Kids tick off their chores, you approve, and their balance grows. Kroni brings chores, allowance and rewards together for the whole family, at one price for the family however many children you have. Start with the free plan: one child and up to five active chores. Built for brothers and sisters Add every child, each with their own view, balance and allowance. Approve all of a child's chores with one tap, in the app or straight from the notification. Give a chore to several kids, let the first one to do it take it, or let them take turns. Siblings can chip in together for a bigger reward, and each pays their part. Chores that fit your week Daily chores, set weekdays, one-off jobs, or a few times a week on the days that suit you. Give each chore an emoji and a time of day, so morning chores come first. Not sure where to start? Kroni suggests chores that fit your child's age. Money, points or stars Choose a currency for each child: dollars, pounds or any other currency, or points and stars for younger kids. You can even make up your own. Set a weekly, every-other-week or monthly allowance. Kroni keeps a virtual record of the balance, and your family handles the real payment. The app does not hold or move money. Rewards and wishes Agree on rewards such as a game night, choosing Friday dinner or a trip to the pool. Kids can wish for something new and suggest chores of their own, and you decide what gets added. Timed rewards show a calm countdown. It does not block other apps. Help for younger kids Focus mode shows one chore at a time, with short steps. Read aloud lets the device read the chore out loud for kids who are still learning to read. It uses the voice built into the device. One phone each, or one tablet for everyone Kids can use their own phone or tablet, or share one. A shared device opens on a board that shows who still has chores left. Close the week together with a short note to each child. On iPhone and iPad Home Screen widgets show what is left today, or what is waiting for you. A running reward countdown can appear on the Lock Screen. Plans The free plan includes one child, up to five active chores, rewards and savings goals. Kroni Family adds more children and more active chores, at one price for the whole family. Plans and prices are shown in the app before you buy. Kroni is available in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
