A Family Operating System (Family OS) is the single system a household runs on, the way a phone runs on its operating system. It starts and ends the day with routines, holds the apps for everything in between, and connects them with one currency.
Bravo Family HQ is a credit-based Family OS. The currency is credits. Kids earn them for real effort, and everything else in the system runs on what they have earned.

The Daily Launcher counts the morning down to launch on the kitchen tablet.
An operating system starts up, runs your apps, keeps track of everything, and shuts down. So does a family's day.
The Daily Launcher opens the morning routine on a kitchen tablet: a column for each kid, a countdown to launch time, and a voice that calls out the minutes left.
Between launch and lights out, 40+ apps cover what a family actually does: chores, schoolwork, workouts, Bible reading, money lessons, and games. Each child sees only the apps you allow.
Every app pays into the same ledger. Credits land in three pockets (Spending, Savings, and a Tithe Jar), and the chores, workouts, and purchases that need your yes wait in your Approvals inbox.
The evening routine counts down to lights out. At the deadline the board pays each kid for what they finished, and tomorrow morning is already on the screen.

Effort comes first. Nothing is unlocked by asking again or by a parent giving in. It is earned, and kids can see exactly how.
Amounts shown are Bravo's defaults. You can change what every app pays and what every reward costs.
Credits come from effort a parent can see. Routines pay when they close; chores and workouts pay when you approve them.
The Tithe Jar is a pocket that can only be given. A child adds to it by hand, or chooses to give a part of what they earn. When it is full they ask, and you give the money to your church yourself.
Savings is kept apart from spending money, so a child can build toward something bigger. A wishlist shows how many credits are still needed.
The Family Marketplace holds the rewards you choose. A child asks, you approve, and you hand it over. The Arcade is there for small change.
These are the amounts a new family starts with. You can change what the apps pay in Settings (most under Adjust App Economics, a few beside the app they belong to) and what every reward costs in Settings › Marketplace. Credits are a family currency, not money; if you want them to have a cash value, the default is 10 credits to $1.
Most families already run on a system. It is just spread across the fridge, a few apps, and a lot of reminding.
| What you have now | What a Family OS does |
|---|---|
| A chore chart on the fridge | Chores that pay credits the moment you approve them, and a record of every one. |
| A morning of reminders | A countdown board that does the reminding, in the Voice Pack character your family picks. |
| An allowance with no strings | Credits earned for effort, in pockets for giving, saving, and spending. |
| Screen-time negotiations | Screen time as a reward kids buy with what they earned, on a schedule you set. |
| A different app for every subject | One login per person and one currency across schoolwork, faith, fitness, and money. |
One family, up to 10 people, three kinds of account.

A Family Operating System (Family OS) is the single system a household runs on, the way a phone runs on its operating system. It starts and ends the day with routines, holds the apps for everything in between, and connects them with one currency. Bravo Family HQ is a credit-based Family OS: the currency is credits, and kids earn them.
A chore app tracks tasks and an allowance app moves money. A Family OS is the system around both: routines that run the morning and the evening, apps for schoolwork, fitness, faith, and money lessons, and one currency kids earn, give, save, and spend. Bravo does what those tools do and connects it.
It means effort comes first and the whole system runs on credits. A finished routine, an approved chore, a logged workout, or a memorized verse pays credits. Credits sit in three pockets (Spending, Savings, and a Tithe Jar) and buy rewards from a Marketplace that parents stock. Parents decide what earns credits, how many, and what they buy.
No. Credits are a family currency, and parents decide what they buy. Families who want credits to have a cash value can use the default rate of 10 credits to $1: a child can ask to cash credits out through a reward a parent approves, and a full Tithe Jar shows the child its value in dollars so they can ask a parent to give that amount to their church. The app never moves money.
By default, 10 credits for a finished morning routine and 2 for each evening routine task, 10 for an approved chore or workout, 20 for a finished book or a confirmed Home School day, and 50 for a memory verse or an A on the report card. Bible trivia, history quizzes, and typing practice pay smaller amounts. Parents can change what the apps pay.
Rewards their parents put in the Family Marketplace, such as 30 extra minutes of screen time (20 credits), an ice cream date (30), or a trip to the movies (75), plus games in the Arcade, most at 1 credit a play. A child requests a reward, a parent approves it, and the parent hands it over.
No. Each child has their own login and can use it on a shared family tablet or computer. The Daily Launcher is built to run on one kitchen device for the whole family, and kids who do have a device see their own routine there too.
Minutes. Create your family, add each person, and follow the Family Setup Wizard. It walks you through inviting members, routines, and Marketplace rewards in any order, and you can come back to it later.
Bravo is built by a Christian family and it shows: Faith is one of the five pillars, and Scripture appears in everyday places, such as the honesty check before a child marks a routine done. Parents choose which apps each child sees, but faith is part of how the system is made.
