Roost makes bedtime the best part of the day. Build a calming nightly routine for every child in your family — from curious toddlers to independent teens — and watch those good habits stick with fun streak tracking and earned stars. TONIGHT TAB Each evening, open Roost and work through your child's personalised checklist together. Large, satisfying checkmarks celebrate every step: bath time, brushing teeth, bedtime story, and lights out. A progress bar fills as you go, and a big "Finish Night!" button seals the win when everything is done. ROUTINES TAB Choose from three age-appropriate templates or mix and match steps for each child. The Toddler routine covers six cosy steps. The School-Age routine focuses on five essentials. The Teen routine keeps things simple with four mindful habits. Toggle individual steps on or off so the routine fits your family's real evenings — no two nights are exactly the same. STREAK TAB Nothing motivates kids like a growing streak.

A visual 14-night grid makes it easy to spot patterns and celebrate progress together.
