Twiggly

For parents who care about the details.

Watch responsibility take root.

Twiggly turns everyday tasks into habits kids keep — capable kids, calmer evenings, no nagging required.

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.

Available now on Google Play.

What changes at home

Parents who use Twiggly tell us the same things keep happening.

They start saving, not just spending

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 a lower risk of trouble with the law.

Tasks become automatic

After a week, kids stop needing reminders. After a month, they just do it. Twiggly's visual streaks make their own consistency impossible to ignore.

You stop being the bad guy

Twiggly sends the reminders and notifications, so you just approve completed tasks with a tap. No more repeating yourself three times before dinner.

You know why it works

Short, age-tuned parenting tips explain why everyday tasks matter at your child's age. When you understand the "why", you stay consistent — and consistency is what actually changes behaviour.

Every kid pulls their weight

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.

They feel proud, not nagged

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.

You'll start to notice it

"Wait… I didn't remind them today."

That small moment is where everything starts to change.

Twiggly is designed to make that happen — early.

How does Twiggly work?

Four steps, zero arguments.

1

Set expectations once

Create a task, set the points. Recurring tasks repeat automatically — you don't bring it up again.

2

They do it themselves

The app reminds them. They mark it done and snap a photo if you want proof.

3

One tap, done

Review the photo, approve with a tap. Points land in their balance instantly.

4

They earn what they want

Ice cream, movie night, a new toy — they save up and choose. You decide what's on the menu.

Twiggly vs. a sticker chart

Same idea — rewarding good habits. Very different results.

  Sticker / chore chart Twiggly
Reward timing Instant sticker for each task Points are saved and redeemed for rewards the child chooses — teaching delayed gratification
What it builds Short-term compliance Long-term self-control and lasting habits
Reminders Parent has to nag Twiggly sends the reminders and notifications

Why does Twiggly use a points system instead of stickers?

Because the habits stick when the psychology is real. Delayed gratification, visible consistency and intrinsic motivation aren't buzzwords — they're the mechanics behind every lasting habit, and Twiggly is built on them so your family doesn't have to think about them.

The research is consistent. A 32-year study of about 1,000 children found that childhood self-control predicts adult health, wealth and a lower risk of trouble with the law (Moffitt et al., PNAS, 2011).

Perseverance toward long-term goals — "grit" — predicts achievement beyond talent or IQ (Duckworth et al., JPSP, 2007). And children praised for effort rather than ability develop a growth mindset that sustains motivation through setbacks (Mueller & Dweck, JPSP, 1998).

A points system that rewards waiting builds exactly these traits — something an instant sticker can't.

More than a chore app

Built for what kids become

Most chore apps help organize tasks. Twiggly is built to grow capable, independent kids, then get out of the way.

Twiggly might not be for you if…

Twiggly is for families who want to build routines that last, with an app their kids are meant to outgrow.

Frequently asked questions

What ages is Twiggly designed for?

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, responsibility and saving toward their own goals.

Is Twiggly available on iPhone or iOS?

Not yet. Twiggly is available on Android now, and iOS is on the roadmap but not yet in development. Leave your email on the waitlist and we'll tell you the day it ships.

How is Twiggly different from a chore chart or sticker chart?

A sticker chart rewards immediately, for a single task. Twiggly builds skills a child will still need years from now: by saving points toward bigger goals, they practice waiting, perseverance and working toward something. A 32-year longitudinal study of ~1,000 children found that childhood self-control predicts adult health, wealth and a lower risk of trouble with the law (Moffitt et al., PNAS 2011). That's what a sticker chart can't build.

Do my kids need their own phone or email?

No email, ever. And they don't need their own device. Twiggly works on any Android phone or tablet, theirs or 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.

How does photo proof work?

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. Photos are optional per task, and they help most while a new routine is being learned — as it becomes a habit and trust grows, you'll usually need them less and less.

How many children can I add?

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.

Who's behind Twiggly?

Twiggly is built by a Finnish father of two who wanted the same thing you do: kids who grow capable, and a home that grows calmer.

What started as a family experiment became an app where every detail is designed to build habits that last. The goal isn't to get kids to do more chores — it's to help them notice for themselves what needs doing.
