Why Bucko

Finally, a chore system that sticks.

Most chore charts last three days.
This one runs your whole week.

Built by a dad of two. Used every day in our house.

The tap that replaces nagging

They do the chore. You tap once. Points land instantly. Done.

Real money, not stickers

Make the bed 5 days → earn $2.
Miss it → no payout. Simple maths.

Streak chores for real habits

Set a goal — brush teeth 6 out of 7 times and unlock a bonus. Progress stays visible all week so kids stay motivated.

Both parents, one app

Mum taps on her phone, Dad sees it on his. Family Sharing (Pro) keeps both parents perfectly in sync — no shared logins, no shared accounts.

Safe to hand to the kids

Kids View hides every admin control. Face ID or a PIN keeps them out of the settings. Hand it over without a second thought.

Looks like an app they want to use

50+ chore icons to pick from. Custom colour. Big buttons, fast feedback, and a full-screen celebration when points land.

2

Questions

Good ones, anyway.

Is there a subscription?

Free plan covers one kid with up to 6 chores — no ads, no trial countdown, no account. Bucko Pro unlocks unlimited kids and unlimited chores per child, with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

Is it on Android?

Yes — iOS and Android ship at the same time. Same app, same features, same on-device-only data. Tablets too.

How many kids can I add?

One on Free, unlimited on Pro. The layout adapts — one kid gets a huge central button, two stack side by side, three-plus go to a grid.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Bucko Pro (iOS): iCloud Backup automatically keeps your data safe — restore on a new device with the same Apple ID and everything is there. For Android or free users, use Settings → Export Data to save a JSON backup file, then import it on the new device.

Can both parents use the app?

Yes — Family Sharing is a Bucko Pro feature. One parent taps Create Family Link in Settings and gets a 6-character code (like KOALA7). The other parent enters it under Join a Family. From that point every tap either parent makes shows up on the other's phone within seconds, on iOS or Android.

Can the kids use it themselves?

Bucko runs on the parent's phone — kids don't need their own device and there's no separate kid app. Kids View turns your phone into giant tap-targets they can use to see their progress. They can't change chores or payouts. One tap puts you back in control.

What age is this for?

Best for kids roughly 4 to 14.

Do rewards have to be money?

No. Points can be anything.
Money, screen time, treats.
