Stop nagging. One tap marks a chore done — your child watches their pocket money grow in real time, and Sunday pay day runs itself. Bucko is a chore chart and allowance tracker built for families who want simple, not complicated. Set up a child's chores in under a minute, hand over the phone in Kids View, and pay out at the end of the week. No accounts, no ads, no data collection — ever. HOW IT WORKS You create the chores. Kids tap the giant button when they're done. Bucko tracks what they've earned, shows their total savings, and produces a payout summary at the end of the week. Hand over the cash, tap Done, the week resets. Three chore types cover every family: • Per-completion — wash the dishes, earn 50c, repeat as many times as you want • Streak — make the bed 5 days in a row to unlock a weekly bonus reward • Special points — give kids points for effort, kindness, or anything you choose KIDS VIEW - SAFE AND SIMPLE Switch to Kids View and the app becomes a full-screen reward system. Kids see their chores and tap to complete them. They cannot edit chores, change payouts, or access any parent settings. Face ID, Touch ID, or a 4-digit PIN locks the parent side. One press and you're back in control. EACH CHILD GETS THEIR OWN LOOK Pick an icon, a colour, and a custom points name for every child — Kitty Points, Dragon Coins, whatever sticks. Chores have 60+ icons to choose from, with smart search so finding the right one is instant. NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Everything lives on your device. There is nothing for your child to sign up to, no email address required, and Bucko never shows ads or sells data. Your family's data belongs to your family.
