# Erny

> Erny is a family platform that helps parents build discipline, responsibility,
> and healthy habits in children through gamification and behavioral science.
> Parents create tasks with point values, children earn and spend points on
> parent-defined rewards, and the system tracks streaks, badges, and daily
> surprises for motivation.

Erny is available as a web application at https://erny.app with a native iOS
app in development. The platform supports English, Ukrainian, and German.

- Social networking between different families
- Screen time monitoring or device management
- GPS tracking or location services

## How It Works

1. Parents sign up and create a child profile with an Erny character avatar
2. Parents define earning tasks (e.g., "Make your bed" = 5 points) and rewards (e.g., "Extra screen time" = 30 points)
3. Children access their personal interface via a secure link — no account required
4. Children complete tasks and request point approval from parents
5. Parents approve or decline requests from their dashboard
6. Children spend earned points on rewards
7. The system tracks streaks, awards badges, provides daily surprises, and supports saving goals

## Target Audience

- Families with children ages 4-16
- Parents looking to teach responsibility and build healthy habits
