Cause & Effect App — Detailed Feature Flow
A step-by-step roadmap showing how Parents, Individuals, Institutions, and Children work together through tasks, proof, rewards, coins, analytics, and optional AI subscriptions.
Why it works
Kids build discipline through small daily actions. Parents approve proof, coins reinforce progress, rewards create motivation.
Built to scale
Works for one adult, one family, or entire schools/gyms with co-branding, invitations, and analytics.
Investor-friendly
Clear expansion paths: subscriptions, B2B co-branding, usage analytics, and recurring habit loops.
1) Overview — Two apps, four portals
Roadmap StartThe platform consists of a Parent App (with four portal experiences) and a separate Child App for completing tasks, submitting proof, and claiming rewards.
2) Sign-Up & Portal Selection
OnboardingAll users follow the same sign-up flow, then choose which portal experience they want.
- Download the Parent App → tap Sign Up
- Enter email + password → receive OTP by email
- Verify OTP to activate account
- Choose portal: Parent, Individual, Institution, or redirect to download Child App
3) Parent Portal — Manage kids’ tasks, coins & rewards
FamiliesParents coordinate tasks for children, approve proof, award coins, and manage custom rewards. The dashboard includes four tabs: Task, Reward, Member, and Home.
- Progress & Streaks — ongoing vs completed tasks + streak counts
- Coin Balance — coin totals for each child
- Quick Access — pending tasks, claims, notifications
- Member Management — add/remove kids & guardians, roles, teams/groups
4) Individual Portal — Personal habit system + Calendar To-Do
Solo UsersThe Individual Portal mirrors the Parent Portal but for a single adult user: self-assigned tasks, personal rewards, no member management. Includes a built-in Google Calendar task manager (create daily tasks, get reminders like a to-do list).
- Create a daily routine (e.g., workout, reading, meditation)
- Choose reminder time → app notifies beforehand
- Calendar-style planning + streak tracking for motivation
5) Task Management — Manual + Voice AI + Habit Coach
Core EngineTasks can be created manually or via AI subscriptions.
Manual Tasks
- Select category (Environment, Sports, Household Chores, Responsibilities, Family + subcategories)
- Define details: description, coin value, end date/time, repeat frequency
- Assign recipients: single child, multiple children, or teams/groups
- Confirm → task appears in Child App + notifications are sent
