Pocket Justice
Awards, warnings and fines for the family. Issue one in a couple of taps and share it to the family chat as a card worth reading.
Three kinds of justice
Award
For the good stuff. Money is optional: a $0 award is pure recognition, and it still gets its certificate.
Warning
That's one. A warning never carries money, only a count. If it happens again, turn it into a fine in one tap — the warning stays on the record.
Fine
$0.50, $1, $2, $5 or any amount, paid back out of pocket money. Add a photo if you have the evidence.
What it does
Shares to any chat
Every card goes out as an image through your phone's share sheet — WhatsApp, Messages, Google Chat, whatever the family already uses. No bots, nothing to connect.
Fifteen card designs
Certificates, trading cards, yellow cards, wanted posters, speed cameras. They are dealt in rotation, so nobody can predict what lands next.
Two tallies, never netted
Fines owing and awards earned are kept apart: a kid can owe $4 and be owed $6 at once. Record a payment or a payout when money changes hands.
Reward the opposite
An award can clear one of the kid's fines from the last seven days. Always your choice, never automatic.
Streaks and the 4:1 ratio
Each kid's page counts days clean and awards in a row, with a card of its own when a run is worth celebrating, and shows the last 30 days of awards against fines and warnings — aiming for four good for every correction.
Every parent, one ledger
Invite the other parent and you both see the same kids and history. Either of you can issue, settle or void.
Getting started
- 1
Open the app and continue with Google
It is the only way in, and it is free.
- 2
Start your family
Give it a name. If the other parent has already started one, join theirs with the invite code they sent you.
- 3
Add your kids
A name and an icon each. That is the whole setup.
- 4
Invite the other parent
On the Family tab, type their email address and send them the code through any chat. They sign in with that same address.
- 5
Put it on your home screen
Open the app first, then on an iPhone, Safari's Share button → Add to Home Screen; on Android, Chrome's ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen. It opens full screen like any other app, and on an iPhone that is also what lets a card be shared straight into a chat.
Every day
- 1
Tap Add
Pick the kid, then Award, Warning or Fine.
- 2
Say why
An amount if there is one, then a reason: one tap on a common one, or type your own. Add a photo if you have the evidence.
- 3
Share it
The card appears the moment it is issued. Tap Share and pick the family chat.
- 4
Settle up now and then
Each kid's page has their history and streaks: turn a warning into a fine there, or void a fine or warning issued in error — it stays in the history, marked. An award, once given, stands. Admin is where fines paid and awards paid out are recorded.
