What Is Our Family Habits and Who Is It For?

Updated

Our Family Habits is a family habit tracker app for kids, chores, and routines. It is built for parents who want to reinforce character and consistency rather than just check off tasks — particularly homeschool families, Charlotte Mason families, blended families, traditional families, and parents who describe themselves as intentional about family rhythms. The app combines habits, chores, routines, rewards, and a shared family dashboard in one place, with a free start and no credit card required.

What the app actually does

The product is organized around five connected pieces, which the site describes as a "family operating system" rather than a simple chore chart:

  • Habits and chores — You define what you want to celebrate in your house (reading, music practice, chores, kindness) and set the point values yourself.
  • Rewards — Kids spend earned points on privileges and small joys; kids choose, parents approve.
  • Family kiosk dashboard — A shared screen (for example, a tablet on the counter) that the whole family can see at a glance.
  • Weekly insights — A weekly digest and "growth stages" that make progress visible over time.
  • Character focus — The stated goal is reinforcing responsibility, consistency, initiative, and character, not just task completion.

Setup is described as taking about 10 minutes.

Who it is designed for

Family type Why it fits
Homeschool families Built by a homeschool family of 7, per the site
Charlotte Mason families Character- and habit-centered approach aligns with the philosophy
Blended families Shared visibility helps even out contribution across children
Traditional families General family rhythm and chore management
Intentional parents Parents who care more about character than checklists

The problems it targets

The site frames the app around a set of familiar household frustrations:

  • Constant reminders — feeling like a broken record
  • Sticker chart chaos — motivation fading after a week
  • Uneven responsibility — some children contributing while others avoid helping
  • No visibility — children waiting to be told what to do
  • Reward battles — rewards feeling random or gamed
  • Invisible character growth — kindness, initiative, and consistency being hard to reinforce

Pricing and getting started

The site states you can start free with no credit card required, and "pay when you're ready to level up." A separate pricing page exists at ourfamilyhabits.com/pricing for the paid tiers. The specific prices and plan limits are not included in the available page content, so check the pricing page directly before deciding.

Who should look elsewhere

If you only need a basic chore checklist with no interest in rewards, character tracking, or a shared family screen, a simpler task app may be enough. Our Family Habits is aimed at families who want the habit-and-character layer, not just task management.
