Daily Launcher: mornings and bedtimes on one kitchen board

A morning routine that gets everyone out the door, and an evening routine that counts down to lights out. Kids tick their tasks, the countdown does the reminding, and credits pay themselves when the routine closes.

A working miniature. The real board shows your own kids, tasks, and times.

One board, all day

It always shows the part of the day you are in, and what comes next.

  1. Morning

    Counting down to launch

    Each kid’s column shows what is left before it is time to leave. The countdown turns amber, then red, and the board calls out the minutes.

  2. Morning done

    Paid, and the evening is posted

    At launch time the board settles the morning by itself. It shows who finished what, and what tonight’s routine will ask.

  3. Evening

    Counting down to lights out

    Homework by 5:00, shower by 7:30, reading before bed. Each task has its own time, and the next one due is always on top.

  4. Evening done

    Settled, and tomorrow is ready

    The night closes at the deadline, credits are paid, and tomorrow morning’s list is already on the screen.

What the board does for you

It came from our own kitchen: first the morning routine, then the same board for bedtime.

One board, two routines

Prop a tablet on the kitchen counter. The board shows whichever routine is live, with every kid in their own column, and rolls over to the next day at midnight.

A countdown that speaks

Tiles turn amber with 15 minutes left and red with 5. The Voice Pack character your family picks calls out 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 1 minute to go, so the clock does the reminding.

Tasks by a time, or for a time

A task can be “by 7:30,” “takes 20 minutes,” or untimed. Switch on in-order and a kid can only tick the next task on the list.

School days and weekends

Two profiles are set up for you the first time you switch it on. Each has its own morning and evening, and you pick the weekdays it runs.

Kids’ own devices, too

Kids see their own routine on their own device, with the same countdown. A task can be for everyone or just for the kids you pick.

An honest All Done

Before a kid marks the routine finished, they answer a Colossians 3:23 check: did you give your best for the Lord? It is a pause, not a lecture.

Credits pay themselves

At launch time or the deadline the board pays each kid by itself. Mornings start all-or-nothing and evenings pay per task; switch either one, and add a penalty if you want one. Or confirm everyone early with your PIN.

Room for real life

Skip tonight for everyone, or skip one task for one kid. A routine nobody touched at all is skipped, not penalized.

Parent controls behind a PIN

Edit today’s routines or any profile right from the board, and take a night back if the work was not really done. Forgot the PIN? Reset it with your account password.

You set the stakes

Mornings start on all-or-nothing and evenings on per task, and you can switch either one. Here is what a six-task routine pays under each rule before you change a number.

A kid finishesPer task (+2 each, where evenings start)All-or-nothing (+10, where mornings start)
All 6 tasks+12+10
5 of 6 tasks+100
None00

Either rule can also take credits away for an unfinished routine. That penalty starts at zero, and setting it is your call. Credits go out by themselves at the deadline, or wait for you to confirm.

About two minutes

Turning it on takes three steps

  1. 1

    Open Settings › Daily Launcher

    It sits with the other parent controls. Kids never see this screen.

  2. 2

    Switch Mornings and Evenings on

    Starter profiles for school days and weekends are set up the first time, already filled with the routines on this page. Edit any task or time.

  3. 3

    Open the Daily Launcher on a kitchen device

    It shows whichever routine is live, then the results, then the next routine. Kids see the change the next time they open the app.

Questions parents ask us

What is the Daily Launcher?

The Daily Launcher is the morning and bedtime routine board in Bravo Family HQ. It runs on a tablet in the kitchen and shows each kid’s tasks in their own column, with a countdown that changes color and speaks as time runs out. Kids tick tasks on the board or on their own device, and credits pay themselves when the routine closes.

How is the Daily Launcher different from the Morning Launcher?

The Daily Launcher is the newer of the two. It is one board for both the morning and the evening routine, with a time on each task and credits that can pay themselves at the deadline. The original Morning Launcher runs mornings only and pays when a parent approves. A family uses one at a time and can switch in Settings; switching deletes nothing.

Do we need a tablet in the kitchen?

No. A tablet on the counter is what the board is designed around, because the whole family can see it, but the Daily Launcher opens on a phone or a computer too. Kids can follow their own routine on their own device with the same countdown.

How do kids earn credits for a routine?

Each routine pays by one of two rules. All-or-nothing pays 10 credits only if every task is done, and it is the rule mornings start on. Per task pays 2 credits for each task finished by the deadline, and it is the rule evenings start on. You can switch either routine to the other rule and change both amounts. Either rule can also carry a penalty for an unfinished routine; the penalty starts at zero.

What stops a kid from ticking everything without doing it?

Three things. Before All Done, a kid answers a Colossians 3:23 check: did you give your best for the Lord? You can choose to confirm each routine yourself instead of letting it pay by itself. And after a routine has paid, a parent can take that night back.

What happens on a night we skip?

Nothing is paid and nothing is taken. Skip tonight excuses the routine for everyone behind your PIN, and a single task can be skipped for one kid. A routine nobody touched at all is treated as skipped, not as failed.

Can each child have different tasks?

Yes. A task is for everyone or for the kids you pick, so a seven-year-old and a thirteen-year-old can share one board with different lists. Each task can also have its own time.

How much does the Daily Launcher cost?

It is included in Bravo Family HQ. Every family starts with 3 months free. After that it is $9.99 a month or $59 a year for the whole family, up to 10 members. Cancel any time.
