You already have a chore system. Shows and Chores makes it visible, trackable, and fun for your kids. Built on positive reinforcement — kids earn forward, help each other, and grow together.
Add your family's chores with values you choose. Low, medium, high — or custom. The app comes pre-loaded with common chores to get you started.
Kid does a chore, you tap it in. Takes 3 seconds. Pick the kid, pick the chore, pick cash or screen time. Done. Both parents see the same data in real time.
A separate kid-friendly dashboard shows what they've earned, how close they are to a movie, and a Family Board that highlights what everyone's contributing — including assists and teamwork. No logging, no editing — just motivation and connection.
Kid helps a sibling? Cash bonus. Work together on something big? Both kids earn. Do a chore without being asked? Double reward. The Family Board tracks it all — assists, team chores, self-initiated work — so kids see that collaboration is valued, not just individual effort.
Most chore apps track what each kid does alone. Shows and Chores also tracks what they do together. Assists, team chores, and self-initiated work all earn bonuses — and they all show up on the Family Board where every kid can see what the whole family contributed.
The competitive kid will still see the numbers and push themselves. But the system is designed so the best strategy isn't just doing more chores — it's helping your sibling, working together, and stepping up without being asked. The behaviors you want to see more of are the ones that earn the most.
There is no "debit for bad behavior" button. There never will be.
This app is built on positive reinforcement. Kids earn forward — through contribution, initiative, and teamwork. When things don't go well, that's a parenting conversation, not an app interaction. The system rewards helping, not just doing.
How a chore is done matters. The attitude, the quality, the follow-through — that's between you and your kid, in the moment. The app doesn't grade effort. It tracks what was earned. You set the standard.
Shows and Chores provides the rails. Every family's train looks different, but the track is the same: clear rules, consistent application, and kids who learn that good things come from contribution.
It tracks. It visualizes. It makes the invisible system visible.
