For Indian families · Android
Responsible parents raise
responsible kids.
YeKarlo Family is a shared record for a household. A weekly budget, chores worth a slice of it, and one honest ledger everyone can see. What a child earns is not a parent's memory of last Tuesday — it is written down.
Free for 14 days, then ₹99 per member, once. No ads, no analytics, no trackers — see the privacy policy.

What it is
A household's bookkeeping, in plain sight
Not a rewards gimmick and not a nagging app. Three things, done properly.
One weekly budget
You set what the family can earn in a week. Every chore is worth a slice of that pool, weighted by how hard it is. Change the budget and every chore re-prices at once — no haggling, chore by chore.
One shared ledger
Every credit and every penalty is an entry, in order, visible to the family. It is append-only: nothing can be edited or quietly deleted. A correction is always a new entry that reverses an old one, with both left on the record.
Rewards a parent decides
A child asks to cash credits in and says what for. A parent answers with all of it, some of it, or none — and writes why. The app records the ask and the answer. What actually changes hands is between the two of you.
How it works
Set up in an evening
A parent starts the family
Sign in with Google or a mobile number, name your family, and set the weekly budget. That is the whole setup.
Each child joins with a code
You make a single-use code for each child from More → Members → Add. It works once, expires in seven days, and you can cancel it. A child never creates an account of their own.
Hand out chores
Pick from 98 presets across Work, Study, Manners and Routine, or write your own. Assign to one child or several at once, and save a set as a template you can apply again next Monday.
Approve the work
A child marks a chore done; it waits for a parent. Approval is what credits the balance — nothing is added on completion alone. Miss a chore and the penalty you set applies, and can be reversed if it was unfair.
Features
What is actually in it
A catalogue of 98 chores
Sorted into Work, Study, Manners and Routine, each weighted by complexity. Add your own categories and chores for whatever is particular to your house.
Per-child budgets
A child can sit on the shared family budget, or have their own. Adding a chore for them then changes only what they earn, and nobody else's share.
Approvals, in one place
Everything submitted waits in one queue. Approve or reject, with a reason. A parent's home screen says how many are waiting.
Penalties, and reversals
A missed chore costs what you said it would. If that was harsh, reverse it — the reversal sits beside the original on the record rather than erasing it.
Streaks and freezes
A run of days kept up, and a small number of freezes per term for the days life gets in the way.
Saving for something
A child picks a goal from the family's reward list and sees how far off it is. It is the difference between earning and saving.
A searchable statement
Last 7 days, last 30, or all time. Opening balance, in, out, net, closing — the same shape a bank statement has, because the question is the same one.
Reminders
A notification when something is due or when work is waiting for a parent. Nothing else — the app does not ping you to come back.
More than one family
Grandparents, a second home, a hostel warden. Permissions are granted per family, not carried between them.
Twelve languages
Every screen, plus the preset chore catalogue. Switch whenever — the family's saved chores keep the language they were written in.
Being plain about it
RC is not money
The app counts in a unit it calls RC. RC is a number in your family's own record. It is not a currency, not stored value, and cannot be bought, sold, redeemed or transferred outside your family.
When a child asks to cash credits in, the app records the request and the parent's answer. Whatever is handed over — money, an ice cream, a later bedtime, nothing at all — happens between the two of you, outside the app. YeKarlo is a bookkeeping tool for an agreement between a parent and a child. It is not a bank, a wallet, or a payment service, and it never touches money.
Privacy
Built for children, so built quietly
This app is meant to be used by children alongside a parent. That changes what is acceptable to collect, so we collect almost nothing.
- A child has no account. No email, no phone number, no Google sign-in — nothing that identifies them beyond the name a parent typed.
- No advertising, ever. No ad identifiers, no ad SDKs, no advertising in the app.
- No analytics or tracking. No behavioural SDKs of any kind, and nothing about what you do outside this app.
- No device permissions. No location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files.
- Your data stays in India. Stored on PostgreSQL with Supabase, on AWS infrastructure in Mumbai (ap-south-1).
- Families are separated in the database itself, by row-level security — not merely by application code remembering to filter.
- We do not sell your data, and do not share it for advertising.
Languages
In the language your family actually speaks
Every screen, and the preset chore catalogue with it. A household should not have to do its own bookkeeping in someone else's language.
Questions
Before you install it
Does my child need a phone number or an email address?
No. A child does not create an account at all. A parent makes a single-use join code and gives it to them; the code is what signs them in. It works once and expires in seven days.
Can a child give themselves credits?
No. A child can mark a chore done, and can even add a chore for themselves, but a parent still has to approve it before anything reaches the balance. Approval is what credits the ledger.
What if a parent applies a penalty unfairly?
It can be reversed. The reversal is a new entry that sits beside the original — both stay on the record. The ledger is append-only on purpose, so nobody can quietly rewrite what happened.
Does the app take or move any money?
The membership fee is the only real money the app ever takes, and it never holds your card details. RC itself is a number in your family's own record with no cash value — anything you actually hand over for it happens between a parent and a child, outside the app.
Can both parents use it?
Yes. Invite the second parent with a code marked “join as a parent”. Permissions — setting budgets, approving work, applying penalties, inviting people — are granted per family, so someone can be a parent in one family and an ordinary member in another.
Is it free?
Free for the first 14 days after you sign in. After that, it's ₹99 per member, once — a discounted price, down from the regular ₹199 — and that member is free for as long as the family uses the app. No subscription and no recurring charge.
How do I delete my account?
From inside the app: More → Delete my account. The app shows you exactly what happens before you confirm. If you have already uninstalled it, see deleting your account.
