## What is RootsUp?

Transform Chores into Character-Building Moments

RootsUp helps families build responsibility and money habits through a simple three-part system inspired by child development principles.
Three Ways Kids Learn

Family Contributions
Everyday tasks like setting the table, making beds, and tidying rooms help children build responsibility and contribute to the household.
Optional Extra Jobs
Kids can choose additional tasks, such as yard work or organizing, to earn money and learn the connection between effort and reward.
Money Education
Age-appropriate lessons guide children from early money basics to saving, planning, and budgeting skills as they grow.

For Parents
* Create chore lists for each child
* Set up recurring or one-time tasks
* Assign payment for optional jobs
* Track completion across multiple children
* Review progress and earnings
* Access age-specific money lessons
* Manage everything in one family account

For Kids
* See daily tasks in a clear, visual layout
* Complete chores with a simple tap
* Choose extra jobs to earn money
* Track savings toward goals
* Learn money concepts through guided activities
* Build consistent routines

Why RootsUp Works
RootsUp separates everyday family responsibilities from optional paid work. This helps children understand that contributing at home is part of family life, while extra effort can be rewarded.

The system grows with your family, supporting early learners through teens with tools and lessons that evolve over time.

Designed for Daily Life
* Simple setup with age-appropriate suggestions
* Fast daily workflow for busy families
* Clear parent review and approval flow
* Cross-device access
* Privacy-focused design

Free to Start
RootsUp is currently free for families as we continue improving the app. Additional premium features for larger families are planned.

Built for Families Who Want
* Kids to develop real responsibility, not only reward-based behavior
* One system that works from early childhood through the teen years
* Practical money education in everyday routines
* A long-term, structured approach to habit building

Download RootsUp and start building habits that last a lifetime.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-03-14

**What's New in 1.0.2**

• **Parent Dashboard - Kid Learning Snapshot**  
See weekly learning at a glance for up to three kids (Done, Learning, Completion). Tap "View Detailed Report" to open that child's full report with money metrics, spending by category, and savings goals.

• **Detailed Report - Better Context**  
When you open a kid's report from the dashboard, it now defaults to the last 7 days and highlights Parent Notes & Actions so you can quickly add feedback or next steps.

• **First-Time Guides**  
New in-app walkthroughs help parents and kids get started: dashboard, kids list, chores, rewards, and (for kids) my chores and rewards shop. Guides show once per flow and can be replayed from the menu. Age-aware for kids: simplified for ages 3–5, full walkthrough for 6+.

• **Learning Games - Read to Me**  
"Read to me" and spoken feedback are now available in more learning games, including Time vs. Money Optimizer, Sale or Scam?, Comparison Shopping Pro, Fixed or Variable Expenses, and Compare Before You Buy. Turn on sound in settings to use them.

• **Easier Co-Parent Invites**  
Invite links in email now open directly in the app. Invitations are preserved through sign-in (including Google or Apple), so co-parents can accept after logging in without losing the invite.

• **Kids Can Edit Savings Goals**  
Kids can edit existing savings goals from the savings goals screen with a new edit button and clearer flow.

• **Smoother Daily Use**  
Tap or scroll to dismiss the keyboard on form screens. Parent navigation order is now: Dashboard, Kids, Chores, Approvals, Analytics. Onboarding guides you to add children first so age-appropriate chore templates work from the start. Template actions on Family Chores are clearer with a confirmation step.

• **Reliability & Security**  
Chore completion works correctly when parents submit on behalf of a child. Invite tokens are stored securely. Various under-the-hood improvements for stability and security.

Thanks for using RootsUp. We’re always improving—send feedback from in-app support.
