Volume 01 · A family allowance tracker
A family bank that grows like a garden.
Track weekly allowance. Share each payday across spending, giving, and saving. Saving grows a little each day at the rate you set. Every balance is practice money, worked to the cent.
Private beta. Every family joins with an invitation code.
The three jars
Every payday shares three ways.
Set it per kid. Where each payday goes lives with the schedule, so changing it changes future paydays. History stays as it was.
Day-to-day money. Pocket cash.
The money a kid chooses how to spend. Defaults to 50% of each payday. Set it higher or lower per kid.
For someone else.
A slice set aside for gifts and causes. Defaults to 20%.
The jar that grows.
Grows at a rate you set. Each day's growth shows in the kid's activity, so a kid can see it.
How it works
Set it up once. Paydays and growth run on their own.
Set the weekly amount.
Pick a payday total and where it goes for each kid. Twiggybank runs the math from there.
Paydays run themselves.
A scheduled run pays out every week, accurate to the penny.
Saving grows visibly.
Growth lands in the Saving jar every day, and the kid sees the balance climb.
One plan, every kid
One price for the whole family.
One flat family membership covers every kid and every invited adult. Start with 30 days free, with nothing to cancel if it is not for you.
Common questions
Questions families ask first.
- Is this real money?
- No. Twiggybank keeps track of allowance the way a bank keeps track of a balance, and no money moves anywhere. Every dollar in it is practice money, and the arithmetic is exact. A kid learns the habits before any real money is involved.
- How does my kid sign in?
- You set up a kid's device yourself from Settings: Twiggybank shows a one-time code, your kid enters it on their device, and that device becomes theirs. A kid needs no email address and no password. Kids without a device still appear in your family.
- Which devices does it work on?
- You manage the family from any web browser. Kids use the Twiggybank iPhone app on a device you have paired. A hand-me-down phone or tablet works.
- What does it cost?
- One flat membership for the whole family: $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year. The price is the same for one kid or five. Your first 30 days are free.
