Allowance app for the whole family
Kids collect rewards. Parents stay in control.
Loading PeppPepp is a chore and allowance app for families, for iPhone and Android. Parents set up chores as quests, kids complete them and earn allowance or screen time. No real money moves through the app: the pot only keeps count, and you pay out yourself. Pepp costs €2.99 a month for the whole family, and the first 7 days are free.
How Pepp works in 90 seconds
Read the transcript
Whose turn is it to take out the trash? And how much pocket money is left? Pepp helps your family keep track, turning everyday tasks into little quests.
The parent view shows you what’s happening: open tasks, new proof to review, and your children’s balances. All in one place.
Creating a quest is easy. What needs doing? What’s the reward? And should your child send a photo, or is a quick tap enough?
Now it’s your child’s turn. In their own space, they can see their quests, choose a task, and get started. Nice and simple.
All done? Your child sends you the proof. Just a tap, or a photo of the result – whatever you agreed on.
Take a quick look and approve the quest. If something’s missing, send the proof back. Your child knows exactly what still needs doing.
Once approved, the reward goes into their pot. Money or extra screen time – you choose what works for your family.
Saving up for something special? That’s what savings goals are for. When it’s time to pay out, you handle the money yourself, in cash or by bank transfer, outside the app.
Family chat keeps your plans and little updates together. Both parents can join in and stay on the same page.
Turn little tasks into real moments of achievement. Give Pepp a try with your family. Available for iOS and Android, at taschengeldapp.com.
Everyday life
Do you have to say everything five times too?
The trash is still sitting there.
Reminded for the third time. And you've already half done it yourself.
A screen-time debate every evening.
How much longer, how much yesterday, why the brother gets more.
"Did I already give you that?"
Allowance by gut feeling. Nobody knows what's still owed.
How it works
Chores become quests — in three steps.
Setting up once takes minutes. After that, the quest does the talking.

The mechanics
A quest can do a lot — but doesn't have to.
Child, category, reward, deadline. Everything else is optional.
Category, reward, deadline
Quick pick from ready-made categories. Then attach 2,50 € or 30 min — and set a deadline.
One-off, recurring, routine
The trash every Tuesday, homework as a routine, mowing the lawn once. You sort the list by child and status.
Custom proof
Photo or a tap as proof — you decide per quest. Swipe right to approve what comes in; swipe left to send it back.
Send back without starting over
Proof not enough? Sending back doesn't mean redoing it — your child just adds the proof.
Two sides
One app, two worlds.
Pepp shows the same everyday life in two views. You get the organised overview of all quests, your child a simple list to check off. You set the frame — your child decides within it.
Parent mode
Calm, clear, decisive.
Your view: plan and approve.
- Create quests and sort them by child and status.
- Set limits, wishes and screen time per child.
- Review and approve proof — or send it back.
Kids mode
Motivating, rewarding, independent.
Your child's view: accept and get it done.
- Accept quests, send proof, fill the pot.
- Set a personal savings goal and pick an image for it.
- Kids mode also runs on your phone, PIN-protected.
The pot
Waiting becomes visible.
Every reward you approve fills the ring around Pepp. Not an account balance, but progress your child can see.
- Earned, not given. 12,50 € in the pot means four completed quests.
- Savings goal with an image. Your child sees what they're saving for.
- Your child cracks it open themselves. Cash in hand, into a savings account or a wish — you confirm.
Safety
No account. No card. No data trading.
No bank account, no card
Your child needs no payment details and no account of their own. No real money flows through the app.
You handle the payout
The payout is a request to you. Cash in hand or into a savings account — outside the app.
No ads, no data selling
No advertising ID, no sharing with third parties.
You run the family account
Limits, amounts, screen time, kids mode: it's all yours, PIN-protected.
Family
For everyone who joins in.
Family chat
Arrangements, praise and proof photos in one place — without third-party messengers.
Custom quests and limits
Individual quests and limits for your kids — both parents see the same and manage it.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe?
Yes. Your child needs no bank account, no card and no payment details. No real money flows through Pepp — the pot is a balance counter, and you handle the payout.
What happens to my child's data?
No ads, no advertising ID, no data selling. Pepp is GDPR-compliant and the servers are in the EU.
What does Pepp cost?
2,99 € a month or 23,90 € a year — one price for the whole family. 7 days free up front, cancel anytime.
Does my child really learn something?
They earn it instead of being given it, they see the progress in the pot and they wait for a goal instead of getting it right away. That's exactly delayed gratification.
Control or autonomy?
Both. You set amounts, limits and screen time. Your child decides within that: which quest, when, and what to crack the pot open for.
Another app for your child?
Not needed. There's a kids mode on your device, PIN-protected. Your child only needs their own phone once they have one.
From what age?
As soon as a child can read short sentences they manage on their own — in our experience from around six years old. Younger children use kids mode together with you.
What happens after the 7 days?
You get a reminder beforehand. Without a subscription the quests pause — your family, history and the pot are kept.
