Anytime Routines and Side Quests
Most routines are Daily: done every day, with a streak, a reminder and a star each day they’re finished. Some things only happen now and then, like calming down after big feelings or getting out the door. For those, there are Anytime routines and Side Quests.
Anytime Routines
An Anytime routine is used only when it’s needed, like Calm Corner, Toilet Training or Out the Door. It has no streak and no reminder, and it never counts as missed on a day it isn’t used. It starts fresh each time, so it can be done as often as needed.
To add one:
- Open your child’s details. A grown-up check appears first.
- Tap Add Routine.
- Tap Anytime, then choose a routine, or start with an Empty one.
To change a routine you already have, tap it in your child’s details, then tap Schedule and choose Daily or Anytime. The change applies from today: the days before keep their history and stars. A child always needs at least one Daily routine.
Start an Anytime Routine
Your child can start one on their own:
- Tap your child’s picture at the bottom of the screen.
- Under Anytime, tap the routine.
The routine has the screen to itself until it’s finished, or until is tapped.
When it’s finished, a grown-up decides whether it earns a star. Tap Give a Star and answer the grown-up check, or tap Not Now.
Side Quests
A Side Quest is one task made up on the spot, like “Put your shoes on”.
- Tap your child’s picture at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Side Quest. A grown-up check appears first.
- Type what needs doing.
- Leave Earns a Star on for a star when it’s done, or tap it to turn it off.
- Tap Start.
Your child holds the task to finish it, like any other. If it earns a star, it’s given straight away, with no second check, and listed in Star History.
The free version includes two routines, and Anytime routines count towards them. Side Quests are free to use.
