About this app

Pocket Joey helps families turn saving into a positive, everyday habit.

It helps parents teach children to save - without spending or cards.

Designed to be used together by parents and children aged 6-12, Pocket Joey encourages kids to work towards simple savings goals by completing tasks and watching their progress grow in a clear, visual way that’s easy to understand and motivating for children.

Instead of focusing on spending, cards, or purchases, Pocket Joey keeps things simple. The app is designed to come before spending, cards, or real money. Children practise patience, goal-setting, and consistency, building healthy saving habits step by step through everyday routines.

How Pocket Joey works

• Parents add a child and set a savings goal
• Children complete simple tasks
• Progress grows visually as tasks are logged
• Families celebrate progress together

Pocket Joey is intentionally designed to support learning through experience rather than transactions. There are no spending features, no cards, and no in-app purchases.

Built for families

• Created for parents and children to use together
• Clear, child-friendly visuals
• Simple goals and progress tracking
• Designed with children’s privacy in mind

Pocket Joey is not a banking app and does not handle real money. Parents remain fully in control and can choose how saving happens outside the app.

Pocket Joey was created to help families talk about saving in a calm, positive way - without spending, or cards.
The app is designed to support learning and habits first, with parents deciding how saving happens in real life.

Whether it’s saving for a small toy or a bigger goal, Pocket Joey helps make saving feel achievable, rewarding, and fun - one step at a time.
