Points and a points board
Optional points per chore, and a board that shows the totals. Kids can trade them for rewards.
Tasks and chores, part of Work
Chores that rotate themselves.
Tasks with an owner and a due date. Chores that move to the next person when they are done. Points kids can trade for rewards, an allowance with jars, and routines that start fresh every morning.
Tasks
Everything a task needs, nothing it doesn’t.
Each task has an assignee, a due date, a priority, a checklist, a repeat and notes. It shows up on the calendar on its due date, and in the weekly brief as overdue, upcoming or yours.
- Assignee and due date
- Priority and a checklist
- Repeats and notes
Rotation
Done means it is someone else’s turn.
Give a chore a rotation, like Nora, then Theo, then Dev. When the person on duty marks it done, the chore passes to the next person and its next due date is set. Nobody keeps a chart on the fridge.
The extras
Small things that make it stick.
Errands
A task with a place: “pick up the prescription”, “return the drill”.
Tasks from a sentence
“John needs to fill up the car” in Tell the house becomes a task for John.
Rewards
Points they can spend.
Adults set up rewards that kids and teens can trade their chore points for: extra screen time, a treat, picking the Friday movie, an outing. Each reward has a cost in points and, if you like, a limit per week.
A kid asks, an adult approves, and the points come off. If there are not enough points yet, it waits.
- Rewards with a cost in points
- Ask, then an adult approves or declines
- An optional limit per week
Kids’ allowance
Spend, save and give.
Set an allowance for each child, weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly, and it is paid on schedule into their wallet, split into spend, save and give jars. Chores can pay too. Kids ask to spend from their jar, and an adult says yes or no.
- Jars you choose, starting at 70, 20 and 10 percent
- Chores that pay into the spend jar
- Spend requests that wait for an adult
Kinnomy keeps track of the allowance. It does not hold or move real money.
Checklists and routines
Mornings that run themselves.
Keep reusable checklists for packing, cleaning, moving, a new school year or hosting guests, from built-in templates or your own. Give a child a morning routine and a bedtime routine that start fresh every day, so yesterday’s ticks never count for today.
- Templates for the lists that come back
- Daily routines for kids, fresh every morning
- Children can tick their own lists

Questions
About tasks and chores
Can a child without a login have chores?
Yes. Profiles without a login can be in a rotation and earn points. An adult marks their chores done for them.
Do points turn into anything?
If you want them to. Adults can set up rewards, like screen time or an outing, that kids and teens trade their points for. An adult approves each one.
Do routines need resetting every day?
No. A routine starts fresh every day on its own. Yesterday’s ticks do not count today.
Does the allowance move real money?
No. Kinnomy keeps track of what each child has in spend, save and give. The cash stays wherever your family keeps it.
Is it on the Free plan?
Yes. Tasks, chores, rewards, allowance, checklists, routines and the rotation automation are all on Free.
