Routine Success

Routine Success turns everyday routines into something a child can follow on their own — and something the adult supporting them can actually see. A mentor (a parent, guardian, teacher, or coach) sets up tasks and routines. The mentee works through them, and the mentor reviews what comes back. Stars add up toward rewards the mentor chooses. BUILT AROUND A REAL ROUTINE • Group tasks into a routine that runs in order — a morning routine, homework, bedtime • Give each task a time goal and an optional photo requirement • A built-in timer tracks time spent, including pauses • Today's schedule sits on the home screen; nothing else competes for attention MENTOR REVIEW, NOT JUST A CHECKBOX • Submitted work goes to the mentor to review • Award stars, leave feedback, or send a task back for a redo • A redo is a fresh attempt linked to the first one, so progress stays honest • Choose when review reminders arrive — morning, midday, or evening REWARDS WORTH WORKING FOR • Milestones collect stars toward one big goal • Challenges are shorter: finish a task a set number of times, or hold a streak • The mentor picks the reward and the picture that goes with it WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL • Start and finish today's tasks, run timers, and attach photos offline • Everything syncs when the connection comes back • Nothing is lost if the app closes mid-task FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN • A mentor can create a managed account for a child — a username and password, no email address needed • Accounts for children go through verified guardian consent before they become active • A guardian can withdraw consent at any time, which removes the child's data PRIVACY • No ads and no third-party trackers — there is no advertising or analytics SDK in this app • We do not sell personal information • Delete your account from Settings, or at routine.fluxudio.com/delete-account • Photos you attach to a task are visible only to you and your mentor Terms of Use: https://routine.fluxudio.com/terms
