The jar on your counter, now in your pocket.

Prickly Jar digitizes the token jar and paper checklist so many families already use — you log tokens for the wins, gently remove them for the tough moments, and everyone can see the jar fill up. You're always the one in control; kids never need a login of their own.

Earn tokens

Log a token the moment it's earned — a finished chore, a kind word, a routine done without a fight.

Redeem rewards

Trade tokens for the rewards your family actually values — screen time, a treat, or a special outing.

Parent-led, always private

You control every token. No child logins, no ads near your family's data — ever.
