Audience​

  • parents and guardians managing household responsibilities
  • kids participating in age-appropriate chores and routines
  • mixed-age households where the parent-kid coordination loop is the main need

Tone​

HausFlow Family should feel:

  • calm
  • warm
  • clear
  • practical
  • supportive

It should never feel punitive, surveillance-heavy, or like a pressure machine.

What Matters Most​

  • making responsibilities visible so no one is guessing
  • creating repeatable routines that run with less mental load
  • helping kids follow through with clarity, not guilt
  • making the review process feel complete and deliberate
  • supporting recovery after a hard week without blame

What's Live in This Edition​

HausFlow Family is the only fully shipped edition. Everything in this app is built from the Family perspective.

The live features include:

  • Parent and kid shells — completely separate experiences in one app; role-based routing on sign-in
  • Chore assignment — parents create chores via the + button, assign to a specific kid, add a note, set point value and category
  • Photo proof — per-chore proof setting (none / optional / required); kid uploads at completion; parent sees the photo in the review screen
  • Trust & Review — per-chore approval mode (manual or auto); auto-approval sends points immediately without a review step
  • Approval flow — parent sets point value with a stepper, approves or sends back with a return note
  • Kid questions — kids can ask a question before starting; it appears in the parent's review screen
  • Recall — kids can pull back a submission before the parent reviews it
  • Chore Library — curated books of template chores, browsable by category; assign in one tap from the action sheet
  • Daily Routines — Morning, Afternoon, and Evening time blocks; kids check off items; 30-minute warning notification before a block closes
  • Award Store — parents build a reward catalog (12 standard quick-add awards + custom); kids claim awards with their banked points; parents approve or deny inline; approved claims deduct from the kid's stash
  • Wish List — kids submit wishes with name, price, and note; parents review and optionally set a points goal the kid works toward; status tracked from Pending to Got it 🎉
  • Invite system — HF-XXXX codes and scannable QR codes; two invite types (child and parent/sitter)
  • Family screen — household roster, invite management, weekly summary card, calendar history
  • Parent role identity — parents pick a title (Mom, Dad, Step Mom, Step Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Guardian) that appears in kid notifications instead of a first name
  • Avatar color identity — each person's emoji avatar maps to a fixed color used across cards, calendar dots, and headers
  • Parent Mode PIN — 4-digit PIN to prevent kids from switching to the parent shell
  • Push notifications — instant notification on chore assignment; 30-minute routine block reminders; quiet hours respected
  • Real-time sync — all updates appear live across devices via Convex subscriptions
  • Privacy controls — export data, clear data, or delete account

Pro-Only Features​

  • Family Board™ — parents post floating chores; any family member can claim one voluntarily
  • Handled It™ — kids log things they did without being asked; parents review and award points
  • Scheduling — one-time due dates and recurring day-of-week chores
  • Calendar Planning — monthly calendar with per-kid color dots and daily task history

Operating Lens​

HausFlow Family translates the app's coordination foundation into home language:

  • routines are repeatable time blocks, not strict schedules
  • proof is a clarity tool, not surveillance
  • recovery after a missed week should be easy, not embarrassing
