Twiggly is a chore and habit application designed to create a calmer home environment. By incorporating psychology-backed elements such as points, streaks, photo proof, and a parent approval system, the app turns daily household tasks into lasting habits for the entire family. What makes Twiggly different from a generic chore chart: • Built around child psychology, not just task management. The point system is designed to teach delayed gratification — one of the most research-backed predictors of positive long-term outcomes. • Short parenting tips explain the child-development reason behind each type of task, so parents stay consistent. • No ads, no behavioural tracking, and no advertising identifiers. Photos are auto-deleted 30 days after a task is approved, and each family's data is isolated. • Children sign in with a family code plus a PIN on a parent's device — no email is collected for kids. • Playful worlds and a growing garden keep kids engaged over time. Designed for families with children roughly 6–14. Android; iOS on the roadmap. Built by a Finnish father.

Twiggly 1.2.0 now live on Google Play!
New: Family Adventure. Instead of handing out separate tasks, you set one shared goal the whole family works toward: a day at the amusement park, a movie night, something nice together. It's broken into tasks anyone can pick up. Everyone can chip in, see the progression, and celebrate at the finish. A shared goal turns siblings into teammates instead of rivals. There is no race to out-earn each other, just one finish line they reach together! The time spent pulling together is the real reward. And adventures can play out over days or weeks, so it's also real patience practice: the kind that delayed gratification research keeps tying to good long-term outcomes. Also in this release: tapping a home 'create-task nudge' pre-selects that child on the new-task screen, cleaner admin home with a smoother review flow, and reliability fixes throughout.

Twiggly 1.1.0 now live on Google Play!
New: Choice tasks. Instead of assigning one task, you can now offer your child a choice of two: they pick the one they'd rather do, and the other quietly disappears. Autonomy is one of the strongest drivers of intrinsic motivation. A child who gets to choose their task owns it: same chore, different ownership. And it's a nice boost for an otherwise reluctant child, since the protest is often about feeling ordered around, not the task itself. Also smaller improvements in this release: clearer reward displays on task cards and better contrast in few places while using dark themes.

Twiggly takes a thoughtful approach to family chores by combining habit building with child psychology rather than just checklists. Features like points, streaks, photo verification, strong privacy practices, and no ads make it stand out as a family-friendly app. Built with both parents and kids in mind, it's a promising tool for creating lasting habits. Congrats on the launch!

You cite delayed gratification, so you'll know the overjustification literature - extrinsic rewards can crowd out intrinsic motivation once they stop. Is there a path for fading the points out, or is the streak the product?
@parthdixit Streaks aren't the product. I firmly believe outgrowing the app is. There's no automated fade-out (yet) but parents can lower the points and retire a chore once it's a habit. I have no reason to maximize time-in-app.
Really like the focus on building habits through psychology instead of just assigning chores. The privacy-first approach is a big plus too. Congrats on the launch and best of luck! 🌱👏
@eldhobenny Thank you for the kind words! They mean a lot to me. The psychology-first angle is exactly where I believe Twiggly differs from other chore apps.
Finnish father of two. Twiggly grew out of a child-psychology rabbit hole and a worry about the instant-dopamine culture we live in. Follow-through and patience is trainable. Happy to answer anything!
