## What is Tidy Stars?

Tired of asking the same little jobs a hundred times? Tidy Stars turns tidy-up into something kids actually want to do. They pick a job, get it done, and earn a star.

GROWN-UPS PIN (DEFAULT): 1975
Change it anytime inside Grown-ups after you unlock.

Stars add up toward a treat you choose together — a story, a biscuit, five minutes of a favourite game. You stay in charge with a parent PIN, so the grown-up settings stay grown-up. Built for little ones (about five and under). Big buttons, cheerful colours, simple screens. Add more than one child if you’ve got siblings. You can even add a photo of the job or your child so it feels like theirs. No ads. No accounts. No monthly fee. One-time purchase on the App Store, and we don’t collect your data. Made by a dad who wanted tidy-up to feel like a win, not a row. If that sounds useful, give Tidy Stars a go.

- Chore completion rewards with stars
