All data is stored locally in Home Assistant. Nothing is sent to external services.
Points — The currency children earn by completing chores. You choose the name (Stars, Coins, Bucks) and icon during setup.
Chores — Tasks assigned to one or more children. Can require parent approval before points are awarded.
Rewards — Goals children save up for. You set a fixed point cost — children work toward it at their own pace.
Streaks — How many consecutive days a child has completed at least one chore. Bonus points are awarded at configurable milestones.
Jackpot Rewards — Special rewards where all assigned children's points pool together toward a shared goal.
