Pekabo turns chores, outdoor time, and screen-time deals into rewards your kids actually choose — screen time, cash, gift cards, even invested dollars. Parents fund. Kids earn. The nightly fight ends.
How it works
Pekabo is built on Apple's FamilyControls framework. Parents stay in control. Kids stay motivated. Everyone stops fighting about screens.
Top up once, then set the rails — screen time, cash, gift cards, IRL points, or Acorns auto-invest. Daily caps and category multipliers keep things fair.
Real-world tasks — chores, outdoor time, reading, anything you agree on. Kids submit proof, you approve, rewards settle to the rails they chose.
An on-device AI suggests next quests, celebrates streaks, and helps resolve friction — without ever reading your kid's messages or social feeds.
Six ways to earn
Pekabo is the only family app that pays kids in six different reward types — including invested dollars that compound for life.
Time-for-time exchange. Earn minutes for the apps your parents already approved — enforced by Apple's own framework.
Withdrawable to Venmo or PayPal (13+). No allowance arguments, no "I forgot."
Roblox, Steam, Target, Amazon — hundreds of brands delivered instantly through Tango Card.
Trade for what your family already loves — pizza night, a trip to the trampoline park, a later bedtime.
Spend earnings on curated kid-friendly DTC brands. Skin in the game makes the purchase mean something.
Auto-invest a slice of every reward into a kid-owned Acorns account. Compounding starts at 8.
