TickTacker is the family ledger for kids' money, privileges, and activities. It keeps the record. You handle the actual allowance, cash, or rewards however your family already does. TickTacker is an informal household tracker, not a bank or payment app. It does not hold or move real money. Keep the score fair. See every child's balance at a glance, log changes in seconds, and stop guessing whether you've been treating siblings evenly. HOW IT WORKS • Earn — chores, reading, homework, helping out, or anything you add yourself • Save — balances build up, with history and charts showing how they got there • Buy — spending a balance banks the reward into My Items: a snack, screen time, staying up late, or one of your own • Use — banked items wait in My Items until your child is ready to cash one in • Track — log privileges that cost nothing, like picking dinner or choosing the movie BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES • One shared ledger for every kid in the house • Use dollars, points, stars, hearts, gems—or invent your own • Full history, filtered by earned, spent, purchased, used, or activity • Every entry shows who logged it, so co-parents stay in sync • Invite co-parents with a simple code—no password accounts • Give kids a view-only look at their own balance and activity • Works offline on your device; syncs when your household is connected Light money habits, without the lecture. Kids practice earning, saving up, and choosing what to spend on—while parents finally know who has how much.
