Chores & routines
150+ age-appropriate templates, checklists, schedules and shared “first to claim” jobs. Missed a day? No penalties by default.
For families with kids aged 4 to 16
Grow great kids, together.
Yippie turns chores, reading and personal goals into quests. Kids earn silver coins for helping at home and gold for paid extra jobs, you approve with a tap and run the family store, and good habits grow into ones they keep.
- No ads, ever
- Free for up to 2 kids
- Works offline
- No app store needed
How it works
Less nagging. More doing.
A simple loop that kids understand and parents can keep up with on a busy Tuesday.
Step 1: Set up in three minutes
Add your kids with a nickname and birth year, pick ready-made packs like Morning routine or Bookworm, and choose how much each job is worth.
Step 2: Kids take on quests
They see today's quests with pictures and read-aloud for little ones, tap “I did it!”, and watch their streaks, levels and avatars grow.
Step 3: You approve, they celebrate
Approve with a swipe and add a praise sticker or voice note. Silver coins land instantly and can be saved up for rewards you've chosen together.
Everything in one place
Built for real family life
Chores, reading, goals and rewards in one calm app for parents and one joyful app for kids.
Reading log
Scan a book, run a reading timer, log pages and celebrate every finished book on a growing bookshelf.
Personal goals
Kids set goals like learning to ride a bike or saving for a scooter, break them into milestones and reflect at the end.
Family reward store
You choose the rewards and the prices. Silver buys screen time, a park trip or a sleepover; gold buys pocket money and real things. Declines refund automatically.
Avatars that grow
Kids build an avatar that looks like them, with inclusive skin tones, hair and headwear, glasses, hearing aids and wheelchairs, all free.
One device or many
Share the family iPad with a profile picker, give each kid their own tablet, or mix both. Everything syncs in seconds.
Works offline
No Wi-Fi in the car? Kids can still tick off quests. Everything syncs when you're back online, with no double coins.
Private by design
No ads, no trackers, no chat with strangers and no purchases in Kid mode. Kids' profiles hold a nickname, birth year and avatar only.
Two kinds of coins, never swapped
Helping at home is part of being a family, so everyday chores earn silver, never money. Gold comes only from extra jobs you mark as paid and a fixed weekly allowance for teens, so money lessons stay real.
- Gold is hidden for ages 4–7 unless you turn it on
- Kids ask you in person to cash out gold, and you record it
- You set the rate, starting at 10 gold = $1

Level up with XP Spend silver in the shop Unlock items with badges
Rooms and pets
A room of their own, and a friend to look after
Every kid gets a room to make their own. It fills up with the things they've actually done, and it grows with every level.
Decorated with silver
Beds, rugs, posters, lamps and decor cost silver. Upgrades like a window, a second shelf and a loft bed are earned by levelling up, never bought.
Real progress on show
Finished books fill the bookshelf, badges hang on the trophy wall and active goals are pinned to the dream board.
You gift the pet
Choose the animal and its name. Kids feed and play each day, and with care their pet grows up and learns tricks to show off.
Gentle by design
Pets never get sick or sad. If nobody looks after them for a day, they just get sleepy. Food costs a little silver, and you can send some too.
Growing up, one care day at a time
A pet goes from baby to young to grown-up over a few weeks of feeding and play. Going away? Holiday mode pauses quests, streaks and pet needs for the whole family.
Free: a room and one pet for each kidFamily+: theme packs and up to 4 pets

You agree first, every value is encrypted, helpers only see allergies and medicines, and none of it is ever shared with friends.

