'If this ringtone goes off, then go to the bathroom and brush your teeth.' Especially in these days, you will probably be spending much time at home. Many people will be losing their routines because of that. The RITME-app can remind you to engage with activities, such as brushing your teeth, doing the dishes or taking a moment to reflect. In the app, you can set up a reminder and connect it with a QR-code sticker. When the ringtone of this reminder starts to ring, you can turn this reminder off by scanning the connected QR-code sticker. Because of this, you'll be able to activate yourself for household chores or personal care and get motivated to stay active. This (digital) helping hand, by scanning a QR-code, can improve your quality of life and your feeling of control over your schedule. The app is free to download, so give it a try. The QR-codes can be delivered to your doorstep for a small fee.

Keep your family safe, organized, and on the same page. FamiCircle brings a live family map, a shared calendar, chores kids actually want to do, meal plans, and lists together in one app — so you can stop juggling five of them. FAMILY MAP & SAFETY See your family on a live map and relax. Set up places like Home and School to get automatic arrival and departure alerts, follow the day's location history, and get a heads-up when someone's phone battery runs low. Kids check in with one tap — "I made it!" — and build check-in streaks. The SOS button sends an instant alert with location to every parent, protected by a PIN-guarded cancel and a practice mode so kids can learn it safely. Leave-by alerts tell you when to head out to make the next event on time. SHARED FAMILY CALENDAR Everyone's schedule in one place: color-coded by family member, with month, week, and day views and automatic conflict detection so you never double-book the family again. Recurring schedules handle school terms and weekly activities, and you can import from Apple and Google Calendar. CHORES KIDS LOVE Turn chores into a game. Kids earn stars, keep streaks alive, and spend them in your family's own reward store — screen time, treats, or that toy they keep asking about (add it straight from a store link). Parents approve every redemption. Responsibilities track the non-negotiables like bedtime and homework, and the chore wheel makes assignments fair and fun. ALLOWANCE Turn stars into pocket money with your own exchange rate, cash-out requests, and a full history. MEAL PLANNING Plan the week's dinners in minutes: import recipes from any website, let the family vote on what to eat, fill your week with one tap, and send the ingredients to your shopping list. Cook mode keeps the screen awake with step-by-step timers. LISTS THAT WORK Shopping lists sorted by aisle with smart suggestions, to-dos with assignees and due dates, and packing lists for trips. TRIPS & BUDGET Plan family trips with itineraries, packing lists, and expenses. Track the family budget with spending trends, savings goals, and month-to-month rollover. FamiCircle speaks your language: English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Greek, Arabic, Thai, and Chinese. Free for the whole family. FamiCircle Pro unlocks the full location and safety suite, and more.
