Children
Parents
Parent invite code
Family Circle
Add grandparents or another trusted relative. Their private app can encourage the children and send ideas, but cannot approve or change family data.
Kid iPad apps
No password. Add as many devices as you need. Create a separate setup link for each iPad/phone so you can see which device last synced. Every device shares the same live child data.
Appearance
Only Light and Dark mode remain. This choice is saved on this device.
Sound effects
Cute chimes, coin sounds and cash-register effects on this device. Browsers only allow sound after the first tap.
Pocket Hero sounds
Success, messages, money and errors
Profile pictures
Choose one of five Pocket Hero characters. The same character family is used for parents, kids and Family Circle profiles.
Savings Jar
A shared family savings pot. Set an opening balance and let children transfer approved Wallet money into it.
Kid transfers come out of their own approved wallet only after a parent approves the transfer.
Family rules
Edit the values here. Nothing goes live until you submit the full batch and the other parent approves it.
Automatic monthly pocket money
Age × Rand-per-year monthly.
Birthday extra month
Extra monthly amount on birthday.
Rule changes are staged automatically.
Chore List
Edit freely, then submit everything together for the other parent's approval.
Good / bad examples
Reusable behaviour presets with Rand and Hero effects. Pocket Hero can also learn from repeated manual entries.

No unsent changes.
Schedules
Choose when chores happen — once-off, daily, weekly or selected days.
Grounding & restrictions
Separate from money and Hero points. Bundle restrictions or choose them individually. The other parent must approve before it becomes active.
Leave all days unticked to apply every day between the dates.
Savings goals
Kids can request a goal. You can verify/edit the description, price and link, then approve it.
Kid requests
Movie night, treats, activities and other requests.
Meemaw & Ouma requests
Money/reward ideas from the grandmothers. Financial requests still become a normal two-parent reward approval.
⏰ Reminders & Alerts
Separate from chores. Completing a reminder gives no Rand and no Hero points. Create one for a specific day or selected weekdays; an optional missed penalty can apply only if it is not acknowledged.
Off by default. If enabled, the other parent approves the penalty rule once before it can apply automatically.
