Braid puts each child's chores on the kitchen wall display, next to the family calendar. Kids tap to check off, earn stars, and save up for rewards you choose.

## How chores work in Braid.

1. **Create a chore card.** Give it a title and an icon, like "Make bed". Choose which kids it's for.
2. **Pick when it's due.** Once on a date, every day, or on chosen weekdays. Add a due time if it matters, like "by 7:30am".
3. **Kids check it off.** A big tap target on the wall display. Daily cards come back the next day.
4. **Stars add up to rewards.** Each card is worth stars (1 by default). Set rewards like "Movie night: 20 stars" for one child or anyone.

## Parents stay in charge.

- **See what got done.** This week's check-offs, by child, on your phone.
- **Undo a check-off.** Tapped by mistake, or by a sibling? Undo it and the stars go back.
- **You redeem rewards.** Kids can't cash in from the tablet. A parent marks the reward redeemed and the stars are spent.
- **Fair to past effort.** Change what a card is worth later and stars already earned stay the same.

## Questions

### Do kids need their own device for the chore chart?

### Can a chore repeat on school days only?

Yes. Choose the weekdays a chore repeats on.

### Can one reward be for any child?

Yes. Set a reward for one child or for anyone.
