Pumpkin is the kids chore chart that ends the nagging. Assign chores, kids check them off on their own age-appropriate screen, you choose what needs approving. Reward with points, screen time, or an allowance Pumpkin tracks for you. Set up in 2 minutes. Ages 4 to 12, one price for the whole family. REWARDS DON'T HAVE TO BE MONEY: Points and minutes cash in for what your kid actually wants - a pool afternoon, a movie with friends, extra screen time. You define what their effort buys. WHAT KIDS DO ON THEIR OWN AGE-APPROPRIATE SCREENS: - Complete chores and earn rewards they actually care about - Build daily habits (teeth brushing, tidying, reading) - Track school tasks, volunteer hours and goals - Earn screen time through effort (not begging) - Set savings goals and watch progress grow - Complete money games and missions to earn P*Koin - Unlock avatars and level up as they grow - Chip in to Family Pots (shared goals set by a Grown-up) in the Patch Family Shop WHAT PARENTS GET: - One dashboard to manage every child's tasks, allowance, and progress - Recurring chore schedules that run themselves - Visibility of what is done, or not, and when - Screen Time Bank - they earn it, you approve it - Monthly progress reports on what they're earning and learning - Apple Family Sharing supported - No per-child limit - manage all your children in one household (your "Patch") at no extra cost. NO BANK ACCOUNT. NO DEBIT CARD. NO PROBLEM. Unlike traditional kids' debit-card apps, Pumpkin doesn't require a linked bank account or give kids a debit card. Pumpkin tracks your child's allowance in a virtual wallet. You are responsible for transferring real money directly to your child. Pumpkin does not hold, transfer, or process any funds. Kids learn earning, saving and spending by watching their balance go up and down, and parents stay in full control. BACKED BY REAL RESEARCH: Pumpkin's curriculum aligns with Jump$tart and CEE K–12 financial literacy standards, informed by published research and reviewed by experienced educators. Real curriculum-grade learning. BUILT BY A MOM WHO GETS IT: Pumpkin was built by Bridget, a mom drowning in chore charts and nagging battles. She wanted her daughter to self-manage routines, finish chores and homework without reminders, and learn money as she grows. She built what she needed, tested it with real families, and now yours can use it too. ONE APP. BUILT FOR EVERY AGE (4–12): Not a theme toggle, a fundamentally different experience per child. - Seedling (ages 4–6): Big icons, voice guidance, tap-friendly, simple cause-and-effect. - Explorer (ages 7–9): Badges, streaks, discovery, game-like learning - Achiever (ages 10–12): Stats, missions, goal-tracking, real financial concepts, optional retro pixel-art mode kids love No child overwhelmed by concepts they can't grasp. No tween insulted by a baby interface. PRIVACY FIRST: No ads. No data selling. No dark patterns. COPPA-compliant with multi-step parental consent verification. Your family's data is yours. Raise kids who earn it, own it, and grow from it.
