A piggy bank for money, screen time, and savings goals

Each kid has a bank with a money balance and a screen-time balance, and a goal they are saving toward. Adults deposit, withdraw, and add a note; the kid sees their own balance and how close they are.

Install it beside the Chores app and the weekly allowance is deposited automatically.

• Separate money and screen-time balances per member.
• Savings goals with progress.
• Adults deposit, withdraw, and add notes to any bank.
• Kids see only their own balance.
• Automatic weekly allowance deposits from the Chores app.
• Full transaction history.

Families running allowance, and families rationing screen time.

Piggy Bank 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.

Piggy Bank 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. Your data lives in your household's own private, encrypted database, with no ads and no data selling. Browse the Family apps or read the source on GitHub.
