Set Up Expected Routines

Morning and evening habits as simple checklists — make bed, brush teeth, homework, and more.

Part 1 — Parent creates routines

Settings Expected Routines

1. Open Settings → expand Expected Routines.

2. Tap + Create New Routine.

3. Enter a name (e.g. Brush Teeth), assign to a child or All Kids, pick frequency (Daily, Weekdays, or Weekly), and optional reward ($). Leave reward at $0 for unpaid expectations.

4. Tap Create Routine (or Save Changes when editing).

Part 2 — Kids check them off

My Routines checkboxes

1. Child opens ActivitiesMy Routines.

2. Tap the checkbox when a routine is done for today.

3. Optional: tap 7-Day View to see the week at a glance. Parents can use the 7-Day Performance Tracker (Premium) to monitor streaks.

If a routine has a reward amount, checking it off can add that amount to the ledger automatically — unlike one-off chores that need parent approval when logged by kids.

Tip: Routines are different from Future Tasks (+ Kid tab on Add Activity). Use routines for repeating habits; use tasks for one-off jobs like washing the car.
