A great routine
starts here.
Clear steps for every part of your family’s mine.
Find a guide, follow along, and get back to your day.
Start with these three steps.
Getting started
Your first family, parent controls, and connected devices.
Set up your first family
Create your parent PIN, add children, and choose your first quests and rewards.
Find your way around the parent portal
Use the six menu icons, open a child’s dashboard, and lock parent mode when you finish.
Use one iPad or iPhone for the whole family
Switch between parent controls and child profiles without needing separate devices.
Pair a child’s iPhone or iPad
Connect a child’s device to the family you already created using a fresh QR invitation.
Connect another parent
Give another parent their own device access, PIN, and recovery code.
Quests & daily routines
Create responsibilities, check work, and manage gems.
Create and edit quests
Give a responsibility clear instructions, a gem value, an assignment, and an approval setting.
Set quest schedules and understand due dates
Choose daily, alternating-day, weekday, weekly, or one-time responsibilities.
Submit, approve, return, or undo a quest
Check real-life work before awarding gems, and reopen an approval when a child needs another try.
Give bonus gems or remove gems
Make a parent adjustment, review the resulting balance, and confirm it before applying.
Reorder, pause, or delete quests and badges
Keep active responsibilities organized and remove catalog items without erasing earned gems.
Rewards, badges & progress
Set motivating goals and follow your child’s effort.
Create gem, streak, and task-count rewards
Add rewards your family will deliver and set exactly what a child needs to earn them.
Claim a reward and mark it delivered
Follow a reward from the child’s Treasure shop to the parent’s delivery checklist.
Create badges for effort and consistency
Set achievement requirements without charging gems or creating a real-life reward purchase.
Read stats, history, and mining progress
See daily gems, habits, approvals, reward history, bonuses, and all 100 mining areas.
Choose quests, rewards, and badges for your child
Build a manageable first routine, make reward prices attainable, and adjust it together over time.
Family & syncing
Profiles, devices, reminders, and life between homes.
Add, edit, archive, or delete a child profile
Manage child names, avatars, reminders, and the difference between archiving and permanent deletion.
View, rename, or remove family devices
Inspect each device’s role, connection status, assigned child, and access.
Sync family devices and understand offline work
Exchange quests, approvals, purchases, and configuration while family apps are open nearby.
Use Chore Miner in a two-household family
Set up shared routines for separated parents and co-parents, carry progress between households, and understand nearby syncing.
Set reminders and control notifications
Choose optional local reminders and understand which alerts parents and children receive.
Privacy, backups & recovery
Protect your saved work and manage access.
Change or recover a parent PIN
Use a saved recovery code or another nearby parent without giving parent access to a child device.
Export an encrypted family backup
Save a password-protected copy of profiles, gems, configuration, history, and pending work.
Restore a family from an encrypted backup
Preview a backup, confirm replacement, create fresh parent access, and reconnect the other devices.
Leave a family or reset the family connection
Choose the right action when retiring one device or ending the current family connection.
Understand privacy and where your data goes
Manage on-device family data, sharing, backups, and optional support exports.
Troubleshooting & purchases
Fix a problem, share diagnostics, or check pricing.
Fix QR scanning and pairing problems
Resolve unusable codes, expired invitations, camera permissions, and an enrollment that will not finish.
Fix missing updates or stalled syncing
Check proximity, permissions, versions, clocks, and queued work before taking destructive action.
Fix missing quests, pending gems, or a streak
Find the responsible setting or approval before changing a child’s balance.
Fix a locked or declined reward
Check gem balance, task requirements, sync, and delivery status.
Export diagnostics or share a crash report
Send support useful technical information while keeping family history and credentials private.
Respond to a save or recovery error
Protect existing files when the app reports an unreadable save, interrupted write, or incompatible version.
Pricing, downloads, and Apple purchases
Understand the one-time price, family-device installs, redownloads, and the difference between gems and money.
Adjust sound, motion, text, and accessibility
Use device settings for comfortable reading, quieter use, and chart text values.
