"Put your phone down!" "Just 5 more minutes!" That fight, every day. KidsToDo turns the daily push-and-pull into a points-based reward system that both parents and kids actually enjoy. Set tasks. Kid earns points. Trade points for screen time, treats, or whatever you negotiate together. ▼ How it works 1. Parents set tasks — homework, chores, reading, anything. 2. Kids complete them and earn points. 3. Together, you decide what those points are worth — 10 minutes of TV = 10 points, 30 minutes of gaming = 30 points, a late bedtime = 50 points. "Put your phone away" becomes "You've got 40 points — that's 20 minutes of screen time." Clear rules. Less arguing. Kids learn that effort buys freedom. ▼ Features • Task & point system — photo-proof submissions, parent approval flow • Reward exchange — game time, phone time, TV, treats, anything you decide • Learning made fun — math, reading, science, social studies, all ages • Kid-friendly diary — gentle pet guides them through prompts • Virtual pet that evolves with effort (9 evolution paths) • Streak tracking for habit-building • Family roles — 2 parents free, up to 4 with Pro • AI weekly progress reports (Pro) • PDF data export for school records (Pro) • Higher daily learning limits (Pro) ▼ Pricing Free plan 1 child + 2 parents · all learning content · tasks, points, diary, pet · 2 pet evolution paths · 40 questions per subject per day Pro plan — $6.99/month or $54.99/year (save 27%) First month free 4 children + 4 parents · all 9 pet evolution paths · AI weekly report · PDF data export · 100 questions per subject per day · Japanese middle-school exam prep mode ▼ Built for families who… • Argue about screen time every day • Want to teach kids self-management instead of just enforcing rules • Need a positive way to make chores happen • Care about learning but hate forcing it • Have multiple kids and want one app for everyone ▼ Parent feedback (from beta) "My 8-year-old used to scream when I said no more iPad. Now he checks his points and budgets his own time. Total game changer." "We use it for chores, music practice, homework. Less nagging, more independence." "The pet is what hooked my kids. They WANT to log in to feed it." ▼ Subscription terms KidsToDo Pro is an auto-renewing subscription at $6.99/month or $54.99/year. New subscribers start with a 1-month free trial.
