Growney review: chores that earn virtual money toward a goal
Growney is a family wallet with virtual money. You set tasks with pictures, your child marks them done or sends a photo, you approve with one tap, and the reward lands on a balance that grows toward something the child wants. No real money moves, and kids have no way to make purchases. We describe it by what the App Store listing and the developer’s site say it does.
Everything here comes from the live App Store listing and the developer’s site growney.app, both checked on 2026-10-02. The app came out in September 2026 and has almost no ratings yet, so we judge it on features rather than reviews. Censuus ranks apps by the traffic they draw and by sponsorship, so paying also raises placement.
Tasks with pictures
Every task carries a picture, so a child who cannot read yet still knows what to do. You can start from a ready-made set the app picks for your child’s age or create your own task with a reward, a deadline and, if you want, a fine.
Done? Show me!
The child taps “Done!” or sends a photo of the result. You approve it with one tap and the reward lands on the balance. Photos of tasks are deleted after 30 days, the developer says.
Bonuses and gentle fines
You can reward a good deed or set a small fine in one tap. If a task is missed, its fine can come off automatically, so you do not have to chase it by hand. Whether to use fines at all is up to you.
Savings goals
The child picks something to save for and watches a sprout grow into a tree as the balance grows. Only grown-ups can spend from the balance, so the goal stays a goal until you agree on it together.
Stickers for good habits
Days in a row with every task done, photos, goals and first steps unlock stickers in the child’s album. Stickers never go away, and a missed day only starts a new streak, so there is no pressure to keep a perfect record.
No phone needed, then a watch
You can run everything from your own phone. When your child gets a phone or tablet, you link it with a QR code and keep the whole history. Version 1.1.0 added iPad, and a child with an Apple Watch can see the day and tick tasks off from the wrist.
For the whole family
Invite a partner or grandparents to add rewards and check tasks. Everyone sees the same balance, so a reward promised by a grandparent shows up in the same place as one from you.
Verdict
Growney is a calm, private chore chart that teaches saving with pretend money, simple enough for a preschooler and flexible enough for a teenager. It is new and iOS-only for now. For more options side by side, see our best chore apps for kids.
