Turn Chores Into Rewards

Barnacle Bucks connects chores, tracking, and earned screen time in one app. Less nagging. More getting things done.

— One App, Three Jobs

Everything in one place

Assign Chores Instantly

Track Progress in Real Time

Screen Time They Earned

Set up tasks in seconds. Kids see exactly what needs to be done and mark them complete — no reminders from you required.

The parent dashboard shows who did what and when. No guessing, no he-said-she-said — just a clear record both sides can see.

Kids unlock screen time by completing chores — not because you caved, but because they earned it. The argument disappears.

Three steps, then it runs itself

1. Set up your family

Add your kids, pick their chores, and set the screen-time value for each task. Takes about five minutes.

2. Kids complete and check in

Your kids open their Kid Mode view, complete tasks, and mark them done. You get a quiet notification — no chasing required.

3. Screen time unlocks automatically

Completed chores convert to screen-time minutes. Kids see their balance; you stay in control without being the bad guy.
