■ "Wait, how many was it again?" "100 points 10 times for an allowance." "30 chores for game time." We make these promises, then we forget. Kids have good days and off days too. On a 0-page day, do we trash the whole week? TodoBank saves your kid's effort and your promises into a savings book. Deposits add up, withdrawals cover off days. What got done actually stays. ■ How it works (3 steps) ① Parent creates a savings book (e.g. kanji, dishes, 100-point tests) ② Kid deposits the effort they did On off days, kid withdraws from savings ③ Note the reward (10 pages = a snack) Pick the cover, pattern, and icon. Kids grow their own savings book. ■ Never forget a promise again "100 points × 10 for an allowance." "30 chores for screen time." We make these. Then we drop them. The savings book keeps count, so "how many was it?" disappears. The notes field saves the whole deal, including the reward itself. For kids, seeing distance-to-reward makes today's one page actually mean something. ■ Smooth out the wobble "One page a day" is the plan, but motivation comes in waves. Some days 5 pages, some days zero. TodoBank lets kids deposit when they do, and withdraw when they don't. A zero day isn't a fail if the total still moves. "If I bank some now, next week is easier." That thought turns good days into bigger ones. For perfectionist kids, "I'm still going, even with waves" becomes its own confidence. ■ No interest paid Unlike a real bank, savings here don't grow. But they don't shrink either. What got done actually stays. Yesterday's effort carries into today. The daily reset goes away. ■ No cheating — passwords Set a deposit password in the parent settings, so kids can't inflate the balance. Optional. If unset or forgotten, a simple mental math problem lets the user in — kids never get fully locked out. ■ Lots of savings books Kanji, math 100s, dishes, English recitation… one savings book per task. Cover, pattern, icon, all customizable. Kids collect their own savings books. ■ This app supports families with · Strong ups and downs in motivation · "I missed yesterday, so forget it" all-or-nothing thinking · Perfectionism (less than 100% = quit) · Curiosity about money management · Promises that mustn't be forgotten · "How many more?" anxiety that needs a visible answer · A child with ADHD, ASD, HSC traits, or a sensitive temperament where steady follow-through is hard These are everyday realities for many kids. TodoBank uses the "it's accumulating" feeling to keep things going through uneven days. ■ Safe to use · Ads appear only on the parent admin screen. The kid's savings book view is ad-free. We don't track users. · All your kid's data stays on the device. Nothing is sent out. May daily parent-kid time feel a little lighter. ■ Sister apps "TodoFarm" — for all-or-nothing kids — a habit tracker that grows by the amount done. "TodoGatya" — for slow mornings — kids draw the next task from a gacha and start with a surprise.
