About Chimi: Kids Routines & Chores
Chimi turns a spare tablet, or your phone, into a warm, friendly companion that guides your child through their day. Big, tappable steps. Cheerful characters. Gold stars for a job well done. No ads, no chat, no rabbit holes. A calmer morning (and bedtime). Instead of nagging, kids see exactly what's next: get dressed, brush teeth, pack the bag, one clear step at a time. Each finished step earns a star and a little celebration, so momentum builds on its own. Made for how kids actually think. Every task is a picture, not a wall of text, so pre-readers can follow along. Visual timers make "two more minutes" real. A gentle bedtime clock dims the screen and shows when it's time to sleep, and when it's okay to get up. Chores that feel like a game. Set up simple jobs with star values. Kids check them off, watch their star balance grow, and trade stars for the rewards you choose: extra story time, a trip to the park, screen time, whatever fits your family. One device, every kid. Each child gets their own profile, character, and stars. Tap a face to switch, like picking a profile on your favourite streaming app. You're always in charge. A PIN-protected grown-up area lets you build routines and chores, set rewards, adjust bedtimes, and hand out or take back stars. Lock the tablet to Chimi with your device's built-in screen pinning or Guided Access for a true kid-proof appliance. Free to use. Upgrade if you want more. Chimi is free for one child on one device, and works fully offline, no account required. A one-time Chimi Plus unlock adds multiple children, cloud sync across the device and your phone, and extra characters. No subscriptions. Great for: • Morning and bedtime routines • Building independence and good habits • Chore charts and allowance-style rewards • Visual schedules for younger kids and neurodiverse learners • Turning an old iPad into a family routine screen Chimi is designed to be gentle, ad-free, and screen-time-friendly, a helpful little sidekick, not another thing to fight over.
