PoukPouk, a little purple monster holding a marshmallow

How it works

  1. Choose a few behaviours

    Three good behaviours, one star behaviour and just one to avoid. The fewer the rules, the easier it is for a child.

  2. Give marshmallows, together

    One tap is enough. You do it with your child by your side, and PoukPouk celebrates every effort.

  3. Trade them for rewards

    You choose the rewards. PoukPouk happily eats the marshmallows and gives a surprise for the wardrobe.

Our philosophy

PoukPouk isn't a game to keep children busy. It's a tool for parents that turns everyday challenges into chances to grow.

Simplicity first

Few rules, clear and consistent. A child understands three goals better than fifteen.

Mistakes help us grow

When a marshmallow is lost, PoukPouk lays an egg with a word of encouragement inside. The balance never goes negative.

Not one more screen

Children never use the app alone. No notifications for them, no streaks to keep, nothing designed to keep them hooked.

Every child at their own pace

No rankings, no comparing brothers and sisters. Each child has their own PoukPouk and their own goals.

Parents as role models

After a hard moment, PoukPouk slips you a discreet tip: children learn mostly by example.

PoukPouk moments

The marshmallow

Every good behaviour earns one. The star behaviour earns two.

The egg

A gentle message to remember that everyone makes mistakes.

The gift

Every reward brings a surprise drawn at random.

The wardrobe

Hats, glasses, colours and backgrounds to dress up PoukPouk.

About

PoukPouk was born in a family, around a simple question: how can we encourage good behaviour without punishing, and without adding one more screen to children's lives?

Its name comes from Puck, the Pooka of old legends: a mischievous little creature, playful, imperfect but kind. A bit like all of us.
