Turn screen time and privileges into reward cards kids can save for later. Build habits without cash, points, or a debit card.
Reward cards for kids.
Sidekick helps families turn screen time, privileges, treats, and everyday choices into saveable non-cash rewards kids can understand.
Kids can save reward cards for later, use minutes or uses responsibly, and build habits around planning instead of asking again and again. Parents keep clear limits without cash payouts, debit cards, points, or bribes.
Why families use Sidekick
• Reward cards: Save screen time, privileges, and non-cash rewards for later.
• Visible limits: Kids can see what they have left before they ask.
• Habit-building routines: Connect morning, bedtime, homework, or chores to card rewards when helpful.
• Visual schedule support: Clear routine steps help kids know what comes next.
• Calmer parenting: Less negotiation, fewer repeated reminders, and more child ownership.
Built for real family routines
Sidekick works for morning routine, bedtime routine, after-school reset, screen time limits, and task initiation support. Routines can add minutes or uses into a card, so follow-through builds a reward asset kids can manage over time.
Families can use Sidekick as a kids reward app, a screen time reward app, or a chores and rewards app when they want clear non-cash reward cards instead of cash, points, debit cards, or banking.
This is not a kids banking app, debit card, or cash tracker. Sidekick is a parenting tool for saveable non-cash rewards, visual routines, and clearer family limits.
Helpful for kids who get stuck
Some kids are not refusing. They are getting stuck. Sidekick supports ADHD and executive function challenges with simple visual steps, flexible recovery, and a quieter way to restart momentum.

- If your child has cards but no routines yet, Today now shows a helpful card summary instead of an empty-feeling screen.
- Premium screens are clearer, with updated plan presentation and pricing copy.
