Memoria — a OurHome alternative
Looking for an OurHome alternative because the app is abandoned? OurHome was pulled from Google Play and hasn’t updated since 2020. Memoria is actively maintained — chores plus the whole household.
If you’re looking for an OurHome alternative, it’s probably because the app is effectively dead: OurHome was unpublished from the Google Play Store (reported around September 2023), it has not shipped an update since 2020, and users have found themselves locked out with no path forward. An unmaintained app is a risk to the very records you trusted it with. Memoria is actively built and supported, and it covers OurHome’s core ground and much more: assign chores to the right household member, keep a shared calendar and lists — then add school circulars, vehicle and appliance renewals, insurance and an encrypted document vault, all captured from what you forward, in 12 languages. Where OurHome was a chore-and-reward game that has stopped moving, Memoria is a living household memory.

Switching from OurHome to Memoria.
There is no two-way sync — but there is no lock-in either. One-time, one-way, no data left behind.
- Forward your last month. Send your most recent OurHomeentries — school circulars, fee notes, warranty cards, insurance emails — to your Memoria number or email alias. Captures parse and back-fill in a day.
- Pin the Memoria reminder feed. Once your items are in, the calendar and reminder feed become the daily surface. Keep OurHome open in parallel for the first 30 days to verify nothing slipped.
- Cancel when you are sure. After a month of parallel use, most households unsubscribe from OurHome. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.
FAQ
Is OurHome still available in 2026?
Effectively no. OurHome was unpublished from the Google Play Store (reported around September 2023) and has not been updated since 2020, and many users have been locked out. If you relied on it for chores and lists, you need a maintained replacement — which is exactly the gap Memoria fills.
Does Memoria do chores and rewards like OurHome did?
Memoria lets you assign chores to the right household member alongside everything else it tracks, but it isn’t a points-and-allowance game. The trade is that it’s actively maintained and covers the whole household — school, vehicles, appliances, insurance and documents — rather than being a single-purpose chore app that has stopped updating.
Will my data import automatically?
Forward your last month of items to your Memoria number or email — captures parse and back-fill in a day. There is no two-way sync; the migration is one-time and the source apps stay where they are.
Is my data private?
AES-256 encryption at rest with strict household-scoped access controls. We do not read your data; access is gated to verified members of your household. DPDP-2023 compliant from day one.
