📖 How-To Guides

Step-by-step walkthroughs to get the most out of ChoreStar.

👧

Adding Your First Child

5 steps

Ready to get your family set up? Adding a child to ChoreStar takes less than two minutes, and the fun part is picking their avatar.

From your dashboard, tap Add Child.

Enter your child's name and age.

Hit Randomize to generate a random robot avatar — keep hitting it until something clicks!

Tap Add Child to save.

Find your child's card and tap Edit to choose a background color or a specific robot style.

💡

Every child gets their own avatar, their own PIN, and their own little corner of the app.

☀️

Creating a Morning Routine

5 steps

If mornings in your house feel like herding cats, ChoreStar's routines are about to become your new best friend.

From your dashboard, tap the Routines tab, then Add Routine.

Select the Morning Routine template.

Review the pre-loaded steps: Wake up, Brush teeth, Get dressed, Make bed, Eat breakfast, Pack backpack.

Add, remove, or rename steps to match your family's actual morning.

Tap Create Routine — it's now ready to assign to your kids.

💡

Bedtime works exactly the same way — just choose the Bedtime Routine template instead.

🔑

Kid Login Setup

5 steps

ChoreStar's Kid Zone lets kids access their routines independently — no email or password needed.

Tap the Settings gear icon, then go to the Family tab.

Copy your Kid Login Link — this is the unique URL for your family.

Open the editor and set a 4-digit PIN for each child.

Share the link with your kid: bookmark it on the family tablet, text it to their phone, or make it a home screen shortcut.

When they visit the link and enter their PIN, they land directly in their ChoreStar.

💡

Kids see only their own routines — no confusing menus, no sibling mix-ups.

Running a Routine (Kid's Perspective)

5 steps

Curious what the experience looks like on your child's end? Here's the full flow from their perspective.

Kid visits the Kid Login Link and enters their 4-digit PIN.

They see their routine cards with a big, friendly Start button.

Tapping Start begins the routine — one step shown at a time.

Each step shows clearly on screen; when done, they tap to move to the next.

After the last step — confetti! A celebration screen rewards the effort.

💡

That little burst of positive reinforcement goes a long way toward building habits that actually stick.

⚙️

Family Settings & the Share Link

5 steps

The Family Settings section is your command center for keeping everything organized.

Tap the Settings gear icon from anywhere in the app.

Select the Family tab to find your Kid Login Link.

Tap Copy to grab the link anytime you need to re-share it.

Tap Open Editor to manage children's profiles and set or update their PINs.

Update a PIN anytime if your child forgets it.

💡

Every child gets their own unique PIN — this is how ChoreStar tells kids apart at login.
