StarLoom

StarLoom is a family rewards app you run at home. Parents award stars for chores and good behaviour. Children spend those stars on rewards such as screen time, treats, or staying up late.

One installation is one household. Everyone in the family signs in with their own username and password.

What you can do

  • See every child's balance on a family homepage
  • Track chores on a weekly star chart
  • Build a reward catalog and approve redemptions
  • Give children their own login so they can see only their stars
  • Dress the app in themes such as Space, Egypt, Aztecs, or Ancient Greece
