The Problem Are you tired of being the "bad guy" when it’s time to turn off the tablet? Do you struggle to get the kids to help around the house without a fight? The Solution Welcome to TechCredits, the simple, transparent "tech economy" for your home. TechCredits empowers children to take control of their own screen time by earning it through productivity. When they complete a chore, they earn credits. When they want to play, they spend them. It’s that simple. Key Features * See at a glance your children's tech credit/time balance * Custom Chore Library: Create a list of tasks tailored to your homeβ€”from "Empty the Dishwasher" to "Great Piano Practice." * Parental Ledger: A clear, unchangeable history of every credit earned and spent. No more "I thought I had more time!" * Weekly Leaderboards: See at a glance which child was the most productive this week with beautiful, built-in charts. * Instant Rewards: Use "Quick +1" to reward spontaneous acts of kindness or great manners. * Goals/Milestones: Ability to add 'Goals' for your children to work towards. * Visual & Intuitive: Designed for busy parents. Add photos of your kids and customize their profiles with their favorite colors. * Modern UI: Naturally light/dark mode compatible with modern design elements. Why it WorksTechCredits moves the "blame" from the parent to the system. Children learn the value of work and the importance of time management, all while earning the tech time they love.
