Chores, without the nagging. Piggy Points turns everyday responsibilities into points your kids actually want to earn — and rewards that you choose. HOW IT WORKS 1. You add the chores. Brushing teeth, homework, tidying up — you decide what each one is worth. 2. Your child completes them and earns points. 3. They spend those points on rewards you created: ice cream, movie night, a trip to the park. Expectations become visible, effort becomes something to be proud of, and you stop repeating yourself. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES • A kid-friendly side of the app. Your child signs in with a family code — never an Apple account, never their own login to manage. • Photo proof. Ask for a photo when a chore is done, then approve it or send it back with a tap. • An age-aware task guide, with ideas tuned to 4–7 and 8–12 year olds, so chores match what your child can really do. • Repeating chores — daily, weekly, monthly, or one-off. • Timed chores for reading or practice, daily limits, and per-child availability. • Rewards with a points cost, redemption limits, and your approval before they're handed over. • Activity history, so you can see exactly what was earned and spent. • Notifications the moment a chore is finished or a reward is requested. • Room for both parents and every child in the family, kept in sync. SAFE BY DESIGN Piggy Points is rated 4+. There are no ads and no way for a child to make a purchase — buying and settings sit behind a parental gate, and approving points requires Face ID or Touch ID, so nobody approves their own chores. We ask for the minimum we need from children, and your family's data is never sold. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Piggy Points is free to use: one parent, one child, three chores, one reward, and a week of history — enough to see whether it fits your family. Premium lifts those limits: unlimited chores and rewards, every child, a second parent, repeating chores, and your full history. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Japanese and Korean.
