Earnest gives each child their own quests, time bank, coins, and progress, so more than one kid can earn screen time fairly. Every child earns from their own effort, on an interface built for their age.
No shared pool to squabble over, no single account to untangle. Each kid gets a clear, personal deal, and you approve all of it from one place.
Earnest is built around per-child data from the ground up. Every quest, minute, and coin belongs to a specific kid, which keeps the whole thing fair when you have a house full of them.
Each child has their own minutes, coins, level, streak, and avatar, so one kid emptying their bank never touches another kid.
Shared chores can rotate between children, so nobody is stuck always clearing the table while a sibling always reads.
Set easier quests for a younger child and tougher ones for an older sibling, each on the interface built for their age.
Coins are earned and spent per child, so each one saves toward the reward that actually motivates them.
When siblings share one screen-time allowance, the day turns into a scoreboard. One kid does the chores and the other spends the reward, or the fastest gamer drains the pool before anyone else gets a turn. Earnest avoids that by tying earnings to the individual child. Your seven-year-old and your twelve-year-old can live under the same rules while working toward completely different quests and rewards, each seeing only what is theirs.
Earnest is in early access (version 0.1.0) and Android-only, with no iPhone or iPad version yet. The data model already keeps each child separate, and the full multi-kid management screens are coming to the first release. Earnest is not a banking or allowance-card product, so the coins are for parent-defined rewards, not real money.
Yes. Quests can be assigned per child or shared across the family, and each child keeps a separate time bank, coin balance, level, and streak.
Shared quests can rotate between children so the same kid does not always get the easy or the hard task, and each child earns from their own effort rather than competing over one shared pool.
No. Children can take turns on one shared Android device, each with their own profile, or use their own devices. Full multi-kid management is coming to the first release.
