## What is School Morning Routine?

It's a todo list crossed with a game to help your family get ready for school without all the chaos. 

Enjoy your family mornings. Peaceful, happy and calm.

THE PROBLEM

Getting kids ready for school is the worst part of the day. 

Why do you feel like you've run a marathon by 9AM? Kids want to do the right thing (well, most of the time). But they forget easily and get distracted. So to push them out the door on time you have to nag, scold and argue. Until the whole morning is just a crazy-making mess.

BENEFITS OF SCHOOL MORNING ROUTINE

- You won’t have to remind them to get ready over and over (and over) 
- You’ll teach your kids independence and organisational skills.
- They’ll get ready much more quickly
- You won’t be late and you’ll give your kids more time for homework and play.
- It takes away the stress and negativity
- You’ll start your day happy and calm.

HOW IT WORKS

It’s like a to-do list combined with a game. Kids love it. And when they finish their jobs, the app rewards them with a short cat video. Because kids love cat videos. Everyone does.

Don’t waste your mornings nagging. Start the day with calm and energy, knowing you’ve done the best for your family. 

Enjoy these golden days.

OUR STORY

My name is Chris Nielsen and I live in Perth Australia with my gorgeous wife Meg and our three beautiful kids.

I got the idea for the app one day after a particularly chaotic morning getting all three kids off to school. As I arrived at work and walked through the front door of my office I thought: 

“I’m honestly as tired as if I’d just run a marathon.” 

The more I thought about it, the more it didn’t seem right that mornings should be so hard. Kids want to do the right thing (well, most of the time). But the problem is that they forget easily and get distracted. So to push them out the door on time you have to nag, scold and argue. 

I didn’t want to waste these golden days with our kids.

So Meg and I started trying different ways to help our kids get ready for school. We scoured the internet and parenting books for ideas and tried everything. Some things worked and some didn't. The more we learned, the more we realized that nothing existed that got it quite right.  So we started this app. We’ve spent a lot of time tweaking and improving the user experience and we think it’s amazing. 

Now our mornings are relaxed and peaceful. In a small, but very real way, this app has changed our lives. I hope it will help you and your family as well.

If you have any thoughts about the app or parenting in general, email us at hello@bitstate.com.au and let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

### 1/5 — worst app I ever been on

*2026-08-17, version 1.1.10*

this was horrible like so bad they tried to make me pay extra every day like this is horrible

### 5/5 — Love!

*2025-08-18, version 1.1.10*

This helped my tweens and teens funny enough! We even have them for Mom and Dad so we don’t forget what we need to do. Everyone loves the animal videos too. 

PLEASE MAKE AN EVENING ROUTINE VERSION!

### 1/5 — Not free

*2025-05-12, version 1.1.10*

This app was listed as free, but I’m being forced to pay when creating a profile. I’d be happy to pay for premium level after trialing a basic free version. But I’m reluctant to pay for something before trying it.

### 1/5 — This game was horrible

*2025-04-29, version 1.1.10*

If you are a person who likes paying for apps, I highly recommend this app. If you’re not a person who wants to pay for apps I do not recommend this app. It’s horrible and useless.

### 5/5 — I love this app It helps me get up in the morning

### 1/5 — Why

*2024-11-05, version 1.1.10*

I don’t know why you would have to pay for your kids to get a morning routine app this makes no sense

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2024-10-01, version 1.1.10*

It’s terrible you have to pay £2.99 each month

### 1/5 — You have to pay

*2024-08-01, version 1.1.10*

I was so excited to get it then it said I had to pay so it was not for me

### 1/5 — Not free

*2024-07-08, version 1.1.10*

Forces you to pay before you can even see if you’d like the app
