Girmanators
For families with kids 6–17

Run your family like a tiny economy. Kids earn it, you set the rules.

Kids earn their money, screen time and treats by doing real things you post on the family calendar. It lands in their own bank, where they save it, spend it in your family shop or invest it. The rates, the prices and the bedtime are yours to set.

14-day free trial. No credit card to start. One subscription covers every kid.

How it works

One loop runs the whole economy, and every rule in it is yours.

  1. 1

    You post what's worth earning

    A chore, a one-off job, a challenge or weekly allowance, on the family calendar. You pick the reward: cash, points or screen time.

  2. 2

    They do it, you approve it

    Kids mark it done from their own login or the kitchen tablet. You approve with a tap, and the reward lands in their bank.

  3. 3

    They decide what it's for

    Save it at your rate, spend it in your shop, invest it, or cash in screen time on an Android phone that unlocks on your schedule.

Why one app

An app that does one of these can't connect it to the rest.

  • Connected

    One calendar feeds one bank, which feeds one shop and one phone lock. A chore approved in the kitchen is screen time on their phone, and nobody copies a number across.

  • Customizable

    You set the interest rate, the shop's prices, every reward, the lock schedule and the calendar's colors. Nothing is a default you're stuck with.

  • In your control

    You decide which rewards wait for your approval. Every parent in the family has full control, and every rule in the house is yours to change.

The family bank

Spending, savings, Lock Boxes — for real, not for show.

Each kid gets their own accounts with real interest, real lock-box CDs, and real transfers. They watch a balance grow because they did something — not because a number went up on a chore chart.

And your money never leaves your family. You're the bank — we're the ledger, the interest engine, and the lessons. No third-party account in your kid's name, no card fees, no funds held by anyone but you.

  • Spending, savings and Lock Box accounts per child
  • Interest at your rate, posted every morning — watching it compound is the point
  • Lock Box CDs at a rate you set, a reward for leaving money alone

The screen-time economy

Screen time as a currency, not a fight.

Minutes are money here too. Kids earn screen time by finishing real things, bank it, and spend it when they choose. You set the rules once — the app does the enforcing, so you never have to be the bad guy at 9pm again.

Android only Scheduled device locks, app blocking, and bedtime that actually happens — enforced on your kids' Android devices, managed from your phone or any browser.

The family tablet

That spare tablet in the drawer? It's your family hub now.

Pair any Android tablet with a code and stand it on the kitchen counter. It wakes up as the family board and stays signed in for the whole family. Tap your own picture to act; a PIN guards anything that matters.

  • The calendar, always up

    Today's chores and jobs, the family's week and tonight's dinner vote — refreshed on its own, glanceable from across the kitchen.

  • Your photos when nobody's looking

    Left idle on its charger, the board turns into a slideshow of your family's photos, and one tap brings the week back.

  • The shopping list, where you shop from

    Out of milk? Tap your picture and add it to the list right there. It's on your phone when you're at the store.

  • Chores, checked off at the counter

    Kids tap their picture and mark their chores done in front of everyone.

Recipes & the dinner vote

What's for dinner? Put it to a vote.

Everyone gets one vote a day on tonight's dinner, and the leader shows up on the kitchen tablet. Browse by what kind of night it is, let Surprise me pick, or travel by flag through the cuisines on file.

Your family's own recipes live beside the rest. Everyone rates them, and a switch keeps the screen awake while you cook.

And the rest of the ledger

Everything else one subscription carries.

The big features get the tour. These just quietly work.

Google & Outlook sync

The calendars you already live in, pulled into the family calendar.

Location & gone-dark alerts

See where each device is — and hear about it if one goes quiet.

Family reports

Balances, earnings and progress for every kid, on one page.

Smart reminders

The app does the nudging, so dinner conversation doesn't have to.

GPoints, a currency you run

A starter currency for younger kids. You set what everything in the shop costs in points, so raise a price and they find out what inflation feels like. Inflation is real, and in your house you're the central bank.

Every parent, full control

Post, approve and manage from whichever parent gets there first.

Web + Android

Kids' controls and the tablet run on Android; parents manage from anywhere.

Built for kids' privacy

Your kids are the customers. Not the product.

Your kids' data is for your family's eyes only, and nobody here is selling it.

  • ✓

    No child emails, ever

    Kids sign in with a handle and a PIN. We never ask for a child's email address.

  • ✓

    No ads, no advertising SDK

    Nothing in the app is trying to sell your kids anything — except the idea of saving.

  • ✓

    Your family's data is never sold

    Location and app activity exist for one audience: the parents in your family.

  • ✓

    Export or delete, anytime

    Your family's data is yours. Take it with you or erase it from inside the app.

Pricing

One plan. Every kid. The whole ledger.

No tiers, no per-child fees, no features held back for an upsell. One subscription runs the whole family.

A chore app, an allowance app, a screen-time app and an investing sim — four subscriptions or one app where they're actually connected.

Three kids? That's about $2 a kid per month — less than one allowance.

The questions parents actually ask

Is the money real?

The balances are a real ledger of real commitments — but the funds stay yours. There's no chartered bank, no account in your kid's name, and no money held by us. You're the bank: you fund what they earn, and you pay out when they cash out. That's the feature — your money never leaves your family.

What do I need to get started?

Just a browser — set up your family, kids and first chores on the web in a couple of minutes. Add the Android app on kids' devices for parental controls, and a spare Android tablet if you want the kitchen hub.

We're an iPhone family — does it work for us?

Parents can manage everything from any browser on any device. Kids can earn, bank and invest from a browser too. Device locks, app blocking and the family tablet are Android-only today.

How many kids can I add?

All of them. One subscription covers every parent and every kid in your family — there are no per-child fees.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

You pick $5.99/month or $49.99/year. There's no credit card to start, so the trial simply ends if you walk away — no surprise charges, and your data is yours to export or delete.

Can't my kid just bypass the locks?

Enforcement runs at Android's device-admin level — it's bypass-resistant by design, and parents are alerted when a device goes dark or someone tries to tamper with it.

Is the investing real money?

No — it's paper trading with live market prices. Kids pick real US stocks and feel real ups and downs, but no actual money is ever at risk.

Your family's economy, open in two minutes.

Start free, add your kids, post the first chore. The first deposit does the convincing.
