EarnIt Time and Allowance

Features
Read full description

Kids do chores. You approve them. They earn screen time or an allowance. You choose the reward for each child. No ads. EarnIt connects chores to rewards kids want: screen time for today, or an allowance for the week. A reward counts only after a parent approves it. Each child sees a clear list of their chores. The family works from 1 shared list that updates when someone finishes a chore. How it works A parent creates the family and adds each child. For each child, the parent picks screen time or allowance. Kids pick a chore, do it, and tap Done. The chore then waits for a parent to approve it. Shared chores go to 1 child at a time, so 2 siblings can't claim the same job. Each child can do personal chores, like making their bed, on their own. What kids see The home screen shows who is earning today. Each child has their own chore list, a streak for each day in a row with approved chores, and a level that grows over time. When a parent approves a chore, the child sees a short celebration. There is no public feed and no chat with strangers. What parents control A 4-digit parent PIN protects approvals and settings. In the parent dashboard, you approve or decline chores, change limits, and reset the day. Parent Tools adds weekly allowance tracking, encouragement notes, custom chores, and bonus minutes. Parent Tools is a one-time In-App Purchase. Kids use EarnIt at no extra cost. What EarnIt does not do EarnIt records the screen time and allowance that a child earns. It does not lock a device or change Screen Time settings on iPhone or iPad. Your family decides how to use the time a child earns. EarnIt is not a debit card or a bank account. Privacy A parent or guardian creates each child profile. EarnIt does not need an email address, does not show ads, and does not sell family data. App privacy label: Data Not Collected. Need help?

Remember every day that matters — and get reminded before it arrives Countdowns and anniversaries, both in one place. A friend's birthday, the day you got together, the day you brought the cat home, the day you got the keys to your own place, the day your baby took their first steps, the exam coming up. Write them all down. Get reminded on the day, or however many days early you like. Enter it once — the app builds both the countdown and the anniversary The home screen answers "how long until", the Memories page answers "how far you've come". Add "Together" and the home screen counts down to your 2nd anniversary, while Memories shows "1 year 3 months so far". Add a birthday and the home screen counts down to turning 18, while Memories shows "17 years 9 months so far". Seven themes, pick the one you like Seven palettes — cards, buttons, filter chips and page background all change together, not just an accent color. For backgrounds, use the built-in patterns, a solid color, or your own photo. Day books Sort your days into books: family, love, work, travel… pick the color and icon yourself. The lunar calendar, done properly Lunar birthdays and traditional festivals land correctly year after year, leap months included. Born on the 30th of the last lunar month? In years without a 30th, you'll be reminded on New Year's Eve.
