❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need to install or host anything to use Tamed?

No. Tamed is live and accessible directly in your web browser at tamed.pages.dev. Both partners can open the link on mobile or desktop, sign up, and start using the app immediately.

Q: How do daily tasks reset every day?

Task checkmarks automatically reset every night at midnight local time (00:00). When you open or refocus the app on a new calendar day, task completion statuses from yesterday reset to unchecked so you can log your fresh daily routine.

Q: Can I use Tamed offline or in Demo Mode?

Yes. If Supabase credentials are not present or if you select Demo Mode on onboarding, Tamed uses an in-memory mock engine that runs entirely in your local browser storage.

Q: How do I change our custom currency (e.g. from Bones to Fish)?

Under Settings > Persona & Customization, you can update your species avatar (Puppy 🐶, Kitty 🐱, Fox 🦊, or Custom ✨). Changing your species automatically updates your store currency icon and name. Owners can also set custom currency names in settings.

Q: What should I do if my 6-digit pairing code doesn't connect?

  1. Ensure the Owner account has completed profile setup and has a valid 6-digit pair code displayed in Settings.
  2. Verify that the Pet account enters the exact 6-digit pair code without spaces.
  3. If needed, tap Unlink Accounts under Settings to reset and pair again.

Q: How does the 4-digit Security PIN lock work?

You can enable a 4-digit Security PIN under Settings > Security & PIN Lock. Once set, sensitive operations (such as unlinking accounts, deleting profiles, or overriding point balances) require PIN entry (PinModal.jsx). Failing the PIN 5 consecutive times triggers a 15-minute lockout to prevent brute-force attacks.

Q: How is XP and leveling calculated?

Completing daily tasks grants +25 XP. The XP needed to pass from level $L$ to $L+1$ increases progressively according to: $$XP_{\text{needed}}(L \to L+1) = 100 + (L-1) \times 50$$ Leveling up unlocks higher rank titles (Novice Pet 🐣 $\to$ Supreme Royalty 👑) and triggers canvas confetti and Web Audio API synthesizer fanfare!

Q: Why is there a daily limit on display name changes?

To prevent database strain and spamming, display name updates are capped at 5 changes per day. This is enforced both by client-side rate limiters and database triggers (enforce_display_name_rate_limit).

Q: Is my data secure?

Yes. Tamed enforces PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) in Supabase so only you and your paired partner can access your calendar logs, daily tasks, and praise cards. Cryptographically secure random number generators (window.crypto.getRandomValues) generate all pairing keys.

Q: Can I mute sound effects?

Yes. Tap the speaker icon 🔔 / 🔕 in the top navigation bar or toggle sound under Settings > Preferences to mute or enable synthesized Web Audio API sound effects.

Q: Can I clone or self-host this repository?

Yes, for personal use. Under the Personal Use & Non-Redistribution License, anyone is free to clone, self-host, and modify the source code for their own private, personal use. Public redistribution, sub-licensing, or hosting as a commercial SaaS product is strictly prohibited.
