Great for young kids, teens, and ADHD too - One app for the whole family! Points work wonders for younger kids, while cash and weekly allowance are great for teens. Stop begging your kids to do their chores. With Privilege Points, they'll beg YOU for the chance to earn rewards instead. Set up a chore checklist for each child, assign points or cash to every task, and let them earn the privileges that actually motivate them — screen time, allowance money, a sleepover. The chore tracker keeps everyone accountable without the nagging. GREAT FOR ADHD & BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES Chore charts and point systems are recommended by child psychologists for kids with ADHD, autism, and behavior challenges. Visual task lists, immediate rewards, and consistent routines help kids stay focused and build responsibility. The built-in behavior tracker and penalty system give parents a complete tool for encouraging good behavior — and parents of kids with ADHD consistently report fewer fights and more cooperation. FLEXIBLE FOR EVERY FAMILY Most chore apps force you into their system. Privilege Points adapts to yours. Mix points and cash. Reward good behaviors and penalize bad ones. Use it for chore tracking, behavior management, screen time limits, or allowance — or all of the above. You define the point values, the cost of each privilege, and the fine for every penalty. POINTS FOR KIDS, CASH FOR TEENS Younger kids love earning points and spending them on fun privileges. Older kids respond better to real money — Privilege Points grows with your family. Create cash chores and privileges to manage weekly allowance, or let older kids earn toward a savings goal. You decide when and how to introduce each child to money. CHORE CHART & DAILY ROUTINE Build a daily chore routine for each child with required tasks pinned to the top of their list. Add optional chores for extra earning opportunities. Set deadlines, frequency limits, and rotating assignments. Add good behaviors alongside chores to reinforce habits and responsibility. POINT AND PRIVILEGE REQUESTS Kids request points and privileges directly from their own phones. Parents review and approve — or deny — from theirs. No auto-crediting without your sign-off. Everyone stays in sync with instant notifications for every completed task and approved privilege. TASK REMINDERS & BACKDATING Set configurable reminders per child and per chore. Forgot to approve something yesterday? Backdating keeps your records accurate without the stress. TIMED PRIVILEGES AND PENALTIES A built-in timer tracks screen time limits and timed penalties across multiple kids simultaneously — no more manual timekeeping. ALWAYS IN SYNC All data lives securely in the cloud. Parents, grandparents, sitters, and caregivers can all participate. Install on as many devices as you'd like. CHILD LOCK Lock any device in read-only mode for a specific child or as a shared family device. Kids see their task list and point total — but can't change anything. ACTIVITY HISTORY A full record of every point earned and every privilege granted. Invaluable when there's any disagreement about what was completed. Download Privilege Points today and stop negotiating with your kids about chores.

Great App!!

I absolutely love this app! I’m a mother of four and it’s exhausting having to nag my teenagers to do their daily chores and hygiene tasks. Now I don’t have to! The responsibility is truly on them to either ignore the apps reminders or complete the task. And less nagging from me = happier home. They absolutely love the system-I even did some Level Up rewards where they could get free points after they earned so many! There’s really only two things I don’t like about the app. The first is if you set a mandatory daily task, it must be sent through even if the child chose not to do it. So if my teen decides they don’t want to clean the kitchen today, it will show up as a red notification telling them to complete it. They get annoyed by the red notification showing how many tasks aren’t done yet so I wish you could turn that off and ease their anxiety a bit. Second thing I don’t like is the display of daily tasks. It’s one big long list and can really feel overwhelming when you have the Zoomed text feature on your phone. It would be nice if it just had a square box showing the emojis and the kids could click on the emoji to see the task. It would also be nice if there were some pre-made tasks and rewards you could choose from a template. Other than that, I really love it. It’s our first week so I’m sure there’s more to love but it’s really been a lifesaver.

Love this app!!! We have tried so many systems for rewards and punishments with our kids, and this is the only thing that has worked. It’s free. It’s simple. It’s easily customizable. It’s shareable. And it works for multiple kids. It gives kids clear expectations and consequences. You have it wherever you go, so you can instantly add or take away points depending on behavior. Additionally, my husband and I can both access the account to add or subtract points; and we are notified when the other has awarded or removed points, so we are on the same page with parenting. We use it for chores, for positive reinforcement (of things like being kind or helpful or honest), for creating good habits (brushing teeth, being ready for the bus on time, for making your bed, etc), and for accountability (getting along with siblings or being respectful to parents/teachers/bus driver). You choose privileges that they really want to work toward earning and consequences that you know they want to avoid....and the nice thing is that you choose whatever you want and however many points it’s worth. I also appreciate that when you implement a privilege or consequence that has a time limit (like 1 hour of computer time), it automatically starts a timer when you award that privilege/penalty. Great app! Great tool!

The organization and flexibility of this app keeps the kids engaged

Hands down, this app is amazing. All the systems I’ve used with my kids is neatly packaged in one little app. I set adult accounts for family and babysitters so they can continue to earn points and privileges and the consistency makes it that much more effective!! We’ve been using it for 3 months now for my kids ages 6, 9, 11, 14. Where other systems like this would lose the appeal and fall to the wayside, the organization and flexibility of this app keeps the kids engaged so that it remains effective. The frequency and intensity of meltdowns and nagging and fighting over screen time have significantly decreased. They are actually super excited about “earning” privileges, and constantly keep up with how much points they have and what they can do to earn more. I love how you can edit each task and privilege. You can customize it to each child and limit how many times they can complete a task in any given time frame. I love the timers for the screen time, and have set timers for certain “penalties” so that if they have a time out for it, it has a timer I can set. There’s been the occasional time when my 6 year old is playing on my phone and he goes in and gives himself a ton of points, but I am able to go to the history and see it all, and “undo” it. If we miss a daily task, I can still award it to them even if it says it’s already been done that day. It just doesn’t show which day, but that’s not a big deal to me. Overall, it has reduced contention and complaining tremendously in our home and I recommend it to every parent!!

Perfect solution so far

I’m on my trial period but plan to subscribe! As parents, burden as on the us to hold kids accountable to responsibilities but it’s EXHAUSTING. This app has made it way easier as a communication tool/aide to help that but still give parents access. Kids get reminder prompts to complete THEIR tasks and parents have the option to remind them also. I like the linkage to screen times, just need to figure it out. If I could change anything it would be modifying the “anytime” tasks to bonus tasks and the ability to show it as such. Like, “surprise! Mom just dropped a bonus gig and is giving $5 to complete by the end of the day!” Something like that. Otherwise, the same anytime gigs appear and the unmotivated kids become desensitized to them. Also, completing tasks that have cash value (vs points) don’t have a clear usability when it comes to redemption. The spend tab appears to favor points redemption for privileges, but maybe cash balance can have its own cash spend bucket? I know my oldest has a few toys in mind that are on her wish list, would be nice to assign those as a dollar value. Otherwise, everything about this app wins over the others so far and I’m only on day 3!
