For parents who read the manual before the first coin: every part of the app, what it’s for, and what it costs.
Get startedCoins are the whole economy. They can’t be bought or given away, only earned.
A perfect score, a match won, a piano piece learned by heart. You decide what counts. The coin comes when it’s finished, never for trying.
For anything with a number: a 50 m time, push-ups, a long jump. Each new best is saved with how much it improved, and that gain never changes later.
Every coin can keep a photo, a few lines and where it happened. A few months in, the balance doubles as a scrapbook.
Coins earned minus coins spent, worked out by the server. Nobody edits their own balance.
New families get three one-tap starters: a perfect score at school, a match won, a push-up record. Nothing is added until you tap one.
Count the tries it took before the win, and watch a challenge get easier over the months.
Rewards are your house rules, written down in the app. Kids decide when to spend.
Spending a time reward starts a countdown. Pause it for dinner, resume after, and everyone can see when time is up.
An hour of screen time for one coin, a later bedtime, a toy for seven merits, or pocket money. New accounts start with a few examples to change.
What was spent, when, and on what. No more arguing about last Tuesday.
Chores, homework, practice. The work that doesn’t end in a win still adds up to something.
Respect, focus, helping out. Name them, pick an emoji, and log one with a tap.
Each merit can carry a short note, so four focus points become four named lessons.
Merits never turn into coins. They buy their own rewards, at prices you choose.
Log practice that isn’t a challenge, like a swim session or an hour of scales. It shows in the feed for the family to cheer.
Swimming on Tuesdays at 18:30, from September to December. Enter it once and the app keeps track.
Add the day and time of each class, the place, and which child it’s for.
After each class the app asks how it went. Attending can earn a coin, so showing up counts too.
Subscribe from Apple or Google Calendar. It shows the activity, the address and the time, never a child’s name.
Point the season at a grading or an exam. Two weeks before it ends, the app reminds you it’s time to re-register.
Enter a term that’s already running and catch up on the past classes in one go.
Change the pool, the day or the time. Past sessions stay exactly as they were.
A first belt, a graduation, a race finished. A milestone keeps the moment.
Several photos, the day it happened, and a quote worth keeping.
Give a milestone a colour and a symbol, so a black belt doesn’t look like a first swim badge.
Turn a milestone into a page for the grandparents. They can leave a note without making an account.
Attach coins or merits to a milestone, as the prize for getting there.
Parents run the accounts, kids use them, grandparents cheer.
No email or password needed for a child. Switch between accounts from yours.
Invite a co-parent to help manage the children’s accounts.
Grandparents and coaches can ask to follow a child. A parent approves each request first.
Family and followers react to every win in the feed.
Followers can get a short summary of the week by email, and turn it off any time.
Tag things as Swimming or Science, then look at one area at a time, over the past week, month or year.
A private list of the schools, camps and goals you imagine for each child. Only parents see it, and it’s never a checklist.
Your kids’ photos stay private to your family and approved followers.
Nothing is public until you make one win public, and a public win needs a photo you chose.
We don’t sell data, show ads or embed analytics.
Location is optional, asked only when you tap it, and stored as a place name.
Download everything as spreadsheets or a single file, from the app, at any time.
Deleting the account removes every profile, photo and public link.

Pro isn’t for sale yet. Every family starts on the free plan.
Yes. Create an account and use it with your children at no cost. The table above shows exactly where the free plan stops.
A term of a weekly activity: swimming on Tuesdays from September to December, say. You enter it once, the app asks after each class whether your child went, and the classes can go straight into your calendar.
No. One coin for an hour of screen time is what works in our house. Change any price, add your own rewards, or leave screen time out entirely.
Your family, and followers a parent has approved. A single win becomes public only when you choose to share it.
No. A parent creates and manages each child’s account, with no email or password.
Not yet. The full app runs in any browser at mychallengecoin.app/web, Android phones included.
Download all of it from the app, then delete the account. Deleting removes every profile, photo and public link.
