Chores done. Pocket money sorted.

No. The Piggy never touches your money. It keeps count of what each child has earned and what you've paid them. On pay day it shows what each child is owed. Pay them in cash, by bank transfer or onto a kids' card they already have, then mark it paid with a tap. You can put a slice straight into one of their goals.

No. Kids never sign up or sign in. You add each child by first name, then set up their iPad, iPhone or Android device by scanning a code from your phone. That device stays with that child. There's no bank account, card or ID check for anyone.

Parents and carers can use an iPhone, iPad, Android phone or computer, all kept in sync. A child's own device can be an iPad or iPhone, or an Android phone or tablet: on Android, set it up in Chrome and add The Piggy to the Home screen. Kids don't need their own device, though. On a shared family iPad each child taps their name, and switching to someone else needs the parent PIN.

The Piggy is a web app that lives on your Home Screen. Open it in Safari, add it to your Home Screen, and it opens full screen from its own icon like any other app. There's nothing to download or update, so you always have the latest version. Getting it on your Home Screen and signing in takes about two minutes.

We can't promise every kid will love chores. What The Piggy does is make the payoff easy to see. Kids get their own screen with today's jobs, the money in their tin, a countdown to pay day and a goal with a picture. Streaks, badges and an all done bonus reward sticking at it, and kids can suggest new jobs and a price. You set the amounts, so you decide how big the rewards are.

Every child in your family is included for the one price. Each job has a picture, so kids who can't read yet can follow along. Older kids can save for bigger goals, pitch their own jobs and move to fortnightly or monthly pay.

Yes. One family can have up to four parents or carers, each signing in with their own email on their own phone, wherever they live. Everyone approves and pays out from the same record, all for one price.

Your 30 free days start the day your family is set up, or, if you joined from the waiting list, the day you're let in. You get every feature, and we don't ask for a card. Before the month ends, the app asks you to choose A$49 a year or A$5.99 a month. If you choose early, you keep the rest of your free days: nothing is charged until they run out, and we email you before your first payment. If you don't choose, nothing is charged. Your records stay there to read, and new chores wait until you pick a plan. There's one free month per account.

Codes are for friends and family we've invited. When you choose a plan in the app, tap "Have a code?" and type it in. If it's valid, you won't be asked for a card.

Yes, in the app, in a few taps. There's no phone call, no form and no lock-in contract. Your plan keeps running to the end of the time you've paid for, and you can switch between monthly and yearly in the same place. If you haven't chosen a plan yet, there's nothing to cancel in your free month.

Nothing is deleted. You and your kids can still open The Piggy and see every balance, every goal and what each child is owed. New chores, approvals and payouts wait until you subscribe again, then you pick up right where you left off.

Only what the app needs: your kids' first names, their chores, amounts and goals, plus the first name and email each parent or carer signs in with. We never ask for kids' surnames, birthdays, photos or emails. There are no ads, we never sell or share your data, and the app has no tracking and no cookies. The parents and carers in your family can see your family's records, and each child sees their own screen. Records are stored with Cloudflare and aren't end to end encrypted, so we can help when something goes wrong. We can only look by typing in a reason, and every look is recorded. Card details are held by Stripe, never by us.

The parent who set up the family can remove it in the app, under Admin. Save a backup file first if you'd like a copy. We keep the family for 7 days in case you change your mind, then delete it. Our privacy policy says how long backup copies last.
