What’s a good chore app for kids with points, not a debit card?
Family Odyssey is a chore app where kids earn points and rewards you choose, with no bank card and no money plan. You give each child their chores, they tick them off, and you give your OK when one is done. Kids need no account or email, and their chores sit on the family calendar with everything else. It’s free to start.

More about it
Why points instead of money
With points you can reward chores with things that aren’t cash, like screen time, a later bedtime or picking dinner. Nothing goes on a card, and there’s no money plan to pay for.
Your OK on each chore
When a child marks a chore as done, you can look at it and give your OK, so a chore counts once it’s really done.
A view made for kids
On the web, kids get a view of their own with just their chores and rewards. Leaving it takes your passcode, so they stay on their side.
Questions
Do kids need their own phone or email?
