Remind less
Tasks, study time, and everyday steps are visible in one place. Children know what is next and what they have already accomplished.
Build routines together
Less reminding. More independence.
Sparkle makes small steps visible: children help shape tasks and goals, earn stars for their effort, and gradually build routines they can rely on.
Made for multiple kids
Family data stays private
Made for family life
Progress children can see for themselves.
Sparkle gives everyday tasks a clear structure—without pressure or constant negotiation. Your family decides together what matters.
Recognise effort
Stars provide immediate feedback for agreed tasks. Difficulty and scope can be adjusted for each child.
Let responsibility grow
Children follow their own goals, save for rewards chosen together, and see how small steps add up over time.
Simple from the start
Three steps everyone understands.
Parents set the framework. Children see their path. Sparkle keeps track of the stars and makes the day easier to follow.
-
1
Choose tasks together
Reading, homework, brushing teeth, or practising something new—you decide what matters right now.
-
2
Complete tasks and see progress
Children tick off tasks or use the focus timer. Parents can approve completed tasks in the protected area.
-
3
Celebrate progress together
Stars are saved for agreed rewards, while badges and levels make meaningful milestones visible.
Choose rewards together
Time together, small privileges, or a shared family goal—you decide what genuinely fits your family.
Parents set the framework
Tasks, stars, and approvals stay under your control in the PIN-protected parent area.
Personal, not generic
Avatars, colours, and unlockable designs give every child a space that feels like their own.
Designed for thoughtful use
A helpful start—not the whole strategy.
Sparkle does not replace connection or clear expectations. It helps make routines understandable, recognise concrete effort, and gradually step back once a habit begins to hold.
See our practical guidance in the FAQ →Children help shape tasks, goals, and rewards. That makes expectations clearer and gives their perspective a place.
Stars recognise concrete steps. What has been earned stays earned and is not removed later as punishment.
Each child receives suitable tasks and follows their own progress—not a sibling's score.
Once a task has become a natural part of the day, it can gradually leave the reward system.
For after-school clubs & small learning groups
Clear routines for a consistent group.
Sparkle was designed for families and can also support stable small groups. Multiple children can be managed on one device, with individual tasks and goals for each child.
For use in a school or other organisation, we review privacy, device management, and local requirements together with the responsible team.

Frequently asked
Good to know.
Is Sparkle really free?
Yes. Sparkle is currently free to download from the App Store and ready to use straight away.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, email address, or password. Add your first child and get started.
Does Sparkle work without internet?
Yes. Sparkle works locally on your device. Optional iCloud sync needs a connection, but everyday use does not.
What age is Sparkle designed for?
Sparkle was designed for families with children roughly aged 4 to 12. Tasks, stars, and rewards can be adapted to the individual child.
Can rewards reduce a child's own motivation?
They can, especially for something a child already enjoys. We recommend clear goals chosen together, specific encouragement, and gradually fading out stars once a routine begins to hold.
Can clubs or schools use Sparkle?
After-school clubs and consistent small groups can use Sparkle on a shared, managed device. Schools should review the intended use, device setup, and privacy requirements with the responsible team first.
Where is our data stored?
On your device and—if enabled—in your private iCloud account. Anka TMS cannot access names, tasks, stars, or rewards.
Ready for the first small step?
Routines do not grow overnight. But they can begin today.
Start with three tasks that genuinely matter to your family. Sparkle keeps track of stars, progress, and what comes next.
