Free Chore Chart & Reward System App for Kids

This app makes kids
want to do chores

Kids earn points for good habits. They spend points on rewards you choose.

See it in action

Watch how FamilyMeritTracker works

A quick tour. Log a merit, grow a tree, redeem a reward.

Your child grows a tree with every good choice

Kids love watching it evolve. 8 stages, seasonal changes, and hidden creatures that unlock as they earn. It gives them something to work toward instead of "because I said so."

The goal

Set up before bedtime tonight

Three steps. Most parents finish while the kids brush their teeth.

1

Add your kids

Type their names, pick a color, done. We'll walk you through choosing chores to track and rewards they can earn. Your first merit gets logged before you close the app.

2

Notice the good stuff

"You made your bed!" Tap, +4 points. "Homework done without being asked?" Tap, +10. It takes two seconds and your child sees it instantly.

3

They earn, they choose

"Can I have screen time?" "You have 15 merits, it costs 15. Your choice." They learn effort pays off. You stop being the bad guy.

Everything you wish the fridge chart could do

Built by a parent who got tired of sticker charts that lasted a week.

Catch them being good

One tap to reward what you want to see more of. Points are balanced so a child who tries always ends the day positive, even if they slip up once.

Rewards they actually want

You set the menu: 30 min iPad time, a trip to the park, choosing dinner. Your child sees what they can afford and picks. No begging required.

A tree that grows with your child

Every merit makes it bigger. Every season changes its leaves. Squirrels, birds, and hidden creatures appear as they level up. Kids check it daily.

Streaks keep them going

"I can't break my 14-day streak!" That's your child, voluntarily tidying their room. 15 levels give them something to chase. Consistency becomes a habit.

Healthy sibling competition

"Mum, I'm ahead of my brother this week!" The family leaderboard shows everyone's progress, including parents who opt in. Keeps things fun, not hostile.

Both parents on the same page

Invite your partner, your ex, or grandma. Everyone sees the same kids, logs the same merits, follows the same rules. No more "but Dad said I could."

See the big picture

A year-long heatmap shows which days were great and which were tough. Tap any day to see what happened. Spot patterns you'd never notice otherwise.

A gentle nudge at bedtime

Pick your time: after school, dinner, or bedtime. You'll get a quick reminder asking "Did anyone earn a merit today?" Two taps and you're done for the night.

Steal ideas from other parents

Not sure what chores to track? Browse what hundreds of other families use: "Practiced piano", "Fed the dog", "Packed own lunch". Add any with one tap.

Log merits from anywhere

At the dinner table, in the car, at grandma's house. Install it on your phone like a real app. No app store needed.

Your phone

Add to your home screen. It looks and feels like a real app. Push notifications remind you every evening.

Your laptop

See the full family dashboard, charts, and heatmaps on a bigger screen when you have a minute.

No signal? No problem.

Camping trip? Long drive? Log merits offline and everything syncs when you're back.

The first week will surprise you

Here's what parents tell us changes almost immediately.

"Pick up your room!" (said five times before dinner)

They check their balance, see they're 4 points from screen time, and clean up on their own.

"It's not fair, she always gets more!"

Each child has their own tree, their own streak, their own progress. No comparing.

"My husband and I can never agree on consequences."

You both see the same dashboard, the same points, the same rules. One system, two parents, zero arguments.

"Every evening is a screen time battle."

"You need 15 merits for 30 minutes. You have 12. What can you do to earn 3 more?"

Common questions

Is it actually free?

You get 7 days of Pro when you sign up. That means unlimited tasks, streak freezes, photo avatars, full analytics, and everything else. After 7 days, you can upgrade to keep Pro or continue on the free plan with basic features.

My kids are 5 and 9. Will they both get it?

The 9-year-old will love checking their tree and redeeming rewards. The 5-year-old will love the "ding" when you log a merit. It works for ages 4 to 14, and some parents track themselves too.

We tried a sticker chart. It lasted a week.

Sticker charts don't remind you at bedtime, don't grow a tree, and don't let kids spend their stars on screen time. This one sticks because the kids are invested in it, not just you.

My partner and I parent differently. Will this help?

That's exactly what co-parenting mode is for. Same kids, same rules, same point values. You both log independently but your child sees one consistent system. Works across two households too.

Do I need to go to the App Store?

No download needed. Open it in your browser, tap "Add to Home Screen" and it works like a real app with push notifications. iPhone, Android, tablet, laptop.

What happens on a really bad day?

We designed the points so demerits sting but don't wipe out a whole day of good. If your child made their bed (+4) and did homework (+10) but was rude (-5), they still end up ahead. The system rewards trying.

Tonight, try saying "great job"
and actually recording it

Your kids will wake up tomorrow and check their tree. That's the moment it clicks.
