Currency & Rewards

Three currencies. Rules your family sets.

ScreenTasker ships with three default reward currencies. All are fully configurable - rename them, change their icons, and set exactly how they convert.

Pocket Money

Real payout

The default currency for earning real pocket money. It accumulates as chores are completed and can be tracked toward an actual payout.

  • Default exchange rate: 10c per unit
  • Carries over day to day by default
  • Exchange rate fully adjustable per family

Stars

Bonus currency

A bonus currency that builds up alongside the others. Stars convert into pocket money today, with bigger rewards planned as a future conversion option.

  • Converts into pocket money by default
  • Carries over day to day by default
  • Exchange rate fully adjustable per family
Fully configurable

Make it your family's system

All three currencies support fractional values, shown to one decimal place by default. Parents choose the name, icon, and exchange rate for each one - use the defaults, or rename them entirely to suit your family.

Parents also decide which conversions are allowed between currencies, for example letting a child trade Stars for pocket money or extra Tickets. Conversion loops that would let a child accumulate currency without limit are never permitted.

What parents control

  • Currency names and icons - pick a default icon or choose a custom one for a free-text name
  • Exchange rates between each currency and real-world value
  • Decimal precision for displayed balances
  • Whether unused currency carries over to the next day
  • Which currency conversions, if any, a child is allowed to make

Set the rules that work for your family

Currency setup happens once, during family setup, and can be changed anytime.
