Rewards

What this module is for

Rewards turns household work into a structured incentive system. It is especially useful for families that want chores, routines or goals to lead to something visible and trackable instead of relying on memory or ad-hoc promises.

What people usually do here

  • Let completed tasks credit points to the assigned family member.
  • Maintain a reward catalog that members can browse and redeem from.
  • Approve or reject redemption requests when parental review matters.
  • Review the ledger when someone wants to understand where a balance came from.

How it connects to other modules

  • Tasks is the main source of points.
  • Family provides the member identities and roles that make approval and balances meaningful.

Good to know

  • A household-wide default point value can prefill new tasks.
  • When that default changes, unfinished tasks can be updated to match the new rule.
  • The ledger is explicit on purpose: it gives the module a clear audit trail instead of leaving balances unexplained.
  • Rewards can stay opt-in per member, which helps when not every person in the household should use the same incentive system.
