Set up your Crew in four clear steps

A parent creates the Crew, adds the kids, invites a partner, and sets the first chores and allowances.

Steps

  1. Step 1: A parent creates the Crew

    Sign in, name your family and choose its currency and time zone. A private family code is created for your kids.

  2. Step 2: Add kids and invite a partner

    Add each kid with a PIN you choose. Invite a co-parent with a single-use link; you approve them before they join.

  3. Step 3: Set chores and allowances

    Create chores, routines and allowances. Kids see their tasks right away on their own device or a shared family device.

  4. Step 4: Kids earn, save and ask

    Kids complete chores, save toward goals and request rewards or spending. Parents approve paid chores, rewards and spending requests.

Before you start

A parent account runs the Crew. Children don't need an email address, phone number or bank account: they sign in with the family code, their name and a PIN the parent sets.

PennyCrew records allowances, rewards and spending in your family's currency. It does not hold, move or pay out real money.
