishwasher so kids know exactly which appliance to help unload.
  • Pet Care: Upload a photo of the family pet so feeding, walking, and brushing tasks stand out instantly for pre-readers.
  • Room Icons: Use curated vector icons (like a vacuum, lawn mower, or bed) for clean, minimalist daily lists.

Next Steps

Open any chore in your Chores library and tap the icon to explore the new visual picker, search web illustrations, or upload custom photos.
