Sunday evening, every week

You shouldn't have to ask six times.

And they shouldn't have to be asked six times to stop doing what they're doing.

🔁

"I'll do it in a minute" — for an hour

You ask. You remind. You raise your voice. They respond — to the voice, not the chore. You hate that. They hate it more.

💸

Bribes work once

A biscuit for brushing teeth works on a Tuesday. By Friday they've calibrated the market and now they're bargaining.

Chore charts become wallpaper

You make the chart. You laminate the chart. Two weeks later the chart is ignored, and you're back to the nagging.

💰

Pocket money without structure is just money

Handing over cash weekly teaches kids that money arrives regardless. You want to teach them that effort is what it's tied to.

How it's different

Chores become a game kids want to win.

Beyond chores

Activities, routines, projects — not just housework.

Stimul8 isn't limited to "tidy your room". Use it for practising piano, building a LEGO set, finishing an art project, or helping a sibling. Any responsibility worth rewarding — your call.

Stimul8 chore templates — pick from ready-made routines or create your own
You stay in control

Every chore, every point, every reward — approved by you.

Kids don't choose the tasks. You do. They don't set the reward. You do. What they choose is the motivation that works for them — from the catalogue you've already approved. The dynamic is: kids own the effort, parents own the structure.

The best reward catalogue

Roblox, Amazon, cash — the things kids actually ask for.

Chores kids actually finish are chores that lead to rewards they actually want. Stimul8 has more brand vouchers than any competitor — Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Spotify, Starbucks, Apple. No made-up points system. Real stuff.

Questions parents ask

Before you download.

What age range are the chore templates for?

Ages 6–15. Templates adjust to age — younger kids might earn points for simple routines like brushing teeth or packing their school bag, older kids for tasks like laundry, meal prep, or feeding pets. You can edit any template.

Is Stimul8 an allowance app or a chore app?

It's a chore app that can function as a seamless allowance handoff. Stimul8 is not a bank. Your child earns points for chores, you approve the reward (cash or voucher), and the transfer happens via standard payment methods — no debit cards, no fees.

What chores work best with Stimul8?

Daily routines (making the bed, brushing teeth, packing the bag), weekly chores (laundry, vacuuming, tidying the room), and bigger responsibilities (meal prep, looking after pets, helping with siblings). It also works for project-style activities — building something, finishing an art project, practising an instrument.

How does the cash reward work?

Stimul8 isn't a bank — we integrate with the ones you already use. If you have a Greenlight or Revolut account for your child, Stimul8 connects directly to it so when your kid redeems a cash reward the transfer happens automatically. No debit cards to activate, no hidden fees, no third-party holding your money.

Is Stimul8 free?

Yes. Stimul8 is currently free to download and use — no paywall, no subscription today. You only pay for the rewards you choose to fund (vouchers or cash transfers to your child). Premium features may be added in the future.

Can I override or change chore values?

You're in full control. Every goal, point value, and reward is set by you. Templates are starting points — edit anything.
