Points, not a game
Chores carry a point value you choose. There is no character to level up, no pet to keep alive, no streak system that turns a to-do list into a game.
Feature
A points and rewards board, kept simple on purpose.
Gamified habit apps can need more upkeep than the chores themselves: characters to level, pets to feed, quests to maintain. TapTidy's rewards board skips all of it. Chores carry a point value. Points add up. You redeem them for rewards you defined.
Free includes a personal rewards board (up to 3 active rewards) and a household with up to 3 members. TapTidy Pro removes the member and reward limits.
Rewards you actually define
Movie night, extra screen time, a new board game, an ice cream date — set the reward and its point cost. The catalog is yours, not a default list.
Requests, then approval
A member requests a redemption; a household owner approves it. Points are only spent once approved, so the balance always reflects reality.
Why it helps
Motivation systems fail when they need more effort than the task they are motivating.
The apps this replaces usually go one of two ways: too bare to matter, or too elaborate to keep up with. TapTidy sits in between.
Works for one person
The personal rewards board does not require a household at all — set it up for yourself and use it exactly like a simple habit-reward tracker.
Scales to a family
Bring the household in on Pro and the same points system becomes shared: individual balances, a shared reward catalog, and an approval queue for the owner.
Pairs with the chore board
Points attach naturally to chores on the chore board, so completing assigned work is what actually earns them.
Plan fit
Solo on Free, full household economy on Pro.
The rewards board is one of the few Pro-adjacent features with a real free tier: everyone can try it, with a cap instead of a lock.
| Capability | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Personal points & rewards board | Included | Included |
| Active rewards at a time | Up to 3 | Unlimited |
| Household economy (multiple members, children) | Up to 3 household members | No member limit |
Rewards board FAQ
The questions people ask after they compare us with Habitica.
Short answer: no. Here is the longer one.
No. There are no characters, pets, battles, or daily quest systems to keep fed. TapTidy's rewards board is deliberately simple: chores carry point values, points accumulate, and you redeem them for rewards you define yourself.
Yes. Every account gets a personal rewards board for free, capped at 3 active rewards, so you can try earning and redeeming points solo. Free also includes a household with up to 3 members.
A household owner. A member — including a child on a PIN login — can request a redemption, but points are only deducted once an owner approves it.
Free accounts are capped at 3 active rewards at a time, with a household of up to 3 members. TapTidy Pro removes the reward cap and the member limit.
