DadOS is a pause button for the hard moments. Bedtime is loud. Mornings are louder. When your kid melts down and you feel your fuse burn, DadOS gives you 30 seconds of breathing and one age-aware script — so you don't say the thing you'll regret. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Then it gets out of your way. WHAT'S INSIDE • Pause — A 30-second reset. Breathe. Read one script tuned to your kid's age. Get back in there. • Today's Mission — One tiny thing to try today. Not a chore list. Not a system. One thing. • Coach — Ask anything. It knows your kid's nickname, age, and what you're working on. No small talk. • Memories — A quiet place for the moments you don't want to lose. Handwritten in your own words. • Dad Score — Optional. See your rhythm over time without turning parenting into a scoreboard. BUILT DIFFERENT • Two minutes to set up. No legal names, no birthdays, no photos. • Only one child's data shows at a time. Switch kids, switch screen. • Minimal by design. We only collect what helps you show up for your kid. BUILT BY A DAD OF FOUR I'm Kelly. I built DadOS because I needed it. Not another parenting philosophy. A tool for the exact moment when you're about to lose it. If it helps, tell another dad. If it doesn't, tell me why. — DadOS Plus (subscription): • 7-day free trial, then $7.99/month or $79.99/year • Cancel anytime in Settings • Restore purchases available Support: mydados.com/support Privacy: mydados.com/privacy Terms: mydados.com/terms
