FAQ
Can I use custom icons?
Yes. Personalize star and warning icons to make them meaningful for your child.
Do stars expire?
Stars count toward your configured threshold. Once converted to coins, the star counter resets per your settings.
What if we disagree on a warning?
Parents can adjust or remove warnings — use them as conversation starters, not punishments.
