What it does

Pocket money, without opening a bank account.

Kids' money apps usually want a card, a monthly fee and a stack of ID. KACA is the other thing: a shared record of what a chore earned and what you still owe, settled the way families already settle up, in cash.

Chores and recurrence

  • One-off, daily, weekly or Mon-Fri chores
  • Assign a chore to one kid or to all of them
  • Each chore carries its own value
  • Instances appear on the day they are due
  • Missed chores expire on their own and break the streak

Spend, Save and Give jars

  • Every payout splits three ways automatically
  • You choose the percentages, 70/20/10 by default
  • Rounding never loses or invents a cent
  • Mark money from the Give jar as donated

Parent approvals

  • Nothing pays out until you approve it
  • One queue for chores and cash-out requests
  • Send a chore back with a note your kid reads
  • Auto-approve anything under an amount you set

Savings goals

  • Name a goal, set a target, watch the bar fill
  • Goal money is reserved out of the Save jar
  • Reserved money cannot be cashed out by accident
  • Move money in and back out whenever plans change

Cash out in real cash

  • Kids ask, and say what the money is for
  • Set a limit per request, per kid or per family
  • Hand over the cash, then tap Mark paid
  • Decline with a note instead of an unexplained no

Money or points

  • Run the whole app in points instead of money
  • Points are redeemed for a real-life reward
  • Same chores, streaks and approvals either way
  • Pick your currency symbol for money families

Badges and streaks

  • A streak that grows with every approved chore
  • Eight badges, from First Chore to Unstoppable
  • Locked badges show what is still to come
  • A history feed of everything that happened

A kid app inside the app

  • Hand over the phone and it becomes their app
  • Little mode for younger kids: fewer words, bigger buttons
  • Big mode for older kids: amounts, goals and history
  • Set it by age, or override it per kid

Privacy and safety

  • Kids never sign in and have no account
  • Your PIN or fingerprint to leave kid mode
  • No ads, no outside links, nothing sold
  • One family can only ever see its own data
