Try The Margin with no account

This opens the real app in your browser, with a made-up family already living in it: the Riveras. Their week is planned, the chores are shared out between the kids, the meal plan feeds a shopping list, and a month of money has gone in and out.

Nothing you change here is sent to us. The sandbox lives in this browser and clears itself after two days. If you like what you made, keep it: we email you a sign-in link and everything comes with you.

Things to try first

• Tick off a chore as one of the kids and watch their points go up.
• Add a dinner to the week, then send its ingredients to the shopping list.
• Move a card along a board, or write a note that links to another.
