## What is Winking Star?

Winking Star is a warm, playful habit tracker for families.

Every day, your child checks off their activities: sleep, teeth, reading, breakfast, walks, or whatever your home needs. Every check earns a star, and every week those stars help a Mystery Pet grow as your routine fills up.

Made for families:
- Up to 6 kids on one shared board
- Invite a partner, co-parent, or grandparent to see the same board from their phone
- Choose each kid's theme, avatar, and weekly routine
- Add birthday-week banners and split-home custody labels

Parent-friendly:
- Parental gate on anything that leaves the app, uploads a photo, or deletes an account
- No ads and no third-party tracking
- Kid Mode locks editing when you hand the phone to your child
- Calm Mode turns off confetti for quieter feedback
- Supports iOS accessibility settings including Reduce Motion, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver

Print your weekly summary straight from the app to stick on the fridge.
