Everything Kibbo Does

Built for the whole family

From chore lists to savings milestones, every feature in Kibbo is designed to keep kids engaged and parents in control — without the fuss.

For Parents & Kids

Chore Assignment & Approval

Parents create chores and assign them to individual children — each with a name, description, and dollar value. Kids see their list the moment they open the app, complete tasks, and mark them done.

Every completed chore lands in the parent's approval queue. One tap to approve, one tap to decline. No money moves until you say so.

  • Create chores with custom names, notes, and reward amounts
  • Assign chores to any child in the family
  • Kids mark tasks complete and add an optional note
  • Parents review, approve, or decline from their dashboard

Reward Exceptional Effort

Bonuses

Parents create bonus earning opportunities — like "Get an A on a test" or "Read for 30 minutes every day this week" — and attach a reward amount. Kids see these opportunities alongside their chores, and when they've completed one, they submit a claim for your review.

You approve the claim and the bonus lands in their account. It's a powerful way to incentivize goals that go beyond everyday tasks, while keeping you in control of every payout.

  • Parents create named bonus opportunities with a set reward
  • Kids see available bonuses and decide which ones to pursue
  • When complete, kids submit the bonus for parent review
  • Parent approves or declines — money only moves on approval
  • Great for academic goals, reading targets, acts of kindness, and more

Two Ways to Pay

Allowances

Kibbo supports two allowance types so you can choose the approach that fits your family's values.

Weekly allowance — a fixed amount that deposits automatically on a set day each week, regardless of chores. Consistent and predictable for kids who thrive on routine.

Chore-based allowance — you mark certain chores as allowance-relevant. When a child completes every one of those chores in a week, their payout triggers automatically. No full completion, no payout — a built-in incentive to see the week through.

  • Set a weekly amount and choose the trigger type per child
  • Weekly: deposits automatically on your chosen day
  • Chore-based: parent marks which chores count toward allowance
  • Chore-based payout triggers when all marked chores are completed
  • Adjust, pause, or switch types any time from your dashboard

Savings Goals

Kids create a savings goal — a name, a target amount, and a reason — then allocate earnings toward it whenever they choose. That allocated money is held in escrow, kept completely separate from their spendable balance.

This means children always have a clear picture of two distinct numbers: how much is locked away for their goal, and how much they're free to spend right now. No mental math, no accidentally raiding the savings jar.

  • Kids create and name their own goals with a target amount
  • Allocate any portion of earnings toward a goal at any time
  • Allocated funds are held in escrow — separate from spendable balance
  • Kids always see their free-to-spend amount clearly
  • Visual progress bar tracks how close they are to the goal
  • Celebrate when the goal is reached

Teach Real-World Generosity

Sibling Money Transfers

Children can send money from their account to a sibling's — a simple feature that introduces peer-to-peer finance in a safe, parent-supervised environment.

Every transfer request still requires parent approval before it goes through. Kids learn generosity, and parents retain oversight.

  • Any child can initiate a transfer to a sibling
  • Parent approves before funds move
  • Both children see the transfer in their history
  • A great way to teach giving and sharing

Your dashboard is the nerve center of Kibbo. See all pending chore approvals across every child, review bonus requests, manage allowances, and get a clear view of each child's current balance — all in one place.

Nothing happens in Kibbo without showing up here first. You're always the last word.

  • Unified queue of all pending approvals
  • Per-child balance and earnings history
  • Manage allowance settings for every child
  • Create and manage bonus opportunities from the dashboard
  • Full transaction history always available

Push Notifications

Kibbo keeps everyone informed without anyone needing to constantly check the app. Parents receive a notification the moment a child marks a chore complete. Kids receive a notification the moment their earnings are approved — turning every approval into a small, satisfying moment.

  • Parents notified instantly when a chore is marked complete
  • Kids notified the moment their earnings are approved
  • Notifications for bonus payments and transfer approvals
  • Configurable — turn off what you don't need
