PocketBuddy is a pocket-sized device plus a parent app that turns everyday chores into real pocket money, and gives kids a safe first taste of spending with their own bank card.
No bank link required · Set up in minutes · One account, every child
Nagging, sticker charts that fall off the fridge, and no clear link between effort and reward. Kids lose track, and so do you.
Coins get lost, allowance is hard to keep on top of, and there's no easy way to show kids where their money actually goes.
Most money apps assume a phone and a bank login. Young kids need something tactile, safe, and genuinely theirs.
You manage everything from the app. Your child lives with the device. They stay perfectly in step.
Add each child, pick their daily chores, and set a weekly pocket-money goal with the days that count. Pair the device with a 6-digit code.
Chores show up on the device. As your child ticks them off, their progress fills towards the weekly goal, all on their own little screen.
Confirm completed chores from the app, pay out pocket money, and top up or record spending. Their real card lives in the clip on the back.
Set one weekly goal and choose which days count. Every daily chore your child completes fills the bar, and the goal pays out automatically on the day and time you pick.
Build a daily routine from suggestions or make your own. Confirm completed chores with a tap, and share a job like "wash the car" across two children's devices.
PocketBuddy tracks a running balance you control by hand: add gifts, record spending, or just type in the current bank balance. Their own card, from any bank, slots into the clip on the back to do the real spending.
A little bigger than a credit card, with a crisp e-ink screen, a single Wake/Home button, and a clear holder on the back for their own bank card. Tough, simple, and theirs.
Easy on young eyes, readable in sunlight, and sips power so a charge lasts and lasts.
Built-in GPS pings an approximate location to the app whenever you want to check in.
A green light and tune at wake-up, a calm red glow at bedtime, set from the app.
A clear polycarbonate clip on the back keeps their own card safe and ready to tap.
A soft silicone frame hugs the edge of the device, leaving the screen, button and card holder free. Swap it any time.
The parent app, the device software, and gift cards, all in one place.
Set up children, build chore routines, confirm completed jobs, and manage pocket money and cards, all from your phone.
