Shared To-Do Lists

One place for the work that changes every day.

Create separate lists for groceries, home, work, packing, or whatever else is easy to lose track of. Keep a list personal or share it with a partner or co-parent.

  • Separate lists, less sorting

    Keep each part of life in its own list.

  • Share the household load

    Build grocery lists together or send the next chore.

  • Organize it your way

    Group items into categories and add the next one without leaving the list.

Focus Timer

Make time visible. Keep the ending calm.

Start a flexible focus session when a full routine would be too much. Keep the countdown visible on its own or inside a routine, with optional Spotify focus audio when it helps.

  • Choose the session

    Set the amount of time that fits the task.

  • Stay anchored

    Use the visual countdown and optional focus audio.

  • Finish without fanfare

    Completion stays calm, without penalties or failure states.

Mood check-ins

Record the context, not just the feeling.

A quick 0–10 check-in captures the best and hardest parts of the day and what was happening around them. Families and permitted Care Team members can review patterns over time.

  • A simple 0–10 scale

    No emoji grid or forced label.

  • Capture what shaped the moment

    Add the context around the day’s highs and lows.

  • Notice patterns over time

    Connect mood with routines, focus, and daily context inside Insights.

Choose what appears

Show the tools that help. Leave the rest out.

Parents choose whether Focus, Mood, and To-Do appear for each child. The child sees only the tools selected for them, and those choices can change as their needs change.

The DaySteps feature access settings, with a separate switch for the routines tab, the Focus timer, Mood logging, and the child's own to-do list, each naming the child it applies to

  • To-Do

    Their lists, or none

    Whether the child can open and manage To-Do Lists.

  • Focus

    The timer, when it helps

    Whether the child can open the Focus timer.

  • Mood

    Logging, only if wanted

    Whether the child can log how they are feeling.

Calm by design

No points. No streaks.
Nothing to lose on a hard day.

Daily Tools support the moment without turning it into a reward system. No penalty animation for pausing. No mood-to-behavior score.
