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.

The fridge chart your family already loves β€” now on the tablet. You choose the praise. Your child taps the glowing spot. The sticker lands with a pop, a buzz and a little bounce, and the chart fills up together. CHOOSE A CHART THAT FITS YOUR CHILD β€’ Purple grapes that gather from the top down β€’ A leafy apple tree heavy with red apples β€’ A golden constellation across the night sky PRAISE THAT STAYS Every sticker remembers the day and the reason β€” "shared her toys", "brushed alone", "ate everything". Tap one to read it again. Pressed it by mistake? Fix the note or take the sticker back. A WHEEL THAT NEVER SAYS NO When the chart is full, nothing pops up to hurry anyone. A golden button simply waits until the whole family is ready. Then spin β€” and spin again as many times as you like. There is no limit and no tally. Rewrite the prizes on the spot if the moment calls for it. A GIFT BOX THAT KEEPS THE PROMISE The prize you settle on becomes a coupon: what it is, the chart that earned it, and how many stickers it took. It waits in the Gift Box so your child can bring it to you later β€” "remember my zoo coupon?" On the day you keep the promise, a big red USED stamp lands on it. A FINISHED CHART IS WORTH LOOKING AT Nothing disappears on its own. A full chart stays where it is, gold-rimmed, for as long as you like. It moves to the Hall of Fame as soon as the prize is claimed. A FULL CHART BECOMES A TOY Charts in the Hall of Fame turn into a push-pop. Press a bead and it sinks in with a click; press again and the sticker pops back with the same little bounce it landed with. Ten fingers at once, as long as they like. It changes nothing β€” the record stays exactly as it was. Your charts, stickers and notes stay on this device. No account, no sign-up.