Why it works
Designed around how kids actually grow
Yippie is built on well-established ideas from child development and motivation research: warmth, consistency, autonomy and specific praise.
The goal isn't coins. It's kids who help because they care!
Praise the effort, not just the result
Approvals come with praise stickers and voice notes like “You kept going!”, because specific, effort-focused praise builds persistence.
Rewards are scaffolding
Silver gets a habit started, and chores never earn money because helping is part of family life. Reflection, mastery and celebrating growth do the rest.
Autonomy builds ownership
Kids choose their goals, propose their own tasks and decide what to save for. Teens get a respectful, grown-up space.
Connection over competition
Sibling leaderboards are off by default. Family quests let everyone work towards something together, like a beach day.
No shame, no streak panic
Missed days carry no penalty by default, streak freezes take the pressure off, and avatars never look sad.
Consistency made easy
Recurring routines, gentle reminders and a weekly recap help you stay consistent without nagging.
Pricing
Free to start. Fair when you grow.
Kids never see a paywall. Safety, identity and the everyday habit loop are always free, there are no ads, ever, and nothing is for sale in Kid mode.

Questions
Good questions, honest answers
Do my kids need their own email or phone?
No. Kids never sign up or need an email address. You create the family, add each child with a nickname and birth year, and they use Yippie on the family device or on a device you pair with a code.
Can we use just one iPad for the whole family?
Yes, that's Shared Device Mode and it's free. Everyone taps their avatar on a “Who's using Yippie?” screen. Parent mode is locked behind your Parent PIN, so kids can't approve their own jobs.
Isn't paying kids for chores bad for motivation?
That's why everyday chores never earn money in Yippie. They earn silver coins for experiences and privileges, and only extra jobs you choose to pay for earn gold. Rewards work best as scaffolding, so Yippie also nudges you to praise effort, celebrates finished books and personal goals, and lets kids reflect on how they've grown.
Why two kinds of coins?
Helping at home is part of being a family, so everyday chores, routines, reading and kindness earn silver coins. Silver buys experiences and privileges, like choosing the movie or being DJ in the car, plus avatar items and other fun extras. It never turns into money.
Gold coins are for real-world value. They come only from extra jobs you mark as paid (washing the car, mowing the lawn) and an optional fixed weekly allowance, which suits teens learning to budget. Gold buys pocket money and physical things like books or LEGO. You set the rate (10 gold = $1 to start).
The two wallets never swap. When your child wants to cash out gold, they ask you in person, you hand over the money and record it in their gold wallet. Gold is hidden for ages 4–7 unless you turn it on, so little ones keep things simple.
How do pets work?
A parent gifts each pet, choosing the animal (there are 12, from a puppy to a baby dragon) and its name. It lives in your child's room and can walk beside their avatar. One pet per kid is free, and Family+ allows up to 4.
Kids feed and play with their pet each day. A meal uses one portion of food, and more food costs a little silver. You can also send food as a gift from their profile in Parent mode. With care, pets grow from baby to young to grown-up over a few weeks and learn tricks along the way.
Pets never get sick or sad, and they never run away. If nobody looks after them for a day, they just get sleepy until the next snack and game.
Is it safe? Can strangers find my child?
No, strangers can't find your child. There's no search, no list of kids, no suggestions and no friends-of-friends. The only way to become friends is to swap a short-lived code in person, wrong guesses are limited, and siblings can't add each other.
Friends can't message each other, only send preset reactions. You're told about every new friend, you can remove any of them, and switching friends off hides your child's profile straight away. Your child's display name is the nickname you set, so use a nickname or first name only. Read more in our privacy policy.
Does it need an app store download?
No. Yippie runs in any modern browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like an app, works offline and can send notifications.
What happens to my family's data?
We keep the minimum: a nickname, birth year and avatar for each child. There are no ads or trackers, task photos delete themselves after 30 days, and you can export or delete everything at any time. Read the privacy policy.
What does Family+ add?
Unlimited kids and rewards, syncing across multiple devices, photo proof, reports, family quests, savings interest on gold, room theme packs and up to 4 pets per kid. Silver and gold coins, a room and a pet for every kid, all growth tracking, friends, and every safety and privacy feature are always free, and kids never see a paywall.
