- Rewards you define, kids redeemCreate any reward with its price in points, how many are available and when. Kids redeem it from their own phone and see how many points they will have left.
- Progress everyone can seePoints this week and in total for each child, the last 7 days of chores per child and a top performer of the week.
- Schedule and chores in one placeSchool, sports, appointments and chores sit on the same family calendar, so nobody juggles two apps.
- Parents stay in controlDecide whether children can create events, add events with points and check off their own tasks, or approve them yourself.
