About The Sprout App

Does getting chores done at home feel more like a daily negotiation than family teamwork?

The Sprout App was created by 2 tired dads of children aged 4 to 13. Dads who were tired of reminding, asking, negotiating and, all too often, asking again.

We wanted a simple way to help our children take more responsibility for their everyday tasks without it turning into a battle. We looked for an app that was genuinely motivating, fun, engaging and affordable and we couldn't find one that did all of that well.

So, we decided to build it.

Listen to an interview with one of the Co-Founders, Dale, on KIIS FM.

The Sprout App is a family-friendly chore management app designed to make everyday responsibilities feel less like a chore chart and more like a fun, positive system that children actually want to use.

  1. Parents assign tasks and choose how many points each activity is worth.
  2. Children complete their tasks and earn points.
  3. Children save the points up for rewards they help choose.

The app is simple, flexible and focused on encouraging children to take initiative, build independence and feel proud of what they can do.

The Sprout App is built for the whole family.

Multiple parents, grandparents, and carers can be connected, along with multiple children, so everyone can stay on the same page and work towards the same goals. Children can even combine points to work towards bigger shared rewards, turning everyday responsibility into a little more teamwork, cooperation and family fun.

Designed for real family life

The Sprout App works on phones and tablets, with a parent-managed experience that gives children their own engaging space to check activities, track progress and enjoy the fun, quirky side of the app. You can also connect children's devices or set up a shared family tablet in “Kitchen Mode”, making it easy for kids to stay involved throughout the day.

Less nagging. More doing.

At its heart, The Sprout App is about reducing the daily friction around chores.

Encouraging autonomy, responsibility and accountability helps children develop good habits and take more ownership of their everyday responsibilities while also helping parents spend less time reminding and more time enjoying their families. This means getting children to help with the chores doesn't always have to be a battle.

We created The Sprout App to bring:

  • ✓A little more peace into family life.
  • ✓A little more independence for our children.
  • ✓A lot more moments for families to simply enjoy being together.

We hope it can bring the same positive change to your home that it has brought to ours.
