A chore chart and allowance tracker for families. Kids check off chores, finish full weeks and earn their allowance. Buckaroo keeps track of what's owed. It doesn't hold or move any money: you pay your kids yourself.

A full week means every chore was checked off every day, Sunday through Saturday. When the week is complete, that kid's weekly allowance is added to what they're owed on Saturday.

Yes. On the Chores tab, tap the back arrow next to the date to go back up to 7 days and check off what was done. For older days, open the Calendar tab and tap a past day to mark it done or not done.

Days already recorded keep their results. Changes to the chore list apply from that day on.

Yes. On the Money tab, use Add money to [name]'s savings. Enter the amount and what it's from, like a birthday gift. It's added to what you're holding for them, and if investing is on it grows like the rest.

Open the Money tab, pick the kid, enter the amount you paid and tap Mark paid. The amount comes off what's owed and is added to the running total of payments. To undo a payment, tap the × next to it.

In Settings, turn on Invest unpaid money for a kid and set a yearly rate. Money that hasn't been paid out grows a little every day (compounded daily). It's a pretend interest rate that you, the parent, agree to honor. It's not a real investment or bank account.

The new amount applies to weeks from that day on. Weeks already earned keep the amount they were worth.

Yes. In Settings, under Family & caretakers, invite someone by name and phone or email. Buckaroo creates a code to send them. On their phone they open Buckaroo, tap Invited by a family? and enter it. Everyone in your family sees the same kids, chores, balances and payments.

Yes. In Settings, open your kid's card and tap Add a device. On their device, open Buckaroo, tap Joining as a kid? and enter the code. Kids don't need an account, email or phone number. You choose what they can do: View only, Ask to approve (they tap I did it and it counts once you OK it) or Trusted (their checkmarks count right away). You can remove a device at any time.

When a kid taps I did it, the chore shows as waiting on the Chores tab with a yellow dot on their name. Tap the check to approve or the × for Not yet, or tap Approve all. Only approved chores count toward a full week and allowance.

Only on the phone where you added them. Photos are never uploaded or shared, so a co-parent or caretaker adds their own photo on their phone if they'd like one.
