Let me be the first sourpuss to say that "Get your shit in order" is a bit jarring for a headline.

In order to use a phrase like that, I think you need to balance it with something that offsets the shock, and you don't have so much as a screenshot of what you want me to register for. "Get your shit in order" doesn't build the trust necessary to let you have access to my information.

Your landing page copy also talks about what your product shouldn't be used for (keeping kids "on top of their chores") which basically eliminates a common use case before registration, but it's really vague on what it is you're offering me.

A new app I've been working on for groups to evenly divide chores. Good for households, shared workspaces, teams with regularly-occurring tasks, etc.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Please, screenshots or example pages or something. It's an interesting idea, but I'm not going to sign up just to take a look.

OK, fair enough. The marketing copy and a description of "features" is still forthcoming (not my strong suit).

Is this designed to work with multiple people doing same chores, how interaction should be done?

The idea is that you have a set of chores that need to be split up evenly. The typical use case is a household. The app will take all of the chores you define for a group and split them up evenly and randomly among the members of the group.
