Jobs, tickets, and an arcade.
Your kids do the things that need doing and earn tickets the moment they finish. You set the jobs and the prizes, and you can undo anything.
Kids need a code from their grown-up the first time.

What it looks like
Example screens, filled in with sample data.
How it works
- You set the jobs.Pick what needs doing and what each one is worth in tickets. Some have a deadline; others come back on their own after a rest.
Your jobs list, and what each one pays - They do it, and it counts right away.Your kid marks a job done and the tickets land instantly. You look it over later, and you can reverse it with a note if it wasn’t really done.
Their day, with the next thing to do - Tickets turn into prizes.Kids save toward prizes from a wall you stock. When they redeem one, you hand it over.
The wall, with prices and progress
Instant for them, reversible for you
The reward lands the moment they finish, so doing the thing and getting the thing are the same moment. You can reverse a completion afterward with a note.
Prizes you stock
You decide what goes on the wall and what it costs. Kids pick one to save toward and watch it get closer.
And an arcade
Every morning each kid gets a few arcade tokens to play with. Tokens are for games, tickets are for prizes, and one never turns into the other. Nothing in docade costs real money.
- Brain Bounce
- Gizmo’s Ballistic Bounces
Show up again tomorrow
Doing something every day builds a streak, and the flame grows with it. Miss a day and a freeze can save it.
Things to find
Streak milestones earn a go on the claw machine, and what comes out is a blind box. The ones you haven’t found yet show as shadows.
- Fox
- Butterfly rhino
- Stag
- Not found yet
Every go gives a capsule. You find out what’s inside when it opens.
Doodad sets things up
Tell Doodad what your week looks like and it sets up the jobs. Kids don’t talk to Doodad — it is yours.
What you control
- What every job is worth, and which prizes are on the wall.
- How many tokens each kid gets a day.
- Which reminders reach you and which reach them.
- Doodad, your assistant, sets things up when you just say what you want.
Built for kids’ phones
- No ads, no purchases, no chat, and no links out of the app.
- Kids never give an email address. They join with a code and a PIN from you, and pick themselves from your family.
- Every household is sealed off from every other one.
- You can export or delete your family’s data at any time.

Grown-ups
