A reward-chart app for families and groups

Sparkle turns everyday tasks into stars children can see, collect and be proud of — and, little by little, into habits that stay.

02Tasks become stars

Everyday tasks become achievements.

Reading, homework, helping at home — you choose the tasks together. Every one that gets done turns into stars your child can actually see.

03Stars become progress

Progress you can actually see.

Every star moves the goal a little closer. Children don't have to imagine progress — they watch it grow, day by day.

04Progress becomes rewards

Something worth working toward.

Rewards are chosen together — an extra-long story, being Snack Boss for a day, a sleepover in the parents' room. Small wishes with big meaning, earned one star at a time.

05Rewards become habits

Small wins become habits.

Streaks, twenty levels and badges turn everyday effort into a story children are proud of. And once a routine holds on its own, the stars can quietly step back.

06Together

Built for the whole family.

Kids tick it off. Parents give the high-five. One app, two views — and everyone gets to celebrate the progress.

Designed for thoughtful use

Start with a practical reward-chart example

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.

  1. 01

    Decide together

    Children help shape tasks, goals, and rewards. That makes expectations clearer and gives their perspective a place.

  2. 02

    Effort over perfection

    Stars recognise concrete steps. What has been earned stays earned and is not removed later as punishment.

  3. 03

    Personal progress, not comparison

    Each child receives suitable tasks and follows their own progress — not a sibling's score.

  4. 04

    Let rewards fade

    Once a task has become a natural part of the day, it can gradually leave the reward system.

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.
