Little Roots Allowance

Teach your kids good financial habits that last a lifetime. Automate giving allowance for each of your children, with features that support learning.

Teach a money lesson that sticks: saving more means earning more. The key insight this app leverages is that daily reinforcement is what builds good habits. In this allowance method, kids earn interest daily (and if notifications are enabled they will be notified when this happens each day). The interest they earn increases with the amount they have saved so far. Kids are encouraged to setup and track their own personal savings goals, and the app encourages these habit building activities.

There is no real money saved in the app - parents setup the allowance and then manage deposits and withdrawals, making it simple to get started and easy to use as a daily habit builder. When setting an allowance, the app works best when you set a slightly lower weekly amount and let the interest fill in the rest over time, but you can change interest and payment settings at any time.

Pricing. The app is completely free for the first child - only when you want to manage multiple children's allowance schedules does the app ask for payment, and it's a one time only lifetime purchase to unlock all family features.
