RankPop is a $4.99/month family app where kids earn "Aura" for real-world wins, spend it on screen time, and rank up — with a signed family contract and a one-tap Adult Pass, so parents stop nagging and coaches' praise counts at home.
Boilerplate (paste into articles)
RankPop (rankpop.app) is a family behavior app for children ages 6–14. Kids earn Aura points for everyday wins — first-try wake-ups, homework blocks, handing the tablet over calmly — and spend them on screen time and rewards their family chooses, ranking up through eight levels that never drop. Families sign an "Official RankPop Family Pact" generated from pediatric and school behavior frameworks (AAP, PBIS, CASEL), and coaches and teachers can reward effort with a single tap from any phone. RankPop installs from the web in ten seconds, stores only a child's first name and age, and shows no ads. It was built on Long Island, New York, by a father using AI coding tools. A free 7-day trial, then $4.99 per month.
