A chore chart for kids that calculates allowance automatically

Paper chore charts work until the first argument about whether the bed was actually made on Tuesday. This one gives each kid their own list for the week, a tap to mark a chore done, and a running total of what they have earned.

Parents see every kid's progress and total earned in one place, manage the chore list, and set how much a point is worth. The week rolls over automatically on the day you pick.

• Kids see their assigned chores for the week and tap to mark them done.
• Earnings update in real time as chores are completed.
• Chores can be assigned to everyone, all kids, or specific family members.
• Parents set the dollar value per point and get an overview of every kid.
• The week resets automatically on a configurable day.
• Allowance deposits flow into each kid's Piggy Bank automatically when both apps are installed.

Families with school-age kids who want chores tied to allowance without keeping a ledger by hand.

Chores & Allowance is one app in a household library, not a product built around this one job. Some apps do only this and go further. Seven chore and allowance apps for kids, by what each one is for sets them side by side, and says when one of them is the better choice.

• A realistic weekly family planning routine that takes 20 minutes — A Sunday-evening routine for two adults: check the calendar, plan dinners, reset the chore week, settle the rides. Twenty minutes, four steps, once a week.
• How to make a family command center with an iPad or an old tablet — Turn a spare iPad, Android, or Fire tablet into a kitchen wall display in ten minutes: today's schedule, kids' checklists, announcements, grocery quick-add.
• A chore system that does not require constant parent reminders — Kids see their own list, tap chores done, and watch the allowance land on its own. Parents check an overview weekly instead of asking every evening.
• Seven questions to ask any family app before you put your household in it — Seven questions for judging a family organizer's privacy: who pays, where data sits, what apps read, what kids see, can you leave. Then a ten-minute setup.
• How to share the mental load at home, not just the chores — Chore charts divide the tasks and leave the remembering with one person. Name the invisible jobs, hand over whole domains, and check the balance monthly.
• When no family app does what you need, build a small one — Three ways to get an app nobody sells: describe it and the hub builds it, start from an open-source app, or ask us. What each costs, and what the hub checks.

Chores & Allowance is one of the apps in the Chickadee Bandit library. Every household starts nearly empty and installs only what it uses; there is no per-app charge.
