Built for our family. Shared with yours.
It started with
one very complicated
Google Sheet.

My wife, Rebecca, and I want our boys to learn responsibility: finish their homework, do their chores, and earn a weekly allowance—with chances to earn extra when they go above and beyond.
Keeping track of what each boy was owed became a complicated Google Sheet. Rebecca worried about breaking it, so every change—and every question from the boys—came back to me. When one wanted to pay his brother, I realized I was building a ledger.
We’d tried paid debit cards. The monthly fees, and the cards the boys kept losing, weren’t solving our problem. We just needed a place to check balances, record purchases we made for them, and save toward things that mattered to them.
That’s why I built KidTab. It’s free, with no ads or subscription. I use it with my own family, and I’d love to hear how it works for yours.
