EarnIt is the chore scheduler, tracker and allowance app that teaches kids to save, spend, and give — with no debit card, no bank account, and no SSN required. Chores are free and unlimited; Premium is just $30/year. Unlike kids' "banking" apps built for teens, EarnIt is made for younger kids (ages 4–16) and keeps it simple: parents track earnings, kids build real money habits, and no one hands over financial details. NEW IN 2.4: • Kids can ask to cash out (Premium) — your kid requests a payout, you get a notification and approve or decline in the app • Chore Chart (Premium) — flip between Assigned and Completed to see the plan or the record for the whole family's week • Earnings & balance graph (Premium) — see what each kid earned each week or month, and watch savings grow over time • Sign in with Apple or Google — one tap, no password to remember MAKING CHORES FUN: • Kids earn badges and level up — from Rookie to Legend • A collectible buddy hatches and grows as chores get done • A celebration every time a chore is completed • Streaks keep kids motivated — and forgive an off day WHAT EARNIT DOES: • Kids see their earnings grow — motivating them to complete chores • Automatic money splits teach saving habits early • Clear chores and fair rewards help reduce household arguments • Designed for ages 4–16 FOR PARENTS: • Create daily, weekly, or custom chore lists • Set dollar amounts (or point values) for each chore • Require a photo on any chore list you want proof for • Approve completed work with one tap • Track allowance payments automatically • Set up earning splits (Savings, Wallet, Charity) • Unlimited chores — no cap SMART MONEY SPLITS: Every dollar earned automatically splits into categories you choose: • Wallet — spending money • Savings — for big goals • Charity — teach generosity Customize percentages to match your family's values. Or run your family on points, where everything lands in one simple pool.
