Works without a phone for your child.
Your child doesn't need a phone of their own. Use the family phone or a tablet, or connect their own device when you're ready.
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.

Kroni is a chores and allowance app for families with kids aged 6 to 14. Parents set up chores and choose which ones need approval. 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 also works in a browser on a computer. 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.
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.
Kroni keeps track. The app does not transfer real money.
See everything Kroni can doChores, routines and a balance your kids can see.
Read aloud
The device's own voice reads the chore and its steps. Good for kids who are still learning to read.
Practice time
Reading, times tables or an instrument: your child starts the timer, can take breaks, and hands it in once the minutes are in.
Stamp card
Each approved chore adds a stamp. When the card is full, your child can ask for the reward you picked.
Good to know
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. If you trust a child to do what they say, their chores can count the moment they tick them. Chores that need a photo still wait, and you can undo for 24 hours.
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.

Why subscribe on the web?
When you subscribe at kroni.no, more of what you pay usually goes into developing Kroni. Apple and Google keep a share of every purchase in their stores. Sales and promo codes are also only available on the web. You manage the subscription yourself on the subscription page (switch plan, change card, cancel), and our support team can see it and help you directly. The same Kroni Family unlocks both the app and the web.
I subscribe through the App Store or Google Play. Can you help?
Subscriptions bought in the App Store or Google Play are handled entirely by Apple and Google: payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds. We can't change them, so please contact Apple or Google. To move to the web, cancel the subscription there, and you can subscribe at kroni.no once the period is over.
Can we use Kroni on a computer?
Yes. Kroni works in the browser at kroni.no, with the same account and the same family as the app. You can add chores and approve from your computer, and your kids can use their side of Kroni there too. Everything is the same in the app and in the browser.
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.
