About
A free, private way to make chores rewarding
Point Berry is a small, independent app with one job: help families turn chores into points kids actually want to earn — without a subscription, a credit card, or your data.
Why we built it
We kept running into the same thing: every “kids money” app wanted a monthly fee, a bank link, and a credit card — just to reward a few chores around the house. For a lot of families, that’s far more than they need, and more of their kids’ data than they’re comfortable handing over.
Rewarding your kids shouldn’t require a subscription, a bank account, or handing over their data.
So we made Point Berry: points instead of real money, nothing to install from an app store, and privacy built in from the start.
What we believe
- Free, for every family
Every feature, no subscriptions, no ads, nothing to buy.
- Private by design
Kids are just a name, an avatar and a PIN. No kid emails, no tracking, no selling data — ever.
- Honest
No dark patterns, no hidden fees, no lock-in. Export or delete your family’s data whenever you like.
- For everyone
Built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, works on any device, and has no minimum age. Chores are universal.
How Point Berry stays free
There’s no subscription and no ads because there’s nothing to monetize — we don’t sell data and we don’t take a cut of anything.
It’s a family project, run at home, and kept small on purpose.
Who’s behind it
Point Berry is run by Harry Mitchell and built with the two kids it was made for, who help decide what comes next. It’s a fork of Pointsy by Highfivery, shared under the MIT license.
Questions, ideas, or feedback? We’d love to hear from you.
