Chores made fun for kids, easy for parents. Kids earn money (or points, if you prefer) for completed chores, track their spending, and get paid out — all synced across the family's devices.
How do kids join our family?
On the kid's device: open the app → "We have a family code — join" → scan the QR code shown in the parent's ⚙️ settings (or type the code) → tap their name.
The join code or QR isn't working.
It doesn't expire on its own — it stays valid until a parent taps "Refresh QR code" in ⚙️ settings, which retires the old one for new joins (kids already in the family aren't affected). Ask a parent to open ⚙️ settings and share the current QR or code.
A chore isn't showing today.
Chores appear only on their scheduled days (e.g. weekdays only). A parent can check the schedule under ⚙️ settings → Chores.
I forgot the parent PIN.
There's no way to view an existing PIN — only change it. If another parent is already unlocked on a different device, they can set a new one: ⚙️ settings → Change parent PIN. If no device is unlocked, you'll need Family Recovery (see below) or to email us.
How do I delete our data?
⚙️ settings → Danger zone → "Reset everything" permanently deletes all kids, chores, and history (the family itself and its code stay, so you can start fresh). Or email us and we'll delete the whole family for you.
Can chores pay real money — and how do kids get paid?
Set an amount per chore and/or a weekly allowance in each kid's settings. To pay out, a parent hands over cash, or taps Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal to open that app pre-filled with the amount — Chore Jars never touches the money itself.
Can we use points or stars instead of money?
Yes — switch any kid to a custom points system in their settings if you'd rather they earn points/stars than real money.
I got a new phone — how do I get our family back?
This only works if a parent turned on Family Recovery beforehand: ⚙️ settings → Family Recovery → verify your email, then sign in with Apple or Google. On the new phone, sign in with that same account and tap "Recover" next to your family — no PIN needed. If you never set that up, email us and we'll help.
