Habits that stick

Chores that pay. Rules that count.

Kids always know what to do — you only see what needs you. Chores earn pocket money, or points for rewards you choose, and house rules count too: break one and it costs. You approve the moments that matter, cheer the wins and skip the nagging.

One day in Qdos — 40 seconds

How Qdos works

Set it up once — then the app runs the week, not you.

Set up in minutes — AI does the drafting

Tell Qdos about your family in a sentence — ages, the chores that matter, even “swimming on Tuesdays” — and it drafts each child’s missions with fair amounts, a few house rules and the calendar events it spotted. You review and tweak everything; nothing is created until you say so. Prefer to choose by hand? Start from age-based chore packs instead.

Kids earn, on their own

Each kid signs in with a username or a QR code — no email — and ticks off their own day. Ask for photo proof on the chores that need it, and put an optional cost on missed jobs or broken house rules, so the deal stays fair both ways.

Payday — or the Reward Shelf

In money mode you settle up in cash whenever you’re ready; Qdos keeps every balance straight. In points mode, kids spend what they’ve earned on a Reward Shelf you curate — movie night, a sleepover — and you approve every request.

Siri & Claude, built in

Hands full? Just say it.

Qdos talks to the assistants your family already uses — Siri for everyone on iPhone, Claude for the grown-ups. Nothing to configure, no extra sign-ins.

Hey Siri…

On iPhone

“Add milk to Qdos”

Done — milk is on the shopping list, under Dairy & Eggs.

Also try

“What’s on my Qdos shopping list?”“What are my Qdos tasks?”“What’s my Qdos balance?”

Seven voice actions ship inside the iPhone app — add to the shopping list, hear today’s chores, mark one done, check a balance — in English and French. Install the app and they just work.

Ask Claude

For parents

Plan taco night for Thursday and put the ingredients on the shopping list.

Done — Taco night is planned for Thursday’s dinner, and 6 ingredients are on the family list, each in its aisle.

Qdos is a Claude connector: paste one link into Claude, sign in, and any parent can run the week by chat — draft chores, move calendar events, check what’s waiting for review, even settle payday.

Siri needs the Qdos iPhone app. Claude connections are adults-only — kids stay in the app.

Kid-safe sign-in

Builds better habits

A clear deal, fair turns and visible progress make chores a routine the whole family keeps — not a nightly argument. Good habits for the kids and the grown-ups alike.

Great for ages 5–17

From a five-year-old’s first made bed to a teenager’s own jobs and bigger amounts, Qdos scales the chores to each child — so it grows with your family instead of being outgrown.

Frequently asked questions

What is Qdos?

Qdos is a family reward app for chores and pocket money. Kids earn money — or points — for the tasks they finish, while missed tasks and broken house rules cost. A parent settles up in cash on demand, or approves Reward Shelf requests in points mode. A shared family calendar, meal planner, shopping list and a family-wide wall of cheers are all built in.

Is Qdos free?

Qdos starts with a 7-day free trial. You start it with a payment method so it carries straight on if you love it — nothing is charged until the 7 days are up, and you can cancel any time before then. After that it is one simple subscription for the whole household: US$6.49/month or US$38.99/year. Every parent and every child is included.

Can Qdos set everything up for me?

Yes. Tell Qdos about your family in a sentence or two — your kids’ ages, the chores you care about, even “swimming on Tuesdays” — and it drafts a complete plan: each child’s tasks and amounts, a few house rules, calendar events and a starter shopping list. You review and edit everything before a single tap creates it. Prefer to choose by hand? Start from age-based starter chore packs instead.

Can we use points instead of money?

Yes. Each household picks its reward unit — money or points — during setup, and an admin can switch it any time in Settings. In points mode, kids spend their points on a parent-curated Reward Shelf (movie night, a friend sleepover, screen time) and a parent approves every request.

Does Qdos work with Siri or Claude?

Yes, both. On iPhone, seven Siri voice actions are built in — say “Add milk to Qdos” and it lands on the shared shopping list in the right aisle; ask “What are my Qdos tasks?”, mark one done by voice, or check a balance, in English or French. And Qdos is a Claude connector: a parent can link the household to Claude and manage chores, the calendar, reviews and payday by chat. Claude connections are adults-only; kids use the app.

Does Qdos handle real money?

No. Qdos tracks who is owed what; it never moves, holds, or transfers money and does not link to bank accounts. A parent pays children out by cash or bank transfer whenever they choose.

What are cheers?

Cheers are little notes of encouragement family members send each other — a 👏 or 🎉 with an optional message, often attached to the chore someone just finished. Anyone can cheer anyone (kids can cheer parents too). They carry no money and no scores; they’re purely there to celebrate good effort. Qdos started life as “Kudos”, and the cheers are its heart.

Can a chore need a photo?

Yes. Any task can ask for a photo as proof — the child snaps a picture when they mark it done, and you see it when you approve. Great for “show me the tidy room” chores. You decide per task whether the photo is required or optional.

Can Qdos plan our meals and shopping too?

Yes. Qdos has a shared weekly meal planner and a smart shopping list. Plan the week’s dinners, then send every ingredient to the list in one tap — each one lands in the right aisle automatically. There’s also a flexible Lists & Plans space for shared checklists and trip plans you can split between people.

Can my kids use Qdos without an email address?

Yes. Children sign in with a username and password set by a parent — no email required. You can even sign a child’s device in by scanning a QR code, so there’s nothing for them to type.

Can I see the app the way my child sees it?

Yes. A parent can switch into any child’s view with one tap — handy for checking their task list looks right or showing them how something works — and switch straight back to their own.

What devices does Qdos work on?

Any modern phone or computer through the web, and the native app is free on both stores — the App Store for iPhone & iPad, and Google Play for Android. Qdos also installs to your home screen as an app (a PWA), no app store needed.

Can both parents use it?

Yes. An admin can invite a co-parent to share management. Either adult can approve tasks and settle up — but no one can approve their own work.

How is Qdos different from a chore chart?

Chores carry real, accountable rewards in a per-child wallet, you can attach optional penalties, photos and steps, and balances settle on demand — or run the whole thing on points with a parent-curated Reward Shelf. Plus a shared calendar, meal planner, shopping list and a wall of cheers, all in the same app.
