Bali Motorization App CONVENIENT SHADE CONTROL FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE 
 Easy to set up and use, the Bali Motorization App makes life easier by giving you full control of your Bali Motorized Shades from your mobile device - Intuitive and user-friendly - Powered by Bluetooth/Z-Wave technology. - Monitors the battery life of your paired shades and remotes. - Optional Bali Motorization Gateway (USB/plug) allows for shade control from anywhere in the world. - Grant permission to family members to control shades through multi-user functionality. 
 For the optimal experience, the app has the ability to combine Bluetooth and Z-Wave for total control of your shades. 
 Bluetooth-Only Functionality - Bluetooth-enabled shades pair easily to a mobile device without a gateway for in-home use. - Enjoy full shade control with instant response time. - Set up Routines to open and close multiple shades at specific times. - Ability to update firmware for continued enhancements. 
 Bali Gateway (Z-Wave) Functionality - Control your shades with the Bali App from anywhere in the world. - Shades can be integrated with voice-controlled smart home devices, like Alexa and Google Home. - Set up Routines to open and close multiple shades at specific times, such as sunrise and sunset. - Ability to use new gateway plug as a smart plug, increasing your smart home experience. - Easily control single or multiple motorized shades (recommended up to 7 shades per gateway device*) directly from your mobile device. 

 Safety: Look like you're at home—even when you're not—by raising and lowering shades automatically. 
 Energy Efficiency: About 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through windows. Automating allows you to strategically open shades to let sunlight help heat your home or close them to maximize insulation at the window. You can also reduce heat gain from sunlight in the summer.** 
 For the Sophisticated Home: From the beauty of Bali Shades to the beauty of cutting-edge control, Bali ensures each room makes a powerful, sophisticated statement. 
 *Number of shades per gateway depends on many factors, including the number of remotes added. Each shade associates exclusively with one gateway; you cannot control the same shade with multiple gateway devices. If a home requires more shades to be lifted, simply add another gateway device. **Information provided by the consumer resource of the U.S. Department of Energy: energy.gov.

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/
