CHORE MOTIVATION FOR FAMILIES
Kids who do chores become more successful adults. Fill Aurelio makes chores the highlight of your kid's day.
Your child sets a savings goal they care about, then fills up Aurelio — their piggy bank — by doing chores. The result? They ask to do chores, rather than the other way around.

HOW IT WORKS
The motivation flip
Your child picks a savings goal they care about. Suddenly chores aren't your idea — they're the path to something your child actually wants.
Built for the long middle
The first week is easy. Week five is where every chore chart fails. Fill Aurelio keeps progress visible so motivation doesn't fade between start and finish.
One family, one price
$0.99/month covers your whole family (prices vary by region). Every child gets their own profile. No per-kid fees, no upsells, no surprises.
Set up in 5 minutes, use daily in 30 seconds
Parents add chores once. Kids open the app, tap today's chores, and watch their savings grow. That's it.
