Routines

Mornings.
Bedtime.
Both, easier.

Step-by-step flows the kids can run themselves. One tap per step. Big visual progress bar. Made for the loud hours.

Why this exists

A chore is one thing. A routine is the whole sequence.

"Brush teeth" is a chore. "Wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack the bag, shoes on, out the door" is a routine. Trying to track that as seven separate chores breaks the experience and makes the kid feel pestered.

Routines bundle the sequence into one flow with a single big progress bar. Kids see step 3 of 7. They tap done. Step 4 appears. Repeat until the bar fills and they earn the routine's full point payout.

Stack the steps in the order they happen

Add a routine, then drop in steps. Each step can have its own points, photo proof setting, and time cap. The whole routine carries a single completion reward on top.

  • Reorder by drag
  • Per-step or whole-routine point payouts
  • Optional time cap (e.g. 'all 7 steps in 25 min')

One step at a time, no fumbling

When a kid starts a routine, the screen shows only the current step. Big tap target, no other UI to get lost in. The next step appears the moment they tap done.

  • Optimized for tablet + kid attention
  • Big progress bar across the top
  • Voice prompts for pre-readers (optional)

Straight answers

But what about…

What if a kid skips a step?

They can't move forward without tapping done. If a step is genuinely impossible today (sick, snow day), parent can override from their phone.

Can two kids share a routine?

Each kid has their own copy of the same routine. They can run it independently on different devices.

I want a routine to start automatically at 7am.

Scheduled routines drop into the kid's task list at the time you set. They still tap to start; we don't auto-launch on their screen.

How long are routines?

We've seen 3-step bedtimes through 12-step morning marathons. No hard cap. 5-8 steps tends to be the sweet spot.
