FamiPoi:Kids’ Help with Points

FamiPoi: An app that supports children's chores and independence (helping them do more on their own) with pocket money points.

When children complete chores or accomplish daily tasks, they can be rewarded with points. You can manage these points and even exchange them for rewards.

Additionally, FamiPoi is not just for children's chores—it’s also useful for managing points within the family. For example, if Dad takes out the trash or Mom washes the dishes, they can earn points too.

FamiPoi Features:
Add, edit, or delete daily tasks.
Award points for each completed task (points reset daily).
Display today’s earned points, completion rate, and current total points.
Add, edit, or delete the list of reward items for point redemption.
Edit points directly (add or remove points manually).
Add or edit family members (names, icons, etc.).
View the history of earned points (view progress on a calendar).
How to Use FamiPoi:
Set up family members’ names and icons in the "Edit Members" section.
Edit the "Daily Tasks List" to customize tasks.
Edit the "Reward Items List" for point redemption.
Tap completed chores in the "Daily Tasks List" (points will be awarded).
Once enough points are accumulated, exchange them for items from the reward list (Note: the app doesn't provide physical items directly; the person managing the app needs to provide the rewards).
Review the history of points earned.
As the child becomes more successful with daily tasks, add new chores or tasks that they'd like to work on.
Why FamiPoi Was Created:
In our family, we used to reward children with candy or pocket money when they helped with household chores or accomplished something new, or when they completed their daily tasks. However, I noticed some challenges. If we gave them physical rewards or money, it could create the feeling that they were earning money for their chores, and they might only help out for the reward.

About two years ago, we switched to a point system and started using a notebook to track tasks and points. We’d give the child 5 points per paper, which they could then place into a container. This method worked well for teaching children math, but there were some issues. It was time-consuming to manage the paper points, and it became difficult to update the lists of tasks and rewards every time something new was added.

Recently, since my child has become good enough at math to not need paper points anymore, I wanted to switch to an app to make managing points easier and more efficient.
