Less nagging. More helping. Happier evenings.
Twiggly is a psychology-backed chore app for families with children aged 6–14. Points, streaks, photo proof and parent approval turn daily tasks into lasting habits.
Your child does their evening task without being asked.
It gets done on time — just like that.
No reminders. No negotiating.
That's the moment Twiggly is built for.
Parents who use Twiggly tell us the same things keep happening.
Kids earn points and choose what to spend them on — but first they have to wait. That patience is one of the strongest predictors of adult health, wealth and wellbeing.
After a week, kids stop needing reminders. After a month, they just do it. Visual streaks make their own consistency impossible to ignore.
The app sends the reminders. You just approve with a tap. No more repeating yourself three times before dinner.
Short parenting tips explain the psychology behind each task type. When you understand the "why", you stay consistent — and consistency is what actually changes behaviour.
Each child has their own tasks, points, and progress. The 8-year-old can't coast while the 12-year-old does everything. No email needed — just a PIN.
A living garden grows with every completed task. Kids open the app to check their progress, not because you told them to. That shift — from pushed to pulled — is the whole point.
"Wait… I didn't remind them today."
That small moment is where everything starts to change.
Twiggly is designed to make that happen — early.
Create a task, set the points. Recurring tasks repeat automatically — you don't bring it up again.
The app reminds them. They mark it done and snap a photo if you want proof.
Review the photo, approve with a tap. Points land in their balance instantly.
Ice cream, movie night, a new toy — they save up and choose. You decide what's on the menu.
Twiggly may require a paid subscription. Current pricing and free-trial terms are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions are managed through the Google Play Store.
Twiggly is built for children roughly 6–14, with age-aware parenting tips that adjust as your child grows. Younger kids benefit from the visual streaks and garden; older kids respond to points and reward saving.
Not yet. Twiggly is launching on Android first. iOS is on the roadmap but not yet in development — we'll share an update when it is.
A sticker chart rewards immediately. Twiggly's point system teaches delayed gratification — kids save points toward rewards they actually want. A 32-year longitudinal study of ~1,000 children found that childhood self-control predicts adult health, wealth and wellbeing (Moffitt et al., PNAS 2011) — and it's what chore charts can't build.
No email, ever — and they don't need their own phone if you'd rather they use yours. Setup takes a moment: you share a one-time code from your side of the app, they pick a PIN, and from then on they sign in with just that PIN on that device. We store only what the app needs to run (a nickname, birth year, and task activity), and it stays within your family. See our privacy policy for the full list.
When a child marks a task done they can snap a photo. Parents see the photo in the approval screen and approve with one tap. It's optional per task — useful for tidying rooms, less so for brushing teeth.
Up to 20 children per family. Each child has their own tasks, point balance, streaks and garden. Twiggly is built for whole families, not single kids.
Delayed gratification. Visible consistency. Intrinsic motivation. These aren't buzzwords — they're the mechanics behind every lasting habit. Twiggly is built on them so your family doesn't have to think about them.
Twiggly is launching on Android first. iOS is planned.
Twiggly was built by a Finnish father who wanted a better way to teach his kids responsibility — without the nagging. What started as a family experiment became an app grounded in child psychology: points that teach delayed gratification, streaks that build discipline, and a garden that makes progress visible.
