# TodoQuest

> An iOS family app that turns daily routines into a real-world quest game for kids ages 7-9. Trust-based design — no penalties, no reject button, no coin clawback. Korean and English, both first-class.

## What TodoQuest is

- **Product**: TodoQuest (iOS app)
- **Korean name**: 투두퀘스트
- **Maker**: Codeful — Hanam, Republic of Korea
- **Platform**: iOS 18+, iPhone and iPad universal
- **Bundle ID**: app.codeful.kids-todo
- **Languages**: English and Korean, both first-class. Source language is English; Korean ships as a 100%-covered translation layer.
- **Status (2026-05)**: in active development, App Store launch upcoming
- **Categories**: Lifestyle (primary), Productivity (secondary)
- **Target age**: 7-9 years old (kid). Buyer is the parent.
- **Tagline (EN)**: Less nagging. More independence.
- **Tagline (KR)**: 스스로 하는 아이.

## The core loop

1. **Quest** — Parent creates missions (homework, brush teeth, pack bag). Each has an icon and a coin reward.
2. **Coin** — Kid taps complete. Coin lands instantly. No parent gate, no approval queue.
3. **Shop** — Parent stocks the reward shop with real-world rewards: screen time, ice cream, library trip, movie pick.
4. **Reward** — Kid redeems. The app records an IOU; the parent honors it. IOU tracker reminds.

## Trust Tier (autonomy growth)

The meta-game beneath the daily loop. Three tiers:

| Tier | Korean | Unlocks at | Grants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprout | 새싹 | Start | Self-report quests, instant coins, 2 kid-created quests/day at +3 coins each |
| Sturdy | 튼튼이 | 14-day streak OR 5 photo wins | 3 kid-created quests/day at +5 each, propose own rewards (parent confirms with one-tap price adjust) |
| Trusted Star | 신뢰의 별 | 30-day streak OR 20 photo wins | 5 kid-created quests/day, reward proposals auto-confirm after 3 h grace |

## What we removed on purpose

- **No reject button.** Parent options are "Nice" or "Show me more" — never "Failed".
- **No coin clawback.** A 24-h grace auto-approves any pending photo so the kid never waits.
- **No daily-decision burden** on the parent. Approval is asynchronous, optional, and forgiving.
- **No suspicion mechanics.** Photo proof is per-mission opt-in, off by default.
- **No virtual pets, no debit-card hooks.** Differentiates from Joon (virtual pet) and Greenlight (allowance card).

## Trust-based reasoning

7-9 year olds are still building self-confidence. Penalty mechanics damage that more than they prevent gaming. The trust model assumes good faith and uses Trust Tier progression as the autonomy-growth metaphor. Locked design decisions live in the project memory under `trust-based-model`.

## Features

- 6 recurrence patterns for missions: daily, weekly, monthly-by-day, monthly-by-weekday, one-time, date-range
- Photo proof (per-mission opt-in, default off, 24-h auto-approve fallback)
- Tinder-style batch swipe approval for photo wins
- Daily Review — blind star matching between kid and parent + optional messages, bonus +20/+10/+5/0 by star diff + 5 if both messaged
- Self-driven missions (kid-created, tier-gated)
- Reward proposals (kid-suggested, parent-confirmed, Trusted Star auto-approves at 3 h)
- Sunday Wins recap (per-kid weekly summary, including self-driven missions as a separate section)
- 4 child-mode themes (default dark metallic, pink starlight, space cadet, animal village)
- iOS local notifications: weekly Sunday recap, evening daily-review reminder, IOU overdue, reward proposal, photo submission, daily-review-parent prompt — all tap-route to the right surface

## Privacy posture

- **No ads, no tracking, no third-party data sharing.**
- Family data lives only in your iCloud (private CloudKit database + family CKShare zone).
- Photos auto-delete after 30 days.
- No AI training on user data. The app does not call any AI inference provider.
- Aligned with **Korea PIPA Article 22-2** (under-14 guardian consent) and **US COPPA**.

## Pricing

- **Free**: 1 kid, 5 daily missions, 8 rewards, basic celebrations
- **Premium**: 3 kids, unlimited missions and rewards, seasonal mission packs, KR-specific reward templates (학용품 / 떡볶이 / 키즈카페), weekly insights, 12+ celebration animations
- ₩4,900 / month (intentional bad-value anchor)
- ₩39,000 / year (main SKU, ~34% savings)
- ₩89,000 lifetime (one-time, permanent)
