A family app from Dr. Meesh
Kids who earn it, learn to own it.
No allowance. No free money. Kids earn through gigs, from chores to personal growth, and the app splits every dollar into Save, Give and Spend. Along the way, your family practices the life skills that make kids calm, capable and kind.
Best for kids 8 to 18. Works on phones, tablets and computers, and kids don't need an email.

The money you already spend on your kids becomes money they earn.
Treats, toys, friends' birthday gifts, the extra at the donut shop: kids pay for those themselves, with money they earned.
You set a monthly limit that matches what you already spend, so nobody accidentally owes their kid $500. Birthday money and gifts from grandparents can go right into their buckets too.
The result: kids who understand where money comes from, who choose how to use it, and who feel proud of what they've earned.
It's not a banking app. No real money moves through it. The app keeps track of what your kids earn, save, give and spend, and you pay them however you already do: cash, a kids' debit card or a transfer.
How it works
Four simple steps, every day.
1
Post jobs
Set chores and paid jobs, or pick from ready-made ideas tied to life skills: breathing practice, journaling, helping a sibling, trying something hard.
2
Kids do the work
Kids claim a job, finish it and send proof with a photo or a quick note. They can pitch their own job ideas too.
3
You approve
Get a phone alert, take a look, and approve or send it back with a note. Money splits automatically into Save, Give and Spend.
4
Kids choose
They save toward goals, give to causes they care about, spend on what they want, and reflect: was it worth it?
Save
For goals they set themselves, and the patience to reach them.
Give
For people and causes they choose, so generosity becomes a habit.
Spend
For the things they want, paid for with money they earned.
Beyond money
The skills behind the money, built in.
Earning is only part of it. The app gives parents and kids simple tools for feelings, connection and growth, drawn from Dr. Meesh's Student Playbook for Life.
Big Feelings
Tap what's happening, like a meltdown, shutting down or pushing back, and see which need is going unmet and what to try. Six steps walk you through it: notice, regulate yourself first, connect, set boundaries, consequences once calm, repair.
Life Skills
Five stages, Notice, Understand, Lead, Connect and Grow, with practices for each. Kids meet the inner Team of Scout, Heart, Replay, Tank, Practice and Spotlight, and learn to be their own Coach.
Connection
Ten minutes of special time where your kid picks the activity. "Caught you being" notes when they show kindness or courage. Daily check-ins so you know how they're really doing.

Behavior is communication. When you know which need is unmet, you know what to do next, and kids can tell you what they need in their own version of the app.
Made for real family life
No bank account needed
The app tracks the money. You pay your kids however you already do.
Kid logins, no email
You create your child's username and password. You can reset it anytime.
Phone alerts
Know when a job is done, a pitch comes in or your kid is having a big feeling.
A monthly limit
Earning is capped at what you'd spend anyway. No surprises.
Gifts and starting balances
Add birthday money, or carry over a balance from another app.
Growing responsibility
Let kids record their own purchases when they're ready.
Both parents
Invite another parent or caregiver with a family code.
