Chores, points & rewards for families
Small jobs. Sweet rewards.
The made bed, the fed dog, the homework done without a reminder. Point Berry turns the small stuff into points your kids can see grow and spend on rewards you choose.

A day with Point Berry
- 7:05 am
Morning must-dos
Bed made, teeth brushed, dressed. Each one is a tap, a quick “Did you finish?”, and a ring that fills up.
- 3:40 pm
After school
Homework, a clean playroom, the dog fed. Shared jobs go to whoever gets there first.
- 7:45 pm
Bedtime check-in
You approve the day from one list, with a photo where you asked for one and a note if it was already paid today.
- Friday
Cash in
Screen time, a trip to the popcorn shop, or saving up for the LEGO set. Kids see exactly how close they are.
What’s in the box
Family chat
One thread for the whole family, with notifications on everyone’s phone.
Activity feed
Points earned, rewards redeemed, new chores and price changes, all in one place.
Photo proof
Ask for a picture of the clean room. Photos stay private to your family.
Challenges
Weekly goals and month-long streaks that pay a bonus when they’re met.
No double-paying
Before you award or approve, you see if that chore was already paid today.
Make it theirs
Photo avatars and ten color themes, picked by each person for themselves.
Works with your AI assistant
“What’s waiting for me to approve tonight?”
Point Berry has a built-in MCP server. Connect Claude or another assistant and ask it to check what’s pending, add a chore, award points or post in the family chat. Read-only or read-and-write, and you can switch it off any time.
How to connectFor kids and for grown-ups
For kids
- Tap a chore, say you did it, watch the points arrive

- Award anything on the spot, even from the chore list
- Weekday-only chores that don’t break weekend streaks
- Two parents, one family, notifications for both
Private by default
Kids don’t have accounts, emails or tracking. There are no ads, no analytics and nothing sold. Photos and messages are only ever shown to your own family, and you can export or delete everything whenever you like. Read the privacy policy.
Made at home
Point Berry started as a points chart for two brothers and grew from what they asked for: a way to message home, photos to prove the playroom really was clean, and colors they picked themselves. It’s built on the open-source Pointsy project and shared the same way.
Questions
Is Point Berry really free?
Yes. There’s no subscription, no premium tier and no ads. It’s a family project, not a business.
Do my kids need email addresses or phones?
No. Kids sign in on any family device by tapping their name and entering a 4-digit PIN. Only parents have accounts.
Is there an app to download?
It’s a web app you can add to your home screen on iPhone, iPad and Android. It opens full-screen like any other app, with notifications.
What happens to photos and messages?
They’re stored only for your family and shown only to people signed in to it. Nothing is sold, shared or used for ads, and you can delete your family’s data at any time.
Can two kids share a chore?
Yes. A chore can be for one kid, for everyone, rotate between kids, or be first-come-first-served with a daily or weekly limit.
