The chore chart,
finally worth doing.

I built Coinkids for my own three kids — to teach them money is something you create. Paid chores. Family chores. Jobs they can pitch. Optional Bitcoin savings.

Why I built this

I have three kids.
They needed to learn this.

I'm a dad of three. I kept watching them treat money like it appeared from a hole in the wall — and treat chores like a punishment they'd been sentenced to. Allowance felt hollow. Stickers got ignored. Lectures bounced off.

So one weekend I started building. The model is simple, and it's the one we already use at home: some chores are paid work. Some are family chores — this is how we help each other, no money attached. And kids can propose their own jobs with a price tag — that's value creation, and parents approve it.

Then I added the part I really cared about — an optional way for them to watch their savings grow in Bitcoin. Not a wallet. Not a custody product. Just a window onto the future of money, set up by parents.

My three kids use it every day. Other parents kept asking, so it's on the App Store. Free. That's the whole story.

Three kinds of work
Paid chores
$

You assign it. They do it. They get paid for it.

Family chores
No $

Unpaid. This is how we help each other.

Proposed jobs
Kid → $

Kids pitch the work and the price. You approve. That's value creation.

The same model adults live in. Just at kid scale.
How it works

Five minutes. No accounts.

No emails. No friction. Just open the app.

1

Create your family

Get a 6-character invite code. Kids hop on with their own profile in seconds.

2

Set the three types

Paid chores you assign. Family chores (no $). And kid-proposed jobs you approve.

Paid Family Proposed
3

They earn, you approve

Kids complete the work. You tap the green check. The money's theirs.

$ Real money, real ownership
What's inside

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Three chore types

Paid work, unpaid family contributions, and kid-proposed jobs with prices you approve.

Real earnings

Full transaction history. Running balances. Parents approve every chore — no surprises, no shortcuts.

Family sync

Real-time sync across iPhone & iPad. Each member gets their own profile — no shared Apple ID. Works offline.

Optional
Bitcoin

Bitcoin savings — if you want it

You fund a wallet you own. Coinkids reads the balance. Kids see their stack grow over the years. Toggle it off in Settings if it's not for your family — the rest of the app works fine without it. Not a wallet. Not custody.

Read-only · Parent-funded
A peek inside

Two apps in one.
One for you, one for them.

Parents approve. Kids earn. Both stay focused on the loop.

Parent home — Needs Your Review queue
Kid view — Emma's home, streak and chores
P
Parent view

An approval queue, family insights, and the optional Learn track. Two-tap green check pays out.

K
Kid view

A focused chore list, balances, and the Propose-a-Job button so they can pitch their own work.

₿
Savings, watched

Optional. Read-only Bitcoin balance from a wallet you fund. Kids see it grow.

Optional · You enable it

Real Bitcoin.
Watched by real kids.

If you choose to turn it on, kids see the balance and price chart for a wallet you've funded — so they can watch their savings grow over time. They never need to know how wallets actually work.

  • You fund a wallet you own. Coinkids doesn't custody anything and never converts allowance into BTC. The app reads your wallet — that's it.
  • Easy viewing for kids. Balance, price, growth chart. Tappable. Watchable. The "number go up" lesson, in real life.
  • Off by default. One toggle. Flip Bitcoin/Savings off in Settings — the Savings tab and price disappear for the whole family.
No custody · No conversion · Read-only viewing

FAQ

The honest answers.

Is it free? +

Yes. Completely free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads. Ever.

Do kids need their own device? +

Nope. They can use their own or share yours. Each family member has their own profile, so balances and progress stay personal.

Is the Bitcoin stuff mandatory? +

No. It's completely optional — you choose during setup, and you can flip it off in Settings any time. When it's on, kids can see the balance of a wallet you've funded and watch it grow. Coinkids is not a wallet — it can't send, receive, or store Bitcoin. It just reads public chain data so your family can watch savings grow together.

What ages is it for? +

Designed for families with kids ages 6–12, but it works for any age. Listed in the App Store Kids Category (ages 6–8).

Is my family's data safe? +

Yes. We collect only first names. No emails, no passwords, no tracking. Data is encrypted and stored in your family's private cloud space. You can delete everything anytime from Settings. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
