Go to the Routines tab and tap the + button. You can:

Enter a routine name (e.g., "Morning Routine")
Set a scheduled time
Add steps with icons and durations
Save and assign to children

How do I add a child profile?

Go to the Settings tab, tap Add Child, enter the child's name, choose an avatar emoji, and assign routines to them.

How do children use the app?

Children can use the Kids tab to:

Select their profile
Choose a routine to start

Troubleshooting

My routines aren't showing up

Make sure you've created routines in the Routines tab
Check that routines are assigned to the child profile
Try closing and reopening the app

Progress isn't being tracked

Ensure routines are completed fully (all steps done or skipped)
Check that you're viewing the correct child's progress
Try completing a new routine to refresh the data

Notifications aren't working

Check notification permissions in iPhone Settings → Child Habits
Ensure notifications are enabled in the app's Settings tab
Make sure routines have scheduled times set
Check that Do Not Disturb mode is not active

I can't edit a child's profile

Go to Settings → Select the child → Tap Edit
You can change the name and avatar
Make sure you're in the Settings tab, not Kids tab

Data isn't syncing across devices

Child Habits stores all data locally on your device for privacy. If you want to sync data across devices, you can use iCloud sync (if enabled) or manually transfer data.

Privacy & Data

Where is my data stored?

All data (routines, child profiles, progress) is stored locally on your device. We don't have any servers or backend systems—your family's data stays private and secure.

Can I backup my data?

Your data is automatically saved locally. For additional backup, you can use iCloud sync (if enabled) or your device's automatic backup through iCloud or iTunes.

How do I reset all data?

Go to Settings → Scroll to the bottom → Reset All Data. This will permanently delete all routines, children, and progress. This action cannot be undone.

System Requirements

iOS Version: iOS 17.0 or later
