Tired of nagging about chores? TadaKids turns everyday tasks into something your kids actually want to do — and gives you simple control over the whole thing. Create a chore, assign it to each kid, and set how many Sparks it's worth. Your kid checks it off (and can snap a photo to prove it), you tap "Looks good," and the Sparks are theirs. They save up toward Goals they pick themselves — that toy, that outing, that thing they keep asking for. It's a reward chart, allowance tracker, and routine builder in one — built to teach responsibility without the daily battle. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT • You stay in control — every task is reviewed and approved by you before Sparks are awarded • Build real motivation — kids save Sparks toward Goals they actually care about • End the nagging — recurring tasks show up automatically on a weekday schedule • See the effort — optional photo proof on completed tasks • Celebrate wins — fun animations, an "all done today" moment, and daily streaks that build good habits HOW IT WORKS • Parents create Tasks with a title, picture, reward value, and optional note • Make tasks one-time or recurring, simple or multi-step checklists • Kids complete and submit; you approve or send it back • Sparks add up toward a personal wishlist of Goals, each with a Sparks cost • Kids Claim a Goal the moment they can afford it — with a celebration to match MADE FOR FAMILIES • One parent account manages multiple kids • Parents sign in with Apple, Google, or email — kids join with a simple 6-digit code (no email or password for them) • Get notified when a task is waiting for your review • Works offline and syncs across devices in real time, so the parent phone and the kid's tablet always agree SAFE BY DESIGN • Privacy-first and kid-safe: minimal data, no ads, no third-party tracking • Built for the whole family to use together every day Start with a 7-day free trial.
