Earn streaks. Snowflakes save them on busy days. A household score every member rallies around. PULSE CHECK-INS A 5-second daily check-in for every family member. See how everyone's actually doing. Closer connections, less guessing. EXTENDED FAMILY TREES Link your household to your siblings, parents, or in-laws. Each household stays private — only Tidy Points and shared events cross between you. A family-wide leaderboard. ROUTINES & RHYTHMS Build morning, after-school, and bedtime routines. Kids see step-by-step what's next. Parents stay out of nag mode. SHARED GROCERY LIST A real-time list anyone can add to. The whole family sees the same items, checks them off as they're bought. TABLET KIOSK MODE Turn an iPad on your kitchen counter into a family command center. Big buttons, soft animations, child-friendly avatar picker, PIN-protected exit, five beautiful themes. The household taps in to mark chores done, log moments, check today's plan.
