We present to you the new family app, SkillFun, which turns everyday parenting into an exciting adventure! Convenient Task Planner for Children Our family app is designed to help parents organize their children's activities by offering an intuitive task planner and motivational tools that support learning, growth, and success. We Combine Game Elements with Real Life It all starts with setting a goal for your child. Then, you plan your child's daily routine and rewards for completed tasks—this is external motivation. Internal motivation comes from unique game elements that encourage children to learn and complete helpful tasks in real life, unlocking collectible items to create their unique courtyard. Shared Family Goals We believe that families should spend more time together. Our app allows you to set shared family goals and plan your leisure activities. Balance Wheel and Trainer System Our app features six trainer characters, each representing a different aspect of life. We’ve developed a system called the “Balance Wheel,” which teaches children to develop in a balanced way. It encourages completing tasks across various areas of life, ensuring well-rounded growth and the importance of rest. Motivation in Every Feature Completing real-world tasks becomes even more exciting. SkillFun offers a unique motivation system for kids: for completed tasks, children earn in-game experience, levels, and treasure chests with resources to build their unique courtyard from over 300 items. Children’s Savings and Financial Literacy SkillFun also helps develop children's financial literacy. Through gameplay, children learn the basics of financial management, planning, and responsibility, laying a solid foundation for their future lives. Creativity and Style Our game graphics and objects encourage children’s creativity. We’ve created unique content that is fun to explore and even try to recreate, such as by drawing. Unlock the entire collection of houses, leave comments on which one you liked the most, or suggest your ideas, and we’ll bring them to life! SkillFun is not just an app; it’s a virtual assistant for your family, making learning and parenting interconnected and fun. Join the community of happy families who have already found harmony and joy in parenting with SkillFun! SkillFun – It’s a lifestyle! Grow and have fun!

The HeroTask app helps children get into the habit of completing tasks through stars and prizes. The child sees their progress, and the parent gets a clear picture of the day. For the child: - Task list with points and reminders: "Brush your teeth," "Pack your backpack," "Tidy your room." - Photo proof of completion. - Reward shop: prizes, goals, and spending stars on what the child wants. - Achievements: medals, streaks, milestones, and levels. For the parent: - Adding and customizing tasks with deadlines and repeats. - Approving or rejecting completions. - Family feed: completed tasks, achievements, purchases. - Statistics: charts, task completion, streaks, and brief insights. - Bonuses and penalties for fine-tuning motivation. Children complete tasks, earn stars, unlock prizes, and collect medals. Parents see progress and can respond flexibly without raising their voice.
