Chores on a list.
Payday on Friday.
Each child gets their own list of the week's chores, on their own phone. You set a weekly allowance and confirm it on Friday. Their money stays saved with you — you're the bank — until they reach what they're saving for.

- Clear the table

Ticked on her phone. You see it on yours.
1 The chores are on a list
Set the every-week jobs once. Each child ticks them off from their own phone and you watch it happen from yours. One-off jobs can be added any time, with a bonus if they earn one.

The receipt stays. Next week starts empty.
2 Friday is payday
Every child has a weekly allowance. Payday shows you the week — done and not done — and you take the full amount, take the suggestion, or type your own. A short week is your call, not a rule the app enforces.
Counted in Fridays, not in kroner.
3 The money goes somewhere
Pick a goal and the app counts down what's left in Fridays — “ten more Fridays” is something a seven-year-old can picture. That countdown is the lesson: waiting has a length, and spending makes it longer.
You're the bank.
No bank account at seven, no cash in your pocket, and coins vanish under the bed anyway. So the money stays with you: the balance is what your child has saved, never what you owe. A debt would make you a creditor and a chore an invoice. The balance on their phone is the account.

Every movement has a line.
- Money in
- Friday's allowance and any bonuses. Birthday money goes in as a deposit.
- Money out
- You withdraw when you actually hand it over. The sheet shows the cost first: how much of their money it is, and how much further it puts the goal.
- The record
- Every movement is kept, and each payday opens into the receipt for that week.
No streaks to protect and no spinning wheels. One celebration a week, at the moment the work turns into money.
What they see.
- Their own phone
- They pick themselves from the profile menu, behind a PIN if you set one. Their balance, their chores, nothing else — no settings, no sibling's money.
- The payday moment
- Their side counts the money up, moves the goal bar, and says how many Fridays are left. Milestones show up here — first payday, four Fridays in a row, a clean sweep.
- Asking, not taking
- They can ask for money, or ask to buy the goal. The ask lands in the family inbox and a parent decides. Children never move money themselves.
Questions.
Does my child need their own account?
No. No email, no password, no invite. They pick themselves on a phone that is already signed in to your household, behind a PIN if you set one — and that PIN lives on the phone, never in our database.
Does toldyou.to move real money?
No. You are the bank. The balance is what your child has saved with you, not what you owe. Handing over cash or making a transfer is a withdrawal you record when it happens.
What if the week went badly?
You decide on Friday. The screen shows what was ticked and offers the full allowance or an amount based on how much got done — but it is a field you can type in. Paying early just makes it a short week.
The rest is on the FAQ and how it works.
