Skip nagging about homework and brushing teeth. A kids routine and chore app for ages 4–12 with checklists and reward systems. Allowance, savings and responsibility. Struggling with morning routines, brushing teeth, or homework? With Messy Monsters, it's clear what your child needs to do - so you can skip the nagging and start building new routines. Messy Monsters is a kids routine app for ages 4-12 that helps you create simple, sustainable habits together. With checklists for kids, tasks, and reward systems, it's easy to get started - and easy to stick with. You decide tasks together, talk through what's not working, and build new routines step by step. When your child completes tasks, they earn rewards that motivate them. As routines stick, you can switch to new tasks. We built the app to be simple to use in everyday life - even during busy weeks. Because what's fun and easy is what actually becomes a habit. We're parents ourselves, with kids aged 0-12, and one of us is a special education teacher. Many of our users face similar challenges: getting out the door on time, reducing screen time, and making bedtime work. You're not alone - and you can always reach out if you want support. HOW IT WORKS • You decide together what needs to be done • Choose ready-made suggestions or create your own tasks • Your child checks off tasks every day • Your child follows a "Golden Journey" towards a treasure chest (usually about 1 week) • Along the way, rewards make it more fun and celebrate your child's effort • When a treasure chest is reached, your child earns money (the amount you decide as a parent) in their piggy bank and unlocks new avatars • Once a task becomes a routine your child does on their own, phase it out and switch to a new one (usually after 3-4 Golden Journeys, depending on the task) • Your child can customize their avatar and background • Add automatic weekly or monthly allowance that your child will get independently of completed tasks. That allowance is also saved in the piggy bank. WHY IT HELPS The app is based on positive reinforcement and simple, everyday strategies that build responsibility, cooperation, and routines - making daily life easier. FEATURES • Visual view of two task types: daily tasks to practice and weekly tasks that recur on a set day each week • Reward system with digital rewards and money to celebrate completed tasks • Automatic weekly or monthly allowance • Music player with our own song to help kids wind down • Child view focused on what matters most to create a calm interface • Adult view you can use together with your child who doesn't have their own phone or tablet yet • Option to share your child with other adults • Free trial Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled. We care about children's screen time - this is an app you use together. If you have an account with us, we offer ongoing support if you need help getting started, developing your routines, or sticking with them over time.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

We're continuing to fine-tune the details that make everyday life more fun for your child. The avatar is now a bit more alive - it can get impatient if the Golden Journey hasn't started yet, and has picked up lots of new, fun sayings for your child to read along the way. We've also added an extra sparkle when milestones are reached, to celebrate a little more! Thank you for being with us - we keep building this with your children in mind.
