Compass is a family points tracker for tweens and teens. Together you agree on the behaviors that matter — homework without reminders, telling the truth when it's hard, no phone after the agreed time — and the points each one is worth. Every check fills the jar a little more, toward something they really want. Kids log their own days from their phone; a parent approves with a tap. Parents can log too. Points are shared across the family, so whoever's home can keep score. • Start from a ready list for ages 10+ or a lighter one for ages 7–10, then change anything • Weekly habits and one-time events, positive points and deductions • A goal with a name and a jar that visibly fills • Family Head, Family Members and kids, each with the right permissions • Kids join with a six-character code — no email, no account • Celebrations at 25%, 50% and 75% of the way to every goal • Goal reached → award it, celebrate, set the next one • A weekly recap every Sunday: each kid's points, progress, best habit and what to work on. In the app for parents and kids, and by email if you turn it on Compass started as a printed sheet on our fridge. This is that sheet, made for phones. One subscription covers the whole family. 14-day free trial, then $4.99/month, cancel anytime.
