Allowly
Spend, Save and Give jars for every kid — no bank link, no card, no fee
The three-jar allowance ledger: give each child a Spend, Save and Give jar, set a weekly or fortnightly allowance on the payday you choose, pay for chores with one tap, and read back every dollar. Free in your browser, nothing to install.

What you can do in Allowly on the web
Three jars per child
Spend, Save and Give balances that add up live, drawn as fill-level jars you can tap to open the history behind them.
Allowance that catches up
Set an amount, weekly or every two weeks, and the payday. Open Allowly any time after payday and it offers every missed payment in one tap — including the two weeks you forgot.
Chores that pay into a jar
List the jobs you actually pay for, pick the jar each one fills, and tick it off. The money moves into that child's jar immediately and the chore lands in their history.
History kids can read
Every allowance, chore payout, deposit and purchase, per jar and per child, with the note attached — editable and deletable, so a miscount takes five seconds to fix.
Family view
One number for everything the kids hold, money-in by week, a donut of how the family splits spend/save/give, and each child's totals side by side.
Stays on your machine
No account, no bank link, no card for your child. Export a JSON backup or a CSV of the whole ledger whenever you want a copy.
