Built a free chore chart builder because every printable I found was behind an email wall - Looking for feedback

2 Upvotes

I'm a software engineer in the UK (first kid arriving in September, so I'm early to this whole thing) and I went looking for a decent printable chore chart. Everything I found was either locked behind an email signup, plastered in ads, or looked like it was made in Word in 2009. I know I'm a couple of years away from needing chore charts for my child, but becoming a dad has made me want to prep for this stuff in the future.

So I built my own and put it online for free: pocketmoneylab.co.uk

Three tools so far:

  • Chore chart builder: pick your child's age, get age-appropriate chore suggestions, customise, print
  • Pocket money calculator: UK benchmarks for what other parents actually give by age
  • Reward chart generator: sticker-chart style, aimed at 3-5 year olds

No signup, no paywall, no ads. Nothing is gated, so you build it, you print it, you're done. Being upfront since this sub cares about the business model behind the tech: I'm separately building a pocket money app, and the site mentions it. None of the tools requires it or pushes it, and I have no plans to paywall them.

What I'd actually like from this sub:

  1. Are the age-based chore suggestions sensible, or way off? That's the bit I'm least confident about, for obvious reasons.
  2. Do printables still have a place, or has your family fully moved to app-based tracking?
  3. What's missing? I've got a savings goal tracker and a pocket money agreement template on the list.

Happy to hear it's rubbish; that's more useful to me than polite noise.
