For families with kids aged 10–16

Chores that kids actually want to finish.

TaskBuddy turns the household to-do list into a game worth playing. Assign tasks, check the photo evidence, and let earned points buy the rewards your family already agreed on.

Works in any browser — install it like an app on phones and tablets.

The problem

Reminders get forgotten. Charts go stale.

Most families land on nagging, a paper chart that stops being updated by week three, or a generic to-do app that gives a child no reason to care.

Verbal reminders vanish

Asking three times isn't a system. Nothing is written down, so every week starts from scratch.

Paper charts fall behind

They work for a fortnight. Then nobody updates them, and the chart quietly stops meaning anything.

To-do apps don't motivate

A checklist built for adults at work gives a twelve-year-old no reason to open it twice.

How it works

Assign, prove, reward.

You assign the task

Create chores with a difficulty rating and assign them to one child or several. Set them to repeat.

They prove it's done

Your child marks it complete and uploads a photo, so "I did it" stops being something to argue about.

You approve, they earn

Approve or send it back with a note. Approved work pays out XP for levelling and points to spend.

What makes it stick

Built around how families actually work.

Two currencies, on purpose

XP drives levels and never gets spent, so progress never goes backwards. Points are the spendable currency. A child can save up for something big without losing the level they climbed to.

Photo evidence before points

Completion needs proof, and you approve it. That single step removes most of the friction about whether a job was really finished — or finished properly.

No email address for kids

Children sign in with a memorable family code and a PIN — nothing like MEGA-VIPER-8481 requires giving a ten-year-old an inbox.

Both parents, equal access

Invite a partner, co-parent or guardian and they get full management access. Chores aren't one parent's admin job.

Rewards with real limits

Set what points can buy, cap redemptions per child and per household, and add expiry dates — so the reward catalogue stays something you can actually honour.

See who's drifting

Streaks, achievements and completion reports show which child is falling behind while it's still a small conversation.
