It is a family organizer that turns everyday effort into Points kids can redeem for Rewards you choose together. "The instant +1 and -1 rules changed our evenings. Helping out now has a clear payoff, and the Don'ts finally stick." — Maya R., mom of 2 Download Chores Tracker and Allowance and start rewarding the behavior you want to see.

POINTS THAT TURN INTO REAL REWARDS Kids earn Points for work they finish, then redeem Rewards you actually want to offer. The catalog is yours—screen time, a family outing, or a treat you already planned. 3. HOUSE RULES THAT APPLY IN THE MOMENT Should Do and Don't items score Behavior on the spot. Help without being asked, lose Points for a Don't, and let the rule—not the argument—do the talking. 4. CHALLENGES KIDS CAN WEAR WITH PRIDE Set a Challenge the family can finish together, then unlock a Badge they can show off. Progress becomes something they want to keep, not something you have to push. KEY FEATURES 1. CHALLENGES AND BADGES Tie a Challenge to Habits, Behavior, Lists, or Pomodoro. Unlock a Badge when the family finishes, and repeat daily, weekly, or on a date range you set. 2. HABITS WITH POINTS Assign Points or a Reward to every check-in. Add negative Points to discourage a bad Habit, and choose whether everyone must finish or one person is enough. 3. LISTS AND TASKS Plan light teamwork: assign Tasks, set due dates, and attach Points or a Reward so the whole family can see who owns what. 4. POMODORO AND TIMERS Give a member a Pomodoro or a simple timer. Finish a focus block to earn a Reward, or grant Points for every few minutes they stay on task. 5. BEHAVIOR: SHOULD DO AND DON'T Score Behavior the moment it happens. Clear Should Do and Don't rules keep bonuses and penalties consistent for every child. 6. REWARDS KIDS CAN REDEEM Build a Reward catalog with different Point costs, control who can see each item, add comments, and cap how many times someone can redeem per day. 7. FAMILY MEMBERS Invite parents with a code, keep a profile for each child, and let more than one adult manage the same house. 8. TEMPLATES Start from 300+ ready Habits, Tasks, Rewards, and Behavior rules so you are not building the first week from a blank screen. 9. MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT Parents and kids can each use their own device. A PIN keeps accounts separate so one person's check-in does not overwrite another. 10. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See today's progress, Challenge status, and family activity on the Home Screen—no need to open the app first. 11.
