Rewards & Coins

The rewards system lets students earn coins for completing their lessons and tasks. Parents and guardians decide what those coins are worth — whether it's extra screen time, a treat, or anything else that motivates your learner.

How Students Earn Coins

Students earn coins automatically in two ways:

Completing Curriculum Lessons

When you create or edit a curriculum schedule, you can set the Coins per Lesson value (1–100 coins). Every time a student completes a lesson in that curriculum, they earn that many coins. The default is 1 coin per lesson.

You can set different coin values for different curricula — for example, 3 coins for a challenging math lesson and 1 coin for an easier reading lesson.

Completing Extra Work & Tasks

When creating extra tasks or chores, each task has its own Coins Earned value (1–100 coins). Students earn those coins when they mark the task as complete. This works for one-time tasks as well as recurring daily, weekly, or monthly tasks.

Tip: If a lesson or task is accidentally marked complete and then undone, the earned coins are automatically reversed — so balances always stay accurate.

Viewing Coin Balances

You can see each student's coin balance in several places:

  • Students tab — Each student card displays their current coin balance next to their name.
  • Coin History screen — Accessible from the Progress tab, this shows a full dashboard with balances for every student, including a breakdown of total earned, total spent, and current balance.

Transaction History

The Coin History screen also includes a complete timeline of every coin transaction:

  • What was earned or spent, and when
  • Which lesson or task triggered the transaction
  • Filter by date range (7 days, 30 days, or all time)
  • Filter by student or transaction type

Cashing In Coins

When a student is ready to redeem their coins, a parent or guardian handles the cash-in process:

  1. Go to the Students tab
  2. Tap the menu on the student's card
  3. Select Cash In Coins
  4. Enter the number of coins to redeem
  5. Optionally add a description of the reward (e.g., "Extra 30 min screen time" or "Ice cream treat")
  6. Confirm the transaction

The coins are deducted from the student's balance and the transaction appears in their history.

Your rewards, your rules: There's no predefined prize catalog. You decide what coins are worth for your family. Some families use coins for screen time, others for allowance money, outings, or special privileges. Whatever motivates your students!

Manual Adjustments

Parents can also manually add or deduct coins from the Coin History screen. This is useful for:

  • Bonus rewards for exceptional effort or behavior
  • Correcting a balance if needed
  • Special one-off rewards outside of regular lessons

All manual adjustments are tracked in the transaction history with a description, so you always have a clear record.
