Meet the world's chillest banker.
CapyBucks runs your family's allowance — savings goals, interest, paydays, approvals — automatically and ad-free. Kids learn money. You stay exactly this calm.
What CapyBucks does
Allowance runs itself.
Set the amount and the rhythm — daily, weekly, monthly — and payday happens on time, every time, without a single reminder. Your kid watches the countdown. You watch television.
Automatic paydaysA countdown kids actually check
Interest does the teaching.
Give savings a monthly rate and let compounding make the argument for you. Kids see next payout, next date, and why leaving money alone makes more money. That lesson used to cost a finance degree.

Nothing moves without you.
Every expense your kid logs waits for your thumb. Approve it, reject it, or ask what exactly a "gaming investment" is. Receipts can be scanned in — OCR fills the details.

Kids see a game.
You see a ledger.
Same money, two honest views. Eleven levels from 🌱 Starter to 💫 Legend keep kids saving; a clean, parent-approved history keeps you informed.

Your screen
Every kid. Every cent. One glance.
The parent dashboard tracks each child's balance, history, and pending requests — and every lever stays in your hand.
- Balances & history per kid — activity charts show where pocket money actually goes.
- Adjust any balance, any time — every correction lands in the ledger, never silently.
- Allowance, interest & PINs per kid — change the rules in seconds as they grow.
- Approvals & notifications — paydays, requests, and milestones reach you, not just them.
No real money inside. That's the point.
Balances in CapyBucks are virtual — a family ledger, not a bank account. Kids practice earning, saving, and spending with real consequences you define, while actual cash never leaves your pocket unsupervised.
Fair questions.
The things parents actually ask — answered straight, no fine print.
Roughly 6–16. You tailor allowance, goals, interest, and access per kid — a six-year-old saving for a hamster and a teenager saving for a laptop both fit.
No — balances are virtual. You decide how they map to real allowance, so kids learn with real stakes while you keep full control of actual cash.
They log the expense — or scan the receipt and let OCR fill in the details — and you get a notification. Nothing touches the balance until you approve it.
No. Kids sign in with the family code and their own PIN, so a shared iPad or a few minutes on your phone works fine. Their own device works too.
You set a monthly rate per kid and pick the payout rhythm — daily, weekly, or monthly. CapyBucks pays it automatically and shows kids exactly when the next payout lands and how much.
Yes. Parents can edit or delete any transaction and adjust balances directly; every correction is marked in the history, so the ledger stays honest.

Capybaras are the calmest animal on Earth. That's the energy we want around family money. Also, look at him.
Put the capybara in charge.
