New Tithing and donations

Kids ask for money. What if they earned it instead?

They do chores, save coins and pick their own reward — a zoo trip, a new book, a Saturday at the beach. You just approve from your phone.

Parenting is hard. Money doesn't have to be.

Stop the "can I have money" loop and start teaching values.

The Constant Asking

Tired of kids asking for money every time you go out? Tija gives them their own balance to manage.

📋

Forgotten Chores

No more nagging about the bed or dishes. Our gamified chore tracker turns daily tasks into fun quests.

💼

Financial Anxiety

Don't wait until adulthood to teach them about saving. Let them practice in a safe, controlled environment.

Everything in one app

The complete pocket money and chore app for kids

These are the real screens, not a drawing of them. Here is what one week looks like in a household that runs on Tija Kids.

Manage pocket money

Every shilling they earn lands on one card, so nobody has to remember who paid what on Saturday.

The balance moves the moment you approve a task. No cash, no counting, no arguments.

Assign chores

Set the task, attach what it is worth, pick the days it repeats. Sunday evening is the only setup you do.

Ask for photo proof on the ones that need it. You approve in a tap, and so can a co-parent or the nanny.

Save for goals

The boots, the trip, the thing they keep asking for. It becomes a bar they fill themselves.

You approve the goal before a single coin moves into it, and you can top it up when they get close.

Redeem rewards

Spending is where the lesson lands. They choose, you approve, the balance goes down in front of them.

Cash, M-Pesa, airtime or an extra hour of screen time. You decide what is on the menu and what it costs.

I built Tija because I couldn't see my son's mornings.

He lives with his mum. I'm not in the house for the routine (the bed, the bag, the homework), and neither is she, once work starts. Their nanny had all of it in her head, and I had none of it in mine.

Not a discipline problem.An information problem.

Every kids' app I tried was a to-do list built for adults, or a cartoon that talked down to a kid who's smarter than that.

So I built the one we needed. He checks things off himself. A coin sound, a wallet that adds up to something he actually wants. His nanny follows a list instead of her memory.

I open my phone and know.

Honestly, this app changed our morning routine forever! We used to argue every single day before school. Now, they race to check off their tasks.

The rewards system is genius. It's not just about screen time; we added custom rewards like 'Date with Dad' and they love it.
