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?

Steady Heroes turns everyday routines into something a child can see, follow, and finish at their own pace. Each "hero" gets their own visual routine, broken into simple steps. Tap through them one at a time, with an optional focus timer to help stay on track - and no penalty if it runs out. When things feel like too much, the built-in calm break offers a no-pressure pause with its own gentle timer. Finished steps earn stars, which can be spent on a reward menu you set up together. If you'd rather track a real allowance, turn on money mode and Steady Heroes will work out what each step is worth. Built for families raising neurodivergent kids, anxious kids, or anyone who does better with structure - but flexible enough for any household that wants routines without a fight. FEATURES - Step-by-step visual routines for each hero - Optional focus timer, never punitive if it runs out - Calm break with its own timer, no time limit required - Star rewards with a fully customizable reward menu - Optional cash allowance tracking - Face ID / Touch ID to confirm a parent is approving a step - Reduce motion setting for sensory sensitivity - One gentle daily reminder - nothing pushy PRIVATE BY DESIGN Steady Heroes works entirely on your device. There's no account, no server, no ads, and no analytics. Everything you enter stays with you - see our full privacy policy for details. Steady Heroes is a support tool, not a substitute for professional therapy or medical advice.
