Starly is the sticker chart from your fridge — done right. Not a video game pretending to be one. Brushing teeth, potty training, homework, chores, bedtime: Starly turns the everyday stuff into stars worth earning, in a calm, focused space that makes the daily chaos feel under control. Free to start: one child, unlimited charts, no time limit, no catch. Want more kids, or extra packs and themes? Simple one-time purchases. Never a subscription — the way apps should be. WHAT MAKES STARLY DIFFERENT • Stickers from your own photos. Snap or pick any photo and Starly removes the background automatically — your child's face, the family dog, a favorite toy, their latest drawing. Nothing lights a kid up faster than seeing what they love on the chart. • 150+ stickers — dinosaurs, monsters, space, sea life, pirates, fantasy, sweets, vehicles, and holidays. And the library keeps growing. • No task lists to build. Give a star, add a reason, done — no chore list to configure before you even start. It remembers your recent reasons, and you can press and hold any empty star to award one in a single gesture. • Everything is tunable. Choose how many stars complete a chart, design your own themes — nebula colors, progress bars, emoji, and now the whole background — and invent any reward, from "Movie night" to "that one special toy." • A profile for every kid. Total stars, best day ever, favorite sticker, latest reward. • Reward the whole family at once. The multi-kid dashboard stars every child in one tap, or swipe a card to award one kid a star. • Share the win. Finished a chart, proud of the progress, or celebrating a single star? It becomes a beautiful card with your child's name, ready for grandparents, the family group chat, or anywhere you'd like. • Print your chart, any state. Blank to fill in by hand, mid-progress for the fridge, or finished as a keepsake certificate. • Keep the proud moments. Attach a photo to any star, and let gentle daily reminders help the routine stick. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your family's data lives in your own iCloud — not on our servers. We don't have any. • No accounts, no passwords — nothing to set up, nothing to forget. • Works fully offline: add stars anywhere, and everything syncs the moment you're back online. • iPhone and iPad; parents, grandparents, and caregivers share one family. Kids can view their chart on their own device (read-only). Starly is made to look at together — no kid accounts required, no approval queues, no complex point systems to manage. Just stars you give side by side. And if your kid has their own Apple ID, they can follow their chart, view-only, on their own iPhone or iPad. MADE FOR EVERY KIND OF KID Gentle enough for toddlers, structured enough for tweens — and a natural fit for kids with ADHD, autism, or sensory needs. Trusted by parents and professionals for chore charts, token boards, ABA therapy, behavior tracking, speech and occupational therapy, morning and bedtime routines, and daily habits. Celebrate streaks and milestones that turn small wins into lasting habits. Simple enough for busy parents, delightful enough that kids beg to "check my stars!" — and calm enough that you'll actually want to open it.
