Getting kids to do their chores usually means asking, reminding, and asking again – until it’s quicker to empty the dishwasher yourself. LimeTime prices the family’s chores in the one currency children care about: screen time, earned rather than granted.
LimeTime is a screen time bank for families. Kids earn minutes by doing chores, keeping daily routines, and reaching milestones, then spend them on the apps you choose.
Connect Todoist and LimeTime creates a project for each child, with sections for their daily checklist, chores, and milestones. Share a child’s project with them, and their own ticks arrive as requests for you to approve. Once you complete the chore’s task in Todoist, the minutes land in that child’s balance straight away and recurring chores come back to be earned again. Already keep chores in Todoist? Import a project and price each task in minutes.
Features
-
Put a price on every chore. Each task in Todoist shows what it’s worth, like 15 minutes of screen time for keeping their room tidy.
-
Stop being the reminder. Once chores are worth something, kids open the list looking for something to do instead of waiting to be asked.
-
Kids finish chores, you approve it. When a child marks a chore done in LimeTime, it comes to you as a request. Tick it off in Todoist and the minutes land in their balance. Recurring chores come back, ready to be earned again.
-
Know exactly what was done and what it earned. Every completed task becomes a line in a ledger you can both read. No more debating whether the bins really went out on Tuesday.
-
Teach what an hour is actually worth. Minutes are earned one task at a time and spent against a timer, so kids stop asking for screen time and start budgeting it.
