Bug Fix
Responsibility titles now match earned levels
Responsibility Pillar titles now start at level 2 instead of level 1. The earned identities section only shows titles a child has actually unlocked, so early XP in other pillars no longer clutters the list.
Bug Fix
Chore celebrations now start right away
The chore completion celebration now appears right away, stays visible long enough to read, includes a dismiss button, shows Responsibility Pillar progress when XP is awarded, and calls out New Skill bonuses with a special headline.
Feature
Chore completions now show Responsibility progress
When a completed chore adds Responsibility XP, the Done celebration now shows the pillar, level, XP gain, and progress toward the next title so kids can see exactly how their work helped them grow.
Feature
Kiosk Mode can include parents too
Kiosk Mode now lets families include parent profiles in the shared-tablet roster, so parents with their own chores can use the same focused checklist while parent controls stay locked until Kiosk Mode is exited.
Feature
Dashboard avatars now open Responsibility Progress
The dashboard chore list now lets you tap a child's avatar to open their Responsibility Progress without leaving the page, replacing the separate Family Growth card. The approval card's caught-up message also keeps its close button neatly inline on mobile.
Bug Fix
Routines now reveal one step at a time, everywhere
Routine chores are meant to surface a single next step instead of dumping every step into the list at once. The mobile app now collapses routine steps the same way the web dashboard does, so your child only sees the step they're on. Google Tasks sync was also creating every routine step as a separate task all at once — it now pushes only the current step, then the next one appears after each step is finished, keeping your Google Tasks list tidy.
Feature
Responsibility titles now show up across the whole app
The identities your kids earn no longer live only on the Pillars page. Player dashboards now feature a "Your Journey" card showing the title they hold and how close they are to the next one, with one tap to the full Pillars view. Profiles lead with each child's earned titles, and the profile/kiosk switcher shows title chips under each name so picking a profile feels like choosing a character. Parents get a new "Family Growth" section on the dashboard summarizing every child's top title at a glance, and unlocking a new title now posts a distinct, celebratory card in the family activity feed that stays in your history.
Feature
Responsibility Pillars now grant titles your kids grow into
Each Responsibility Pillar now turns progress into an identity instead of just a number. As children build XP, their level unlocks titles like Helper → Housekeeper → Chore Master for Home Care, with a matching ladder of seven titles for every pillar. The Responsibility Progress card leads with each child's current title, the next title, and how close they are to it, plus a strip of the identities they've already earned. When a chore completion grows a pillar, kids see a quick celebration showing their title and progress bar climbing — and when they reach a brand-new title, it's marked with confetti and announced in the family activity feed so parents can celebrate the moment too.
