KidPoint is the chore chart and reward chart your family will actually stick to — a habit tracker, task reminder and point system in one app, with an AI parenting helper built in. Turn chores, homework, reading, exercise, bedtime routines and manners into points your child can see. No more sticker charts lost on the fridge, no more repeating yourself every morning. [Why parents use it] • A chore chart that lives on your phone: set daily or weekly tasks, check them off, and let the points do the reminding • A reward chart you control: define the rewards, price them in points, and every redemption is logged automatically • An allowance and behavior tracker without spreadsheets: add the habits you want to see more of — and the ones you want less of — with daily limits so the rules stay fair • Milestones for the bigger goals: weekly or monthly targets with a reward at the end keep motivation going after the novelty wears off • One app for the whole family: a separate profile per child, with their own avatar, points and rules • Stuck on a parenting question? Ask the AI — homework delays, bedtime battles, tantrums — it answers with your family's real rules in mind [Main features] 1. Chore chart & recurring tasks Create daily, weekly or monthly tasks with target counts, completion bonuses and optional deductions for missed days. Local reminders nudge at the right time, so routines actually stick. 2. Behavior points, up or down Built-in templates for homework, reading, tidying up, chores and bedtime. Add your own behaviors freely, and set a daily cap per behavior so nobody can farm points. 3. Rewards & milestones You define what can be redeemed and for how many points, and add a photo to any reward — crop it and swap it anytime so kids see exactly what they're earning. Redemptions are deducted and logged automatically. Set weekly or monthly milestones and hand out a bigger reward when the goal is reached. 4. Habit tracker & charts Automatic trend charts show where points came from and where they went. Review the last 30 days of activity — even deleted records stay traceable. 5. Multiple child profiles Each child gets an avatar, a starting balance and their own rules. Siblings never get mixed up, and every child feels treated fairly. One-tap import: copy another child's rewards (with images, points and redemption limits) and milestones to a new child in one go. 6. AI Parenting Q&A Ask anything — "my kid puts off homework", "mornings are a battle", "tantrums over screen time". Tap "advise with my family's habits" and the AI reads that child's habits, tasks and rewards plus the last 3 days of records, then suggests concrete changes. Each suggestion is a card: tap "Apply" and the matching screen opens pre-filled — nothing changes until you confirm. History is kept per child. Free: 5 questions a week. Pro: 30. 7. Backup & restore (Pro) Automatic iCloud backup keeps months of records safe when you switch phones or make a mistake. [Free] The free version manages 1 child and includes the chore chart, behavior points, rewards, milestones, records and charts. AI Parenting Q&A: 5 questions a week. [Pro] Pro unlocks multiple child profiles plus iCloud backup, restore and automatic backup, and raises AI Parenting Q&A to 30 questions a week. If the subscription expires, existing child data is kept; the free version can continue managing 1 selected child, and Pro restores access to the others. [Subscription] Pro is an auto-renewable subscription purchased separately from the free download. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Purchases can be restored in the app. [Data & privacy] Points and records are stored on this device. Export/import and iCloud backup only run when you use them.

About

DotDot Tasks

Tasks earn stars. Stars earn rewards you agreed on. Plus: Travel Memories, Growth Tracking, Voice Diary. No accounts. No ads or cross-app tracking. Syncs via iCloud. DotDot Tasks turns your family's daily routine into a star-earning adventure. Parents assign the tasks, kids check them off, and every approved task earns stars to spend in the family reward shop. Beyond tasks, it keeps the little things of childhood: the places you've been, how they've grown, and what they had to say. TRAVEL MEMORIES: THE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN, AND HOW OLD THEY WERE - Start a trip and pick a few photos; the app finds where they were taken and sorts them into places - Every place becomes a photo sticker on a soft world map, or browse your trips on a timeline - Each place gets a memory stamp with the place name, the date, and how old each child was - Add a one-line memory and note your child's firsts: first whale shark, first flight - Photos without location data (screenshots, forwarded pictures) can be placed by hand - Family sharing: the other parent joins with your family code, and trips, places and photos sync via iCloud. Photos move over Wi-Fi only by default - No photo library or location permission needed. Shared travel data lives in the share owner's iCloud; anyone signed in to iCloud with the link can join and read/write it GROWTH TRACKING: WATCH THEM GROW UP - Log height and weight; BMI is worked out for you - See your child on the WHO growth curves and percentiles for their age - Changes since last month and over the past six months, laid out clearly - Each child has a chart of their own VOICE DIARY: YOUR KID'S OWN VOICE, KEPT - Tap once and start talking; speech becomes text as they speak, no typing needed - Add photos and pick today's mood to finish the entry - The original recording is kept, so years from now you can still hear how they sounded - Parents can export the whole diary as a backup: audio, photos, and an offline album web page - Speech recognition runs on the device; diaries stay on your device and your own iCloud THE KID SIDE - Tap to finish daily tasks and earn stars - Fireworks celebration when everything is approved - Spend stars in the reward shop you set up together - Level up the growth tree, keep streaks, and earn badges THE PARENT SIDE - Assign tasks by weekday, difficulty and star value - Review and approve with one tap, or return it for another try - Promises: when behavior slips, take a few stars, then let a make-up task earn them right back. Levels and badges never go backwards - Weekly and monthly summaries at a glance - Four interface styles: kids pick Doodle (the default), Candy Stickers or Storybook, and parents can also choose Classic. Everyone sets their own - Sync across devices. The other parent joins with your family code and, once the phone that created the family allows it, changes from both sides sync to the whole family, even with different Apple IDs PRIVACY FIRST - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs - Family snapshots (no PIN, photos or diaries) are in the app's iCloud public database and readable with the family code. The snapshot's travel link lets signed-in iCloud users join and read/write photos and locations. Share codes and links only with people you trust - The parent PIN is stored only as a salted hash and is never shared with the other parent - Photos use the system picker only, so the app needs no photo library access Big touch targets let kids as young as 4 check off tasks on their own. For iPhone and iPad. Built by a parent, for parents.
