Activities, Not Chores. Habits That Actually Stick.

How GoKiddo Works

What Makes GoKiddo Different

Built by a Family, For Families

We're Tim and Valerie, co-founders of GoKiddo and parents who got tired of the same two options for our own kids: screens or nagging.
We tried sticker charts. Allowance jars. Apps that turned chores into cartoon quests. None of them taught what we actually wanted our kids to learn. That the small things they do every day add up to who they become, and that money is something you earn, manage, and respect.
So we built GoKiddo.
We've tested every feature with our own kids at our kitchen table. We've rewritten every one of our 145 badges, twice, to make sure they reward the right behavior. We've sweated every detail of what GoBits mean and how kids earn them. And we're still doing it.
When you email us, you're emailing us. When we ship a feature, it's because a family asked for it. That's the trade we make for being small, and for now, it's the trade we'd make every time.

Thanks for being here.
