The sticky notes

Great until one falls behind the fridge. Or a kid adds their own tally.

The spreadsheet

Last updated… sometime in March. Probably.

The text thread

The answer's in there somewhere. Keep scrolling.

Family Bank keeps everything straight. Every chore, dollar, and goal in one place, with a log of every change. Kids know where they stand. Adults see the whole picture.

Kids learn money by managing their own.

Real understanding comes from earning it, watching it grow, and deciding what it’s for.

Chores that actually pay.

Pick chores from a ready-made library, give each one a value, and assign it to one child or open it to anyone. Kids log what they did; you approve it, and the money lands in their balance.

  • A shared chore library to start from
  • Assign to a child, or first come, first served
  • Nothing pays out until an adult approves it
Chores with their values: take out the trash and water the plants are due, mow the lawn pays $10
Alex's laundry chore waiting for approval, $2.00

Saving, with a finish line.

Kids name the thing they want and watch the bar fill as they save. Every quarter of the way gets its own moment, so the long wait feels like progress.

  • One goal they can see every time they open the app
  • Progress counts their bank balance and their cash
  • Celebrations at 25%, 50%, 75%, and the finish

A 'Halfway there!' medal, earned twice

Wins worth celebrating.

First chore, first $50, a goal reached: every milestone earns a medal and a burst of confetti. Locked medals show exactly how close the next one is.

  • A collectible wall of earned medals
  • Progress toward the next one, right on the medal
  • A notification when they earn one
A '75% there!' celebration with confetti

Every dollar, counted.

Kids see what's in the bank and what's in their pocket, side by side. When they want cash, they ask; you approve it, and both balances stay right.

  • Bank balance and cash on hand, both tracked
  • Cash requests that wait for an adult
  • A log of every dollar in and out
A balance card: $66.30 total, $51.80 in the bank and $14.50 in cash
Cash log entries: a $12 birthday card from Grandma, movie snacks, and a comic book

The whole family, on the same page.

Kids get their own bank.

  • Check their balance any time.
  • Log chores and earn money.
  • Set a savings goal and celebrate progress.
  • Earn medals for completing chores and saving money.

Private by design. Paranoid by nature.

I build software for a living, which is exactly why I don't trust most of it: too much of it quietly collects more than it needs. So I built Family Bank for my own family first, and every decision about your data is one I had to be comfortable with for my own kids.

It's boring on purpose: no tracking, no ads, no email list, and nobody poking around in your data. It keeps what it needs to work and nothing else.

Brian— Brian, the developer

No tracking, no analytics

There's no analytics or telemetry code in the app. Nothing reports how you use it.

Strictly on a first-name basis

Sign in with Apple, then tell us what the family calls you, like “Mom” or “Dad.” No email, no full name on file, no new password.

Nothing to sell

No ads, no data brokers, and no one reviewing your family's information. Ever.

Private to your family

Only the people in your family can see its balances, chores, and history.
