Endless nagging
“Brush your teeth! Do your homework!”
The same words, over and over
Brushing, homework, tidying, reading and exercise become fun missions.
Your child starts the mission, you approve it,
and praise points add up.
A parent-run habit app that turns your child's daily routine into missions and points.
Add brushing, homework, tidying, reading and exercise as missions. Your child starts each mission in Kid Mode, and when you approve it, points add up. Kids can use their points for rewards your family chooses together.
