Everything in one app
A platform for getting things done — together
Built natively for iOS with the structure parents trust and the energy kids love.
Assign & schedule
Create tasks with deadlines, priorities, categories and recurring schedules — daily, weekly, you name it.
Credits & reward shop
Every task is worth credits. Kids spend them in a reward shop that parents fully control.
Streaks & achievements
Daily streaks, weekly charts and unlockable badges keep motivation high without the nagging.
Recurring routines
Set chores once and let them repeat. Morning routines, weekly cleanups, allowance cycles — automated.
Custom skins
Same app, totally different vibe. Each family member picks a skin that fits their age and taste.
Roles & privacy
Parent and child roles with the right permissions. Your family's data stays your family's.
Three steps to launch
From "go do your chores" to lift-off
01
Set up your family
Create your family space and add parents and kids. Everyone gets the role and skin that fits them.
02
Assign missions
Add tasks with a credit reward, deadline and category. Make them one-off or recurring routines.
03
Earn & reward
Kids complete tasks, collect credits and keep their streak — then cash out in the reward shop you set.
One app · two experiences
Designed for both sides of the family
Parents get clarity and control. Kids get a game worth playing. Nobody feels nagged.

Questions
Good to know
Still curious? Reach out — we're a small team building in the open.
Yes. Taskli is free to download and every feature is available at no cost. We'll share pricing well before any paid plan appears.
Taskli is a native iOS app built with SwiftUI. It runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Android isn't planned yet.
Parents set a credit value on each task. Kids earn those credits when a task is completed (and approved, if you want), then spend them in a reward shop you fully define.
Absolutely. You decide what's in the shop — screen time, allowance, a movie pick, a day out. Credits are just the currency; the rewards are whatever fits your family.
Privacy is built in. Your family's tasks and rewards belong to your family, with parent and child roles controlling who sees and does what.
Download Taskli from the App Store, create your family space and invite everyone in — you'll be up and running in minutes.
