Struggling with morning routines, brushing teeth, or homework? With Messy Monsters, it’s clear what your child needs to do - so you can skip the nagging and start building new routines. Messy Monsters is a kids routine app for ages 4-12 that helps you create simple, sustainable habits together. With checklists for kids, tasks, and reward systems, it’s easy to get started - and easy to stick with. You decide tasks together, talk through what’s not working, and build new routines step by step. When your child completes tasks, they earn rewards that motivate them. As routines stick, you can switch to new tasks. We built the app to be simple to use in everyday life - even during busy weeks. Because what’s fun and easy is what actually becomes a habit. We’re parents ourselves, with kids aged 0-12, and one of us is a special education teacher. Many of our users face similar challenges: getting out the door on time, reducing screen time, and making bedtime work. You’re not alone - and you can always reach out if you want support. HOW IT WORKS • You decide together what needs to be done • Choose ready-made suggestions or create your own tasks • Your child checks off tasks every day • Your child follows a “Gold Journey” towards a treasure chest • Along the way, rewards make it more fun • When a treasure chest is reached, your child earns money in their piggy bank and unlocks new items • Your child can customize their avatar and appearance • Add automatic weekly or monthly allowance that is also saved in the piggy bank WHY IT HELPS The app is based on positive reinforcement and simple, everyday strategies that build responsibility, cooperation, and routines - making daily life easier. FEATURES • Parent account where you can add children • Option to share your child with other adults • Reward system with digital rewards and money • Automatic weekly or monthly allowance • Music player with our own song to help kids wind down • Child view focused on what matters most • Parent view with weekly overview and settings • 30-day free trial Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled. We care about children’s screen time - this is an app you use together. If you have an account with us, we offer ongoing support if you need help getting started, developing your routines, or sticking with them over time.
