Chores, without arguing about them every week
You agree once: who does what, what it's worth, and what they get for it. After that the app keeps score, and you stop being the one doing the reminding.
Seven full days, no card.
How it works
Four things, and none of them need you hovering.
- Every kid logs in with their own accountEach of them sees only today's chores, checks off what they did, and watches their tokens add up. It doesn't matter whether they have their own phone or share a tablet between siblings, or even yours: what's personal is the account, not the device.
- The photo that ends the argumentNobody else does thisAny chore can ask for a photo. No more "I did it" against "no you didn't": you see it, you approve it, and the photo is deleted right then. It is never kept.
- Tokens that are actually worth somethingChores add or subtract tokens, and tokens buy rewards you pick together: a day out, screen time, or the month's allowance in actual money.
- Nothing pays out on its ownEvery chore a kid checks off goes past you before it counts. You decide what counted and what didn't, on a screen you can clear in a minute.
And tokens get spent on rewards like these
Just examples: every household decides its own. Your kids can suggest theirs too, and you decide whether it's in and what it costs. The ones that work best cost no money: they cost a bit of your time.
- Picnic in the park with your parents
- Bike ride with mum or dad
- An afternoon of board games
- Bake something together
- Camp out in the living room
- Movie night at home
- 30 extra minutes of screen time
- The month's allowance
And what brings them back tomorrow
Doing it for one day is easy. Every chore list has the same problem: day two.
- The weekly streakDays in a row doing everything that's theirs. You pick how many and what it's worth. They watch it build and don't want to break it — which is exactly what a habit is.
- The weekly surpriseThe app secretly hides a bonus in a different chore each week. Nobody knows which one, so they're all worth doing. It's revealed when you approve it.
- Their tokens are waiting when they come backYou approve when you can, usually with the app closed. So the next time your kid opens it, the first thing they see is what they earned while they were away.
The first two come switched on, and you can switch them off in Settings whenever you like.
No app store involved
Habitribu runs in the browser: on the phone and on the computer, same account. Pin it to the home screen and it gets its own icon, like any other app.
- In any browserYou open the address and you are in. Nothing to download, nothing to update. You from the computer while you work, your kids from their phone.
- On iPhone, with SafariOpen the app in Safari and tap the Share button. Scroll down and choose “+ Add to Home Screen”.
- On Android, with ChromeOpen the app in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu at the top right and choose “Install app”.
You do not have to pin it to use it. It just saves you looking up the address every time.

Questions
- Do my kids need an email address?
- No. You create their access from the app and they log in with a username and password you choose. We don't ask for their email, their phone, or their date of birth.
- What happens to photos of my kids?
- Only a grown-up in your own household sees them, and they're deleted for good the moment you approve or reject the chore. We keep no copy and use them for nothing else.
- Does it work if my kids are older?
- It's built for exactly that age: 8 to 16, when they already have their own phone and the sticker chart stopped working years ago. Each of them logs in and runs their own tokens.
- What if my kids don't have their own phone?
- It works just the same. They can share a tablet, a phone between siblings, or even yours: each one signs out and logs back in with their own username, and from there they only see their own. And even on your device, the things only you can do — approving chores, changing rewards, billing — stay behind your PIN.
- Can there be two grown-ups?
- Yes, at no extra cost. You invite the other one by email and they see the same household, with the same permissions.
- Is the allowance paid through the app?
- No, money never passes through here. The app keeps track of what was earned and you pay it however you always have.
- What if I stop paying?
- Nothing is deleted. The household becomes read-only: the history, the tokens and the chores all stay. Renew and it comes back exactly as it was.
