Kids push back on everything. Bucko turns the weekly chore fight into a game they want to play — one giant tap, a satisfying pop, and real pocket money at the end of the week.
Every parent has tried a chore chart. Every chore chart ends up at the bottom of a drawer by Wednesday. Bucko lives on your phone, pays out on Sunday, and makes kids line up for their turn.
Kid earns a point, you tap their button once. A satisfying pop, a confetti burst, done. No forms, no checklists, no "but I already told you I did it." There's a tiny minus button too — for when they're being little monsters.
Set "Make the bed" at $2 a week. Bucko only pays out if they do it 5 days out of 7. Suddenly brushing teeth without being asked has a dollar sign on it. Sunday rolls around, the week resets, they get paid, you look like a hero.
Every completed week adds to a running total. Kids can see exactly how much they've banked. When they want to buy the Lego set, you tap Mark Paid and the number resets. No more "but Dad owes me from three weeks ago."
No email, no password, no "create an account for your 7-year-old." Your family's data lives on your phone — not in someone else's cloud. No ads, no upsells, no one tracking your kids.
Tap "Kids View" and the whole phone turns into two giant buttons. They can't wander into settings, delete a chore, or change the payout. One tap to exit and you're back in control.
Every kid picks their own animal and colour. The whole thing looks less like a fridge magnet from 2003 and more like something your kids would actually show their friends.
Pick a name, pick an animal, pick what you call the reward — "Dingo Points", "Fox Points", "Star Points", whatever your family runs on. Each kid gets their own colour and their own big button.
Kid empties the dishwasher? Tap. Kid makes the bed? Tap. The streak ticks up on its own. Daily limits stop the "I tidied the toys twelve times on Monday" scam before it starts.
Sunday night you tap End Week, the total locks in, and a new week starts. Unpaid weeks sit in a list until you actually hand over the cash — no more "how much did I earn last week?" arguments.
In testing now. Drop your email and we'll let you know the minute it lands on the App Store.
No. Pay once when it ships — that's it. No ads, no surprise charges, no "premium features" locked behind a monthly fee.
iPhone first. Android is on the way. Sign up for notifications and you'll hear when it lands.
As many as you want. The layout adjusts automatically — one kid gets a huge central button, two stack side by side, three or more go into a grid. Works fine for bigger families too.
You can back up your family's data to a file any time and restore it on a new phone. iCloud backup is coming soon so it just travels with you automatically.
Yes — Kids View turns the phone into two giant tap-targets that kids can use safely on their own. They can't change chores or payouts, and one tap puts you back in control. Separate kid accounts are coming later.
