Pocket money for families · Invite only for now

One stone for every job done.

Chores on one side, pocket money on the other, and a lot of "did you actually do it?" in between. Dèanta keeps the tally so you don't have to.

Pocket money runs on memory and good faith. Both run out by Thursday.

Dear parent,

Who emptied the dishwasher? Was that this week or last? Does walking the dog count if you only went to the end of the road?

We got tired of the Thursday argument, so we built the thing we wanted. You set the jobs and what each is worth. Your children tick them off with a PIN of their own, and every tick puts a stone on their cairn. At the end of the week you get a tally of what each of them earned, and you pay them however you like.

That is all it does. No points, no levels, no leaderboards, no ads. It never touches real money and it doesn't want your bank details.

Yours,StevenFalkirk, Scotland

P.S. Dèanta is Scottish Gaelic for done. Nine stones and a glow is what done looks like around here.

Was that this week or last?

It doesn't matter any more. Here is what Friday looks like.

Trust first: Ticks count straight away. If you'd rather check first, one switch makes you the approver.
Two nudges, tops: 4pm for kids with jobs left, 7pm for you with how the day went. That's it.
No app store: Add it to the Home Screen on any phone or tablet. It's there when you need it and quiet when you don't.
No real money: We keep the tally. Paying up stays between you and your kids.

Questions people ask

Does Dèanta handle the money?: No. We keep the tally and tell you what each child earned. Paying up stays between you and your kids, then you mark it paid. Anything unpaid rolls over.
Do the kids need their own phone?: No. They can use a tablet or yours. Each child has their own picture and PIN.
What if a job doesn't get done?: Recurring chores are ticked on their own day. If nobody ticks one by the end of the day it's marked missed. One-off jobs stay on the list until done.
Do I have to check every tick?: Not unless you want to. Ticks count straight away. Turn on approval in Settings and they wait for you instead.
Can my partner use it too?: Yes. A family can have several parents. You email them a link and they see the same children and chores.
Is it in the App Store?: No. It's a website that installs like an app, so there's nothing to download and no updates to wait for. It works the same on iPhone and Android.
How much is it?: £10 a year for the whole family. That is the only price.
