Free for families
A fair, simple demerit tracker that resets every 7 days.
Keep house rules consistent between home, Grandma's, and the sitter. Caregivers report through a link, you make the call, and your child signs off — like the carbon-copy slips from school.
How it works
- 1
Set your house rules
Pick your reasons, your 7-day limit, and the consequences that fit your family.
- 2
Share a link with caregivers
Grandparents, sitters, and coaches report a demerit from their phone — no account, no app.
- 3
You review, your child signs off
Accept or change each report. Your child reads it, writes a short reflection, and the slip is filed.
Built for real family life
Rolling 7 days
Every point drops off after a week, so a bad Monday doesn't ruin the whole month.
Everyone on the same page
Caregivers see the running total, so rules stay consistent at Grandma's house too.
Parent stays in control
Nothing counts until you approve it. You can even keep a consequence without counting the point.
Merits, too
Reward a good week and let kids earn points back.
Reflection, not just rules
Kids explain in their own words why it mattered — like the signed slip from school.
Free, works on any phone

Are demerits good for kids?
Kids do best with clear, predictable rules and a fresh start. The Ledger keeps points short-lived, lets you recognize good weeks with merits, and asks kids to reflect instead of just paying a price. You decide what fits your family.
