Less reminding.
More parenting.

Xtra Hands is a warmer way to run the household. Kids get the reminders, chores rotate fairly, allowance lands in a real ledger — and you get your evenings back.

Six small quiet ideas that change the whole house.

What's inside · 01 / 06
01 — Reminders

The reminders aren't yours.

Push notifications remind kids of their own chores, on their own schedule. You stop repeating yourself. They stop tuning you out.

02 — Rotation

Fair turns, no arguments.

Daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly rotation across kids. "Whose turn is it?" has an answer — before anyone asks.

03 — Grace

Missed it? Another chance.

Some chores shouldn't be missed. Mowing the grass, for instance — turn on carry-over and it shows up again each day until it's done. Dishes don't need it. You decide, per chore.

04 — Allowance

A real ledger, not a sticker chart.

Earn on completion. Optional monthly expenses. Parents log payments in and out. Kids watch a running balance grow.

05 — Devices

One tablet, six phones, or none.

A shared household tablet with PIN-switch, a phone per kid, or no device at all — parents can check chores off on behalf of little ones.

06 — Vacation

Away? The app knows.

Mark a kid as traveling and their chores simply don't happen. No guilt trip, no catch-up queue waiting when they land.
