A motivation system that helps kids build real habits — reading, learning, growing — one star at a time.

What is Sparkle?
Parents set meaningful tasks — reading, studying, learning something new. Kids earn stars, build streaks, and unlock achievements. At first they do it for the rewards. Over time, it becomes habit. The star system fades into the background, and what's left is a child who reads on their own, studies without being asked, and grows into their potential. No accounts, no subscriptions, just your family and your device.
Features
Reading, homework, practice sessions, learning new skills — parents define the tasks that matter. Kids tap to start, earn stars on completion, and build momentum. A built-in Pomodoro timer helps with focused work. Harder tasks earn more stars — because effort deserves recognition.
Parents define rewards with star prices — from extra screen time to a family pizza night. Kids save up and redeem when they're ready. Shared rewards let siblings pool their stars and work together toward a common goal.
Six levels from Beginner to Diamond. 26 badges to unlock — from "First Step" to "Cosmic Champion". Daily streaks, weekly goals, and personal bests keep kids motivated long after the novelty wears off.
Kids unlock and equip animated avatar frames, gradient titles, and vivid backgrounds as they level up. Rare cosmetics glow and shimmer — the ultimate bragging rights between siblings.
Approve tasks, manage rewards, view weekly stats and activity history, and adjust stars — all behind a PIN-protected parent area. Full control, zero hassle.
Streaks, weekly leaderboards, best days, badges earned — Insights shows exactly what's driving each kid's momentum. Spot what's working, celebrate the wins, and adjust the goals that aren't.
How it works
Parents define tasks that build real skills — reading goals, study sessions, new challenges. Each task earns stars that motivate.
Kids complete tasks, build streaks, and watch their stars grow. Parents approve from the dashboard with a tap.
Stars unlock badges, titles, and rewards. From "Treat Yourself" to "Cosmic Champion" — every milestone feels earned.
