Piggy Tasks
In development · not released yet

Chores that add up to something.

Your child earns stars for the things they do around the house, then spends them in a shop you stocked yourself. No pocket money app. No points that mean nothing.

Being built in the open. Nothing to install yet.

Three steps, then it runs itself.

You set it up once. After that the day repeats on its own and you only step in when something needs your judgement.

You add a task

Give it a name, a number of stars and when it should happen — every day, certain weekdays, or one date. Decide whether you want to check it or simply trust it.

Your child does it

On their own device they see just today's list. They tap I did it. Trusted tasks pay out immediately; checked ones wait for you.

Stars buy something real

You stock the shop — film night, a trip to the pool, whatever works in your house. They save up and ask. You hand it over and mark it given.

Two people, two different screens.

The same family, shown the way each person needs to see it.

Parent

Calm and in control

  • One inbox of things waiting for a decision
  • Approve, or ask for another try with a note
  • Every child's balance and history, always explainable
  • A second parent can join the same family
  • Adjust stars by hand when life doesn't fit the rules
Child

Big, clear and theirs

  • Today only — no backlog to feel bad about
  • One tap to say it's done
  • A star count they can watch grow
  • A shop they can browse and save towards
  • A simpler mode for younger children

Decisions we made on purpose.

Some of these are the whole reason the app exists.

Children don't get an account

No email, no password, no sign-up. A parent shows a code on their phone, the child enters it once, and the two devices are linked.

Stars are never taken away

There are no penalties and no fines. A missed task is simply a task that wasn't done — it never costs a child something they already earned.

You choose what needs checking

Making a bed probably doesn't need your approval. Homework might. Each task carries its own answer, so you're not reviewing everything.

It works without signal

A child can finish a task on a bus with no connection. It's saved on the device and syncs later — and the stars arrive once it does.

Their own device, their own screen

Built for a child with a phone or tablet of their own, rather than passing a parent's phone across the table.

Four languages from the start

English, French, Georgian and Russian — with more to follow rather than being bolted on later.

Where it actually is.

Honest answer: early. The thinking is finished and the server foundation is built and tested. The app itself hasn't been written.
