Timers & rewards

Goal

Prerequisites

Parent configured timers/stars.

Step by step

  1. Open task with timer icon on /child.
  2. Tap Start timer — countdown visible.
  3. On finish: alarm sound and vibration (Android app), even when app is closed.
  4. Tap Stop alarm on notification or in app to complete the task.
  5. Stars credited on completion (parent rules).
  6. Open Rewards to see balance and redeem.

Short timers (2–5 min) work better for young children.
