Monstir tracks allowance without ever touching real money. Here's how the ledger works, and why we built it that way.
A running tally, not a bank
Every chore you approve adds to a child's earned balance. The app shows exactly what each kid has earned and what you've paid out — no mental math, no forgotten weeks. When you pay, you mark it paid. That's the whole mechanism.
No cards, no in-app payments
There's no real money in the app and no debit card. You pay your kid however works for your family — cash, e-transfer, whatever. The ledger just makes sure everyone agrees on the number.
