โ ๏ธ These are just for fun! Nobody knows what Bitcoin will be worth. Prices go up AND down. The real lesson is: the earlier you save, the more time your money has to grow.
๐ก Why does the value change? Your sats stay the same, but Bitcoin's price goes up and down every day. This is what makes it exciting, and why people say "stack sats and wait"!

๐ก Why show this? So you can see what a bigger stack of sats looks like in real money. 0.1 BTC is called "a tenth of a Bitcoin". Some people save for years to own a whole Bitcoin (100,000,000 sats). How long would it take you at your chore rate?

Welcome to SatsKids!

A Bitcoin savings app for families
SatsKids helps kids learn about Bitcoin, saving, and the value of money, through tasks, savings goals, and weekly sat payments.
Sats are simulated by default. Real lessons, no real money, no real money needed to start.

Set up parent mode
Parent mode lets you add chores, set sat values, pay invoices, and manage the app. It's protected by a PIN you set yourself.
Kids can view their balance and tick tasks but can't pay themselves or change settings.
๐ก Turn on Parent mode on the home screen to get started. You'll set your PIN on first use.
๐
Want to use real sats?
By default everything is simulated. Great for learning. When you're ready to use real Bitcoin Lightning payments, you can connect to an LNbits backend.
Tap โ๏ธ Settings on the home screen to configure a Lightning connection. This is optional. The app works fine without it.
๐ We recommend starting in simulated mode and switching to real sats once the kids understand how it works.
โ๏ธ Settings
Lightning Backend (optional)
Connect to a real LNbits instance to use actual Bitcoin Lightning payments instead of simulated sats. Leave blank to keep using simulated mode.
Backup & Restore
Export saves all wallets, balances, tasks and history to a file. Import restores from a previous export.
