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.

Turn screen time into learning time. With Nupo, a short lesson comes before the apps you choose. Finish the lesson, earn minutes on that app, and keep the daily limit you set. It is a simple way to turn the screen time they already want into a learning habit. HOW IT WORKS 1. They open YouTube or a game you picked. 2. iOS shows a Nupo screen first. One tap on Earn time opens a short lesson from their own course. 3. They finish it and the app opens, on a timer. 4. When the daily limit is reached, the owl says "See you tomorrow." The learning happens in the minutes they were going to spend on the phone anyway. A REAL COURSE, NOT RANDOM QUIZZES Every lesson is a step in a course written for their age. Each course has 48 lessons, from the first idea to the boss level at the end. - Ages 5-6: Number Sense. Counting, ten-frames, comparing, shapes and parts of a whole. - Ages 7-8: Puzzles & Logic. Missing numbers, story sums, order and position, codes and clocks. - Ages 9-10: Think Like a Coder. Reading programs, loops, conditions and finding bugs. - Ages 11-12: Reasoning. Number patterns, logic grids, binary, codes and 3D shapes. HOW EACH LESSON TEACHES - A new idea first, shown with a picture. - Then questions on exactly that idea. - Stuck? A hint that nudges, never just the answer. - Got one wrong? It comes back at the end, until it's answered right. - A boss question finishes every unit. YOU SET THE RULES - Choose which apps need a lesson first. - Decide how much screen time each lesson earns, up to 60 minutes. - Set a daily limit for each app. - A parent PIN protects every setting, and you can pause Nupo any time. SEE THEIR PROGRESS The Learning tab shows where they are on their course, what's up next, their streak, how many questions they answered today and this week, and how many they got right. BUILT FOR PARENTS - No ads inside Nupo, ever. - Only you sign in, with Apple or Google. They just learn. - Link a second device to see their learning progress on your phone. - Lessons are short, friendly and led by Nupo the owl. NUPO PRO Nupo Pro unlocks the whole app, as a weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. SETUP Nupo uses Apple's Screen Time permission (Family Controls), which you approve during setup. You then choose the apps that need a lesson first, using Apple's own app picker. Nupo only acts on the apps you picked. Questions or feedback? Write to vishnu@internspirit.com Privacy policy: https://nupo.app/privacy Terms of use: https://nupo.app/terms
