Real-life prizes

Rewards that aren't more stuff

Choose from dozens of ready-made prizes, or write your own. Most are about time together: building a fort, baking together, a movie night, one-on-one time.

  • Every prize says who gives it: "This one's with Grandma!"
  • Small daily prizes, bigger ones for a full week
  • A "Prizes waiting" list so no promise gets forgotten

Grown-ups stay in charge

You set the list. You see the week.

Make each child's routine your own, pick which prizes are in the jar, and approve finished lists if you like. Progress shows streaks and the tasks that need a little help.

  • A grown-up check or your own PIN keeps kids out of settings
  • Gentle reminders when you want them
  • Missed a day? Kids can catch up later in the week

For the whole family

Every kid gets their own jar

Up to six kids, each with their own color, buddy, list and jar. Fill the jar with five joules in a week for a Full Jar prize, then watch the shelf of jars grow in the Joule Room.

Questions

Good to know

How does the free week work?

Everything is unlocked for 7 days, for as many kids as you like. When the week ends, nothing is charged. If you want to keep going, a grown-up buys Joule Jar or Joule Jar Plus once. Your lists and history stay saved either way.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There's no sign-in and no email. Everything you enter stays on your device.

What ages is it for?

About 3 to 9. Joules reads everything aloud for little ones, and each child can be set to "Little" or "Big" games.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. One purchase works on both iPhone and iPad with the same Apple ID, and can be shared with your Family Sharing group.

What if Joules doesn't know my child's name?

She'll say "Hi there!" instead. Tap "Ask us to add it" in the app, and we'll include the name in a future update.

Is it safe for kids?

There are no ads, no chat, no links out for kids, and no tracking. Settings and purchases sit behind a grown-up check.

Can two parents use it on different phones?

Not yet. Everything lives on one device for now. Sharing between grown-ups' phones through iCloud is planned as a free update for Joule Jar Plus.
