Features

Everything a family needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

No bank connections. No debit cards. No real money transfers. Just a virtual tracker that teaches kids to manage their allowance.

Set it and forget it

Choose an amount and a weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule. When the parent who created the child opens the app, AllowanceKit adds eligible deposits automatically, including any missed while the app was closed.

Save, spend, give

Split every deposit into custom buckets like Save, Spend, and Give. Teach your kids the basics of budgeting without a single lecture.

Kid's own view

Kids check their balance on their own device or the family iPad — even with their own Apple ID. Big, friendly numbers. Look, but not touch. Optional passcodes keep siblings out.

The whole family, in sync

iCloud keeps every device up to date — yours, the other parent's, and the kids'. Scan a QR code to invite them, each with their own Apple ID. Parents manage together under the owning parent's plan, with no separate subscription needed for invited parents. Kids can only look.

Truly private

All data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. No servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. We literally cannot see your data. And it's yours — export your full history as a spreadsheet or backup anytime, free on every plan.

Goals worth saving for

Give any bucket a goal and a sticker — a bike, a game, anything. Kids watch the bar fill as they save, get a celebration when they reach it, and keep every sticker they earn. Progress shows right on your home-screen widget.

What happens when Premium ends?

Your first-created child stays editable. Additional children become read-only for you and invited parents, and their automatic allowances pause. Their balances, goals and history stay available. Renewing Premium or buying lifetime restores access, but paused allowances are not added later. Existing lifetime owners keep Premium without subscribing.

Does each parent need Premium?

No. The parent who sends Family Sharing invites needs Premium; accepting an invite is free. Invited parents with Full access can manage eligible children under the owning parent's plan. Only the owning parent's devices process automatic allowances.

Your family's data stays with your family.

AllowanceKit stores everything on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We don't run servers. We don't use analytics. We can't see your data even if we wanted to. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" — and we mean it.
