Fewer reminders, more done. Kids turn chores into quests and earn rewards they chose, and you approve with photo proof. Calm, ADHD-friendly. Free to start.
PointUp helps parents share out family chores and make everyday responsibilities rewarding. Turn jobs into quests, add photos of rewards your children have helped choose, and celebrate progress with streaks, badges and weekly challenges.
TURN EVERYDAY CHORES INTO QUESTS
Tidying a bedroom, feeding the pet or finishing homework can all become quests. Build a family chore chart with clear tasks and Gold values. Bring kids' chores and daily routines together in one place, so children can see the next job and how it contributes to their goal.
REWARDS THEY CAN PICTURE
Create your family's own reward shop with rewards you choose together. Add your own photos so a favorite toy, a trip out or a family movie night feels like a real goal. Children save Gold, PointUp's in-app points, and redeem it for rewards you provide. You choose the rewards and their Gold prices, from extra screen time to treats or allowance.
STREAKS THAT MAKE EFFORT VISIBLE
Give children a reason to keep coming back. Personal streaks recognize regular contributions, while family streaks give everyone something to build together. Celebrate milestones and see how small jobs add up over time. With Pro, streak bonuses can add extra Gold and XP to completed quests.
BADGES, XP AND LEVELS TO BE PROUD OF
Completing quests earns experience points, or XP, as well as Gold. Children work toward badges and new levels, with a journey that makes their progress visible. Personal and family achievements give you something to celebrate beyond a check mark on a chore chart. Parents earn badges for supporting the family too.
WEEKLY CHALLENGES FOR YOUR FAMILY
Give the week a shared goal, such as completing quests together or building a run of streak days. Follow your family's progress and work toward bonus Gold and XP. Parents can choose challenges that suit their household, adding variety as children work toward the next achievement.
PHOTO PROOF, WITH YOU IN CONTROL
Choose one-tap completion, optional photos or required photo proof for your family, with individual settings for each child. Children can show their finished work, and parents can review completion before Gold is awarded. Match the checks to your child's growing independence.
FOCUS ON ONE STEP AT A TIME
Long lists can feel overwhelming. Focus Mode shows one task at a time, and subtasks break bigger chores into manageable steps. Calm Mode, reduced motion and adjustable text help you tailor the experience. For families managing ADHD or children who prefer a quieter screen, these tools offer practical ways to make the next step clearer.
PLAN TOGETHER WITH POINTUP PRO
Use shared team chores to let siblings work together. Set deadlines and daily, weekly or monthly recurring schedules, use task templates and sync with your calendar. Spend less time setting up the same household jobs. Parents can also take on their own quests and level up alongside their children.
START WITH YOUR FAMILY
Start free with up to 5 active chores, 5 available rewards and 3 family members, including reward photos, streak tracking, badges, weekly challenges and Focus Mode. Pro adds unlimited chores, rewards and family members, plus the Pro features above. See the app for current subscription options.
Keep your family up to date across phones, tablets and the web app.
Make PointUp your family chore app. Create your first quest, add a reward photo and choose a goal together. No ads.

Updated: amazing response from the developers! Fixed every issue I had almost immediately! Thank you! 5 stars!!Changed it so we can't set gold and XP to whatever we want. Minimum on an app that I am paying for the has no bearing on the rest of the world, makes no sense at all. If I want a quest to be low earning but still exist, why can't I do that? Also don't reject a quest if it's a reoccurring one. It will be stuck like that forever.Been a lot of fun using this app up until this week. Not excited for these changes.
Developer Response
Hi Mummbles65, thanks for the review, this is genuinely useful feedback, and I'm really glad PointUp has been fun for your family.Good news on both:On rewards, we've removed the minimum on Gold, so you can set a quest's Gold as low as you like (right down to 0) for quick, low-earning tasks. This is already live in our latest update (3.15.0), so updating PointUp will give it to you straight away. XP is the one value we keep managed on purpose: it powers the levelling system your kids share, so it stays tied to a quest's difficulty to keep everyone's progression fair, so pick Easy for the lowest XP, then set the Rewards to match your gold reward distribution following the tooltips.For recurring quests you also spotted a real bug: a rejected recurring quest could get stuck on screen. We've found and fixed that one, and it arrives in our very next update.Thanks for sticking with us through the changes and if anything else ever feels off, email us at support@point-up.co.uk and we'll help you personally.
Multiple Accounts Needed
wwest253
I don’t like the idea of having to set up multiple accounts for each child. My kids do not have their own devices, and it is cumbersome to log in and out in order for each kid to be able to check off their chores. I liked the idea of this app, and having the ability to set point value to different tasks, but it would be easier to use if all family members could track their lists from one dashboard throughout the day.
Developer Response
Hi wwest253, thanks for the thoughtful feedback, and good news: PointUp is built for shared-device families, so your kids don't each need their own device. A few things that should help. First, Switch Profile (in the side panel) lets you hop between family members with a quick PIN or Face ID, with no full log out and back in. Second, the Family screen shows everyone in one place, and the Quest Board has an "All" filter plus a chip per child, so you can see and manage every child's chores from one dashboard on a single device. Third, as a parent you can approve completed chores straight from your own login. You're right that each child is still their own profile you switch into rather than one combined list, and we're always looking at ways to make the shared-device flow smoother. If Switch Profile isn't showing for you, email support@point-up.co.uk and we'll get it sorted. Thanks for giving PointUp a try!

Not great. Crashes repeatedly and won’t work after huge initial time investment creating chores. Save yourself the headache and go with one of the other apps. Devs for Point Up clearly don’t care that it’s buggy.
Developer Response
We read every review, and yours stuck with us. Having the app crash after you'd put real effort into setting up your family's chores is incredibly frustrating, and we're sorry it let you down. We tracked down the exact bug you ran into, and the update fixing it is now live on the Store. PointUp is still growing, and we'd love the chance to make this right. If you're open to giving us another shot with this new update, please do. If anything at all still feels off, drop us an email at support@point-up.co.uk so we can help you personally. Thanks for taking the time to let us know.
