Manage pocket money

Set a base amount, approve pending chores, and follow your child's savings goals.

In short: go to Settings → Chores & Pocket Money to set a base amount per child, and use the Pocket money page to follow the balance, approve chores, and track savings goals.

Before you start

Morgenrutine doesn't move real money — the app only tracks a digital balance. The physical payout happens outside the app, and you mark it afterwards with “Pay out”.

Step by step

  1. Set a base amount (optional)

    Under Settings → Chores & Pocket Money, set an amount and frequency per child — weekly or monthly. Set it to 0 if pocket money should only come from chores.

  2. Approve pending chores

    Go to Pocket money → Approvals, and approve or dismiss chores that require a parent's approval.

  3. Record payouts

    Click “Pay out” on the child's wallet card when the real money changes hands.

Savings goals

Under Pocket money → [child] → Savings, your child can create a goal with a name, target amount, and optional deadline, and set aside part of their free balance towards it. Progress is shown as a percentage bar, and both child and parent get a notification once the goal is reached.

Good advice

  • Set up the base amount and chore amounts together at the start. So your child experiences a consistent, predictable arrangement from day one.
  • Use “Pay out” every time money actually changes hands. Otherwise the balance loses touch with reality.
  • Start without sibling visibility. Turn it on later under “Visibility between siblings” if you feel your kids would benefit from the friendly competition. The leaderboard shows activity, never amounts.
