Chores that pay. Rules that count.

Qdos is a family reward app for chores and pocket money. Kids earn money for the tasks they finish — missed tasks and broken house rules cost it. You settle up whenever you’re ready, by cash or transfer. No real money moves through the app.

How Qdos works

Create your family

Set up a household in about a minute. Add your kids with a username — no email needed for them — and invite a co-parent if you like.
Add tasks and house rules

Give each chore a reward and a schedule. Add house rules with a penalty (“no shoes inside”). Tasks can be for one child, anyone, or rotate.
Kids earn, you settle up

Kids tick off tasks to earn; missed tasks and broken rules cost. Balances build in each wallet. Pay out in real money whenever you’re ready.

Everything a family needs

More than an allowance tracker — it’s the small command centre for a busy household.

Chores that pay

Every task carries a real reward. Finishing it credits the child’s wallet — pocket money they can see add up.

Slip-ups that cost

Missed tasks and broken house rules apply a penalty automatically, so the deal stays fair and the stakes are real.

A wallet per child

Each child has a running balance backed by an append-only ledger — every credit and debit is recorded and reconcilable.

You settle on demand

No real money moves through Qdos. When you’re ready, press Settle and pay out the balances by cash or transfer. You stay in control.

Savings goals

Kids set a goal — “$4 from the LEGO set” — and watch a progress bar fill, turning an abstract balance into real motivation.

Flexible scheduling

Daily, weekly or one-off tasks, assigned to a specific child, claimable by anyone, or rotating fairly round-robin.

Shared family calendar

Appointments, soccer, school holidays — a shared calendar everyone sees, built right in. No money attached.

Shared shopping list

A household shopping list that remembers what you buy and orders it by aisle, so the shop is faster.

Built for real families

Kids stay private. Children sign in with a username — no email, no profile, no ads.
Parents stay in control. You approve work and decide when to pay. No money moves until you say so.
Nothing to lose track of. Every credit and debit is on an append-only ledger you can always reconcile.

Install it like an app

Qdos runs in your browser and installs to your home screen on iPhone and Android — no app store needed. Native apps are on the way.

Frequently asked questions

What is Qdos?: Qdos is a family reward app for chores and pocket money. Kids earn money for the tasks they finish, while missed tasks and broken house rules cost money. A parent settles up on demand. A shared family calendar and shopping list are built in.
Is Qdos free?: Yes — Qdos is free to set up and use.
Does Qdos handle real money?: No. Qdos tracks who is owed what; it never moves, holds, or transfers money and does not link to bank accounts. A parent pays children out by cash or bank transfer whenever they choose.
Can my kids use Qdos without an email address?: Yes. Children sign in with a username and password set by a parent — no email required, which keeps things simple and child-friendly.
What devices does Qdos work on?: Any modern phone or computer through the web. Qdos installs to your home screen as an app (a PWA) on iPhone and Android. Native iOS and Android apps are in progress.
Can both parents use it?: Yes. An admin can invite a co-parent to share management. Either adult can approve tasks and settle up — but no one can approve their own work.
How is Qdos different from a chore chart?: Chores carry real, accountable money in a per-child wallet, penalties for missed tasks and broken rules are automatic, and balances settle on demand — plus you get a shared family calendar and shopping list in the same app.
