Tidy Story turns the daily battle over dishes, beds, and homework into a quest. Kids tap to complete, earn points, watch confetti fly, and redeem rewards you set. No accounts. Works offline. One-time $4.99 unlock — no subscriptions, ever.
No email. No password. Just set a parent PIN, add your kids, and you're off. Tidy Story is designed so a busy parent can set it up while coffee brews.
Install, set a 4-digit parent PIN, add your kids with an avatar. Optional starter chores get you going instantly.
Pick from 30 icons, set point values (1–25), choose how often it repeats. Define rewards you control — screen time, a treat, a movie night.
Kid Mode shows today's chores with big tap targets. Tap done, confetti fires, points land. For important chores, your approval is required first.
Most chore apps are spreadsheets with a kid emoji. Tidy Story is a game kids open on their own.
Create, edit, and delete chores with frequency (once, daily, weekdays, weekly), an icon from a 30-item library, and point values from 1 to 25.
Every completion earns points. Points build levels. Consecutive days build streaks. Level-ups get their own celebration.
Define rewards with point costs — extra screen time, a treat, an outing. Kids redeem; you approve. No real-money allowances, no banking.
Bright colors, 64pt tap targets, big illustrations, short labels. Designed so a 5-year-old can navigate without help — and a 12-year-old isn't bored.
A 4-digit PIN locks editing, settings, and approvals away from kid hands. Hand over the phone with zero anxiety.
Morning chore reminder, evening "unfinished" nudge, Sunday weekly summary. All local push — your schedule, no server required.
Flag any chore as "requires parent approval". Kids mark it done, you get a notification, tap to approve or reject. Points only land after approval.
Every Sunday evening, a one-screen recap: chores completed, points earned, top performer, streak status. Premium unlocks a printable PDF sticker chart.
No accounts, no cloud, no kid data ever leaves the device in v1.0. COPPA-friendly by design. Airplane mode is a supported state.
Parent Mode is a clean dashboard for setup, approvals, and insights. Kid Mode is bright, tap-forward, and full of celebration.
Everything you need to run the household chore system without becoming a full-time chore manager yourself.
Big buttons. Loud wins. Every tap feels like progress. The goal: kids want to open the app on their own.
Fourteen screens total, carefully designed so parents stay in control and kids stay engaged.

Sunday recap
Tidy Story brings every corner of the home to life with original art that makes chores feel like an adventure.

Everything most families need to get started.
Unlock everything. One payment. No renewals.
Purchased in-app. Restore on any device you own.
"My 7-year-old asks to check her chores now. Pay me once five bucks and I'll never have to scream about the dishes again? Easy yes."
"The approvals queue is quietly the killer feature. I don't have to be standing there to verify the bed was actually made."
"Tried five other chore apps. All wanted monthly fees and cloud accounts for my kids. This one just... works. No nonsense."
Install Tidy Story, set up the family in 60 seconds, and let the quest begin.
