Most family apps help kids complete chores. Our Family Habits helps families build character. Track habits, routines, chores, rewards, and goals in one shared family dashboard. Designed to reduce the mental load on parents, create clear expectations, and help children grow in responsibility, consistency, and ownership. Perfect for homeschool, blended, or traditional families seeking stronger family rhythms and more peace at home. Cultivate habits, grow responsibility, establish rhythms.
👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm Jon, dad of five, and yes, we launched this on Father's Day on purpose.
The problem: Every reward system in our house had the same life cycle. We implement a new system. Kids are thrilled for a week. The chart or system gets forgotten as soon as Mom or Dad is stressed. Motivation dies. Repeat. With five kids, "just be more consistent" wasn't advice—it was a second job. My wife was the single point of failure for every routine in the house.
The weekend: One Saturday morning, I sat down with an idea and started building. Twenty-four hours later, I had a rough, working prototype and five very opinionated beta testers. Within the first week, habits we'd failed to establish for months started sticking. My 10-year-old hit a bathroom-related milestone I won't elaborate on. My 5-year-old organized her room without being asked. My 3-year-old was genuinely excited to earn points for using the potty.
The philosophy: We homeschool with Charlotte Mason's approach, and her core insight shaped everything: the goal of habit formation isn't compliance — it's character. Kids who want to do good, not kids who do what they're told. The points aren't bribes; they're a bridge. Kids earn by contributing real value, choose their own rewards, and somewhere in the repetition, the chart fades into the background, and the rhythms stay. (We talk about the full story on our About page.)
What makes it different from chore apps:
🌱 Family kiosk mode: a tablet on the counter everyone sees. No nagging required.
🌱 You define what counts: reading, kindness, music practice, scripture memory, helping siblings, and set the point values for each.
🌱 Real reward economics: kids earn, kids choose, parents approve. Contribution → value → reward, the way the world actually works.
🌱 Weekly insights: because character growth is invisible day-to-day and obvious month-to-month.
It's free to start (no card), on iOS, Android, and web. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
I'd genuinely love your feedback—especially from fellow parents: what habit have you tried and failed to make stick? That question is basically our roadmap.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads here! 💯
We use this daily in our home. Actually my kids ask for points regularly but prefer to save them up to watch the numbers roll in. Don’t worry I have some great rewards created though ha! I stopped by to ask how many points will it allow a child to earn at max before it stops counting? This will be invaluable to know for my “investors” around here 😉
This app has helped me manage my point system with my son so much. It’s really given a usable tool that both me and my son can use. I don’t think there’s anything else that comes close to it on the market, thanks so much for creating this. It’s made life so much easier
@arielle_adams thanks for the kind words and support, Arielle! I'm so glad it's helping you and your son!
I love how this app approaches modern parenting. Using a fair and straight forward points system, it helps teach young family members to be considerate and learn the direct impact of their decisions and actions. It has positively shifted our home dynamic from constant reminders to self-driven accountability, making everyone feel like an integral part of the family.
@nc_bert2732 Bert, thanks for the support! I love hearing about the positive shift in your home. 🙌
This app is very intentional in every aspect. I appreciate how you can customize the point system for every child and their needs. It aligns our whole family on our goals.
@janae_p thank you Janae! If there's anything else that would make the app better, let us know
Well,Jon is my son! I have the app, but all of our 4 kids are grown. Jon, the app is ingenious and should serve families well!
