The reward chart, grown up.
Chores, feelings, goals and family life — in one warm, private place your child actually wants to open.
A trusted idea, finally made for modern families
Parenting charities and educators recommend reward charts to help children build routines, responsibility and emotional skills. The idea works — but a paper chart on the fridge doesn't fit how families actually live today.
- 🏠 One household, one chart
- ✅ Chores only — nothing about feelings
- 🏆 Siblings compete on the same chart
- 🗑️ Falls off the fridge; nothing is recorded
- 👪 Co-parents, grandparents & carers — each with the right access
- 💛 Chores and feelings, goals, school & the family calendar
- 🌱 Progress measured against the child's own journey
- 🔒 Private, safe, and always there — on any device
Why families choose Gold Stars
Kids-first
Every child gets their own profile and runs it themselves — participation, not instruction.

Feelings, goals, school and family life in one gentle, encouraging place.
Built for real families
Separated parents, grandparents and carers — each sees only the children they should.
Private & safe by design
Each family isolated, sensitive information private by default, access you control and can revoke.
Inclusive
Progress against self, not competition — designed to work across different children and needs.
No family priced out
Affordable, with a mission to let organisations sponsor access for families who need it.

A quick tour. See all features →
Tasks & rewards
Age-appropriate tasks, points and parent-approved rewards that encourage progress.
Mood journal
A gentle daily check-in that helps children notice and name how they feel.
Goals & wish lists
Personal and family goals, and wish lists to work towards together.
School
Track effort and results, and reward progress — not just top marks.
Family calendar
Appointments, school dates, trips, permission slips and packing lists.
Carers & grandparents
Give the right people a safe, view-only window into how the children are doing.
Coordinate around your children — not through them
Each parent, carer or grandparent can have their own secure login, limited to specific children. Custody time and "time with Mum/Dad" live on a shared calendar, so children don't have to carry messages between homes.
How co-parenting works →Designed with children's privacy at the centre
Children's feelings, school and family information are treated as sensitive. We collect only what's needed to run the features you use, never sell data, and never show ads to children.
