Chores done. Rewards earned. Less arguing. Choretastic gives families a simple loop. Parents set up chores. Kids complete them. Parents approve. The reward your child earned (screen time, points, allowance) lands automatically on the kid's device. Built natively for iOS with no web wrappers. HOW IT WORKS 1. Parents create chores and choose what each chore is worth. 2. Kids see their chores and mark them complete. 3. Parents approve with one tap (with optional photo proof). 4. The reward shows up on the child's device automatically. 5. For screen time rewards, Apple's Family Controls framework on the kid's device handles the enforcement. KEY FEATURES - Chore Management. Create one-time, daily, or weekly chores with custom rewards. - Reward System. Choose what motivates your child: screen time, points toward allowance, custom rewards. - Watchdog Mode. Set bedtime blocks, school-hour restrictions, and daily limits when screen time is the chosen reward. - Pause & Bonus Time. One-tap pause for date nights, road trips, sick days, and family movie nights. Grant extra time on the fly when the moment calls for it. - Streaks. Kids build streaks for completing chores consistently and earn bonus rewards. - Family Sharing. Invite both parents with a simple code, perfect for co-parenting across households. - Safe Zones. Get alerts when your child arrives at or leaves home, school, or other places you set up. - Family Dashboard. See everyone's progress at a glance: chore completion, balances, weekly trends. - Offline Support. Approve chores and manage settings without internet; everything syncs when back online. - Kid-Friendly Interface. A dedicated kid mode with large buttons and clear instructions. - Profile System. Create reusable configuration profiles for rules across children. WHY CHORETASTIC Most parental control apps block but don't motivate. Most chore apps track but can't connect chores to real rewards on the kid's device. Choretastic closes that gap. When you set screen time as the reward, Apple's Family Controls framework on the child's device handles the enforcement. When you set points or allowance, the balance updates automatically. Either way, your kids learn that effort leads to a real outcome, not a sticker on the fridge. BUILT FOR FAMILIES - Works across households for co-parenting. - Supports multiple children with individual settings. - Privacy-first: COPPA compliant, no ads, no data selling. - Built natively for iOS with no web wrappers. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone running iOS 17 or later. - For screen time rewards: Family Controls authorization on the parent device, and Choretastic installed on the child's device. Download Choretastic and turn the daily chore battle into a routine that actually works. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The call
