For everyday family life
Chores and allowance, together
Agree on chores, follow your children's progress, and approve when needed. Keep track of allowance, savings, and rewards you choose together.
Start free with one child and five active chores.
Kroni is a chores and allowance app for families with kids aged 6 to 14. Parents set up chores and approve them. Kids earn virtual coins they can save or spend on rewards the family agrees on. No real money moves through the app, and there is no card or bank link. Kroni is free to download on iPhone, iPad and Android. The free plan covers one child and five active chores, and the Family plan unlocks more kids and chores. Kroni is made by Nilsen Konsult in Norway and is available in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
- Made in Norway
- Four languages
- Phones and tablets
- No bank connection
How it works
A clear agreement, from start to done.
They see what needs doing. You see what needs you.
Agree on the chores
Choose the chores, when they happen, and whether they earn money. You decide which ones need approval.
They mark the work done
Today's chores have their own simple view. Work that needs approval waits for an adult.
You follow up
Approve finished work or send it back for another try. Paid chores add to the balance when approved.
Allowance and savings
Small choices. Visible progress.
Help your child see what they have and what they want to set aside for something bigger.
See how close a goal is
A savings goal fills up as the balance grows, so your child can see how close it is. After a couple of weeks it also shows about how many weeks are left at their usual pace.
Kroni keeps track. The app does not transfer real money.
Your family's rewards
Something to look forward to. Something you choose together.
A movie night, an activity, or a little extra game time. Create rewards that fit your family and follow them from a wish to an agreement.
A timed reward can have a countdown. It keeps track of your agreement and does not block other apps.
Room for different days
One chore at a time. A plan that fits.
Make getting started a little easier
Break a chore into small steps and let your child see one thing at a time in focus mode. Add a calm countdown when it helps.
Let real life set the rhythm
Recurring or one-off. Paid or unpaid. Choose a schedule for each chore that works for your family.
This example shows more than five active chores with Kroni Family.
Together on phones and tablets
Close the week together.
Take a look at the week you've had. See what the children have done, add a little encouragement, and keep the overview.
- A child view on the family phone or their own device. When siblings share a tablet, each child taps their own name.
- More room for the overview on a larger screen.
- A weekly goal for each child, with an optional bonus when they reach it.
- A weekly close with optional notes and sharing.
The example shows more children with Kroni Family. Closing a week does not pay allowance or approve chores.

Good to know
Before you get started.
You'll find more help on our support page. You can also write to us directly.
Go to help and supportIs Kroni free?
Yes. You can use Kroni free with one child and five active chores. Allowance, rewards and savings goals are included too. Kroni Family makes room for more children and chores. Current prices and offers are shown in the app store.
Does Kroni move real money?
No. Kroni records balances and agreements. If you want to pay out real money, you do that yourselves outside the app. Record what you hand over as Paid out, so the balance matches.
Does my child need a phone or email address?
No. Your child can use the child view on your phone or connect their own phone or a tablet. You create the child profile; they do not need their own email address. When siblings share a tablet, Kroni opens on a board where each child taps their name.
Does every chore need approval?
You choose whether a chore needs approval. When it does, it waits for an adult before it counts as approved and any payment is added to the balance.
How are savings different from rewards?
A savings goal shows how close your child's balance is to something they want, and about how many weeks are left at their usual pace. A reward is something your family agrees on, such as a movie night or an activity, and your child can ask to spend their balance on it.
Does a timed reward block other apps?
No. The countdown helps you follow an agreed duration. Kroni does not control or block other apps on the device.
