Frequently asked questions

Habitopia is a mobile app for families that turns daily routines and household chores into missions. As a guardian you create weekly missions and define rewards; your children complete them, earn coins and experience (XP), and care for a digital companion that evolves with their effort. It builds autonomy and consistency with fewer arguments about tidying up at home.

Habitopia supports child profiles from age 3. The interface adapts by date of birth: under 7 uses Little ones mode (simple visuals and large buttons); from age 7, Junior mode (lists by time blocks and more autonomy). Coin rewards are also adjusted by age on approval.

You do not need one phone per child. With Shared mode you use a single phone or tablet: choose the child’s profile so they can mark missions, then regain control with the admin PIN that protects the parental dashboard.

Step-by-step in the manual: Shared mode and devices.

When a child marks a mission done, rewards are not granted instantly: the mission waits in your Approvals tab. After you confirm it was done well in real life and approve it, coins and XP are added. If you reject it, it returns to pending.

More detail in the manual: Tasks and approvals.

Coins are earned when missions are approved and spent on Magic Chest cosmetics or real family rewards. XP raises the companion’s level and unlocks visual evolutions; it is never spent and never goes down.

See numbers and bonuses in the Rewards guide.

You can add mom, dad, grandparents, or caregivers with a QR code from Dashboard → Devices. Co-guardians can view and manage missions, approvals, and redemptions in real time from their own phones.

Steps in the manual: Family and children.

They are real-world rewards you define in the Rewards tab (movie night, ice cream, extra screen time, and more): title, description, and coin cost. When the child redeems from the Magic Chest, coins are deducted and the request appears in Redemptions so you can confirm delivery.

See the manual: Rewards and redemptions and the Rewards guide.

The streak counts consecutive days where the child completed all missions on time (based on when they marked them done). A perfect day adds a +10% coin bonus for that day; every 30, 60, 90… perfect days grants 50 extra coins and medals.

Full detail in the Rewards guide.

You can pause task templates (one task or all for a child) so no missions are generated those days, or forgive a single day on the activity calendar. In both cases the day is treated as neutral and does not reset the streak.

Steps in the tasks manual and in settings and family activity.

Habitopia needs an active connection to securely sync progress, coins, companion evolution, approvals, and redemptions across all family devices.
