POINTS THAT TURN INTO REAL REWARDS Kids earn Points for work they finish, then redeem Rewards you actually want to offer. The catalog is yours—screen time, a family outing, or a treat you already planned. 3. HOUSE RULES THAT APPLY IN THE MOMENT Should Do and Don't items score Behavior on the spot. Help without being asked, lose Points for a Don't, and let the rule—not the argument—do the talking. 4. CHALLENGES KIDS CAN WEAR WITH PRIDE Set a Challenge the family can finish together, then unlock a Badge they can show off. Progress becomes something they want to keep, not something you have to push. KEY FEATURES 1. CHALLENGES AND BADGES Tie a Challenge to Habits, Behavior, Lists, or Pomodoro. Unlock a Badge when the family finishes, and repeat daily, weekly, or on a date range you set. 2. HABITS WITH POINTS Assign Points or a Reward to every check-in. Add negative Points to discourage a bad Habit, and choose whether everyone must finish or one person is enough. 3. LISTS AND TASKS Plan light teamwork: assign Tasks, set due dates, and attach Points or a Reward so the whole family can see who owns what. 4. POMODORO AND TIMERS Give a member a Pomodoro or a simple timer. Finish a focus block to earn a Reward, or grant Points for every few minutes they stay on task. 5. BEHAVIOR: SHOULD DO AND DON'T Score Behavior the moment it happens. Clear Should Do and Don't rules keep bonuses and penalties consistent for every child. 6. REWARDS KIDS CAN REDEEM Build a Reward catalog with different Point costs, control who can see each item, add comments, and cap how many times someone can redeem per day. 7. FAMILY MEMBERS Invite parents with a code, keep a profile for each child, and let more than one adult manage the same house. 8. TEMPLATES Start from 300+ ready Habits, Tasks, Rewards, and Behavior rules so you are not building the first week from a blank screen. 9. MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT Parents and kids can each use their own device. A PIN keeps accounts separate so one person's check-in does not overwrite another. 10. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See today's progress, Challenge status, and family activity on the Home Screen—no need to open the app first. 11.
