FAQ
MiloMint, answered.
The questions parents ask most about chores, allowance, earned screen time, reading logs, kid safety, and MiloMint Plus. Need more detail? See MiloMint Plus pricing or email contact@milomint.app.
What is MiloMint?
MiloMint is a parent-controlled iOS app that turns family chores, routines, homework, allowance, and screen time into one calm system. Parents set it up once, kids see exactly what to do today, and completed work waits for a one-tap parent approval.
Is MiloMint free?
Yes — MiloMint is free to download on iOS, with no ads. The wallet is a parent-managed family ledger, not real money: MiloMint never holds, moves, or transfers funds and isn't a bank, broker, or investing product. MiloMint Plus is an optional paid subscription that adds Snap photo-import and unlimited printing.
What is MiloMint Plus and what does it cost?
MiloMint Plus is $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year. It keeps everything in the free app and adds two things: Snap, which photo-imports school schedules and flyers into reviewable calendar entries with a monthly quota, and unlimited clean printing of charts and reading logs in all themes.
How does Snap (scan a schedule to my calendar) work?
You photograph a paper school schedule, sports flyer, or class list, and MiloMint's AI reads the dates, times, and recurring days into proposed calendar entries. Nothing is committed automatically — you review and edit each entry before it saves, and the photo is used only to read the schedule and is not stored.
How does screen time work?
Kids earn the day's screen-time minutes by finishing their assigned tasks, and parents set the daily budget — separate school-day and weekend amounts — and can pause or reduce it anytime. An optional Wind-Down Plan can gently lower the daily limit over weeks, with streaks for staying under.
Does MiloMint block or lock apps on the device?
No. MiloMint is a parent-managed agreement and tracker, not a hard device lock. It tracks whether the day's tasks are done and shows the minutes a child has earned, so families use it alongside their phone's own built-in controls. It manages the agreement, not the hardware.
How do I track my child's reading?
Set a daily reading goal (15, 30, 45 minutes, or an hour). Each day your child taps that they read and which book — or snaps the cover and MiloMint fills in the title — and you approve with one tap. MiloMint keeps the running log with streaks and reading levels; younger kids without a device are simply confirmed by you.
Can I print a reading log for school?
Yes. MiloMint generates a clean one-page monthly reading log — every confirmed day with the date, minutes, and book, plus a parent signature line — that you can print or share as a named PDF. It's the paper record summer-reading and classroom programs ask families to turn in.
How does allowance work?
Parents choose which chores earn money, approve completed work, and run a weekly payday. Bonuses, deductions, and reward redemptions all show up in a clear wallet history so families can explain exactly what happened. Nothing changes a child's balance until a parent approves it.
Is MiloMint safe for kids?
Parents create and control every child profile. Kids sign in with a private Kid Code and PIN — no email — and can't reach parent settings, approvals, or family data. There are no public profiles, social feeds, or ads, and we do not sell family or child data.
What ages is MiloMint for?
MiloMint suits early-elementary through pre-teen kids — roughly five to thirteen — anyone old enough to follow a daily routine and work toward allowance or screen time. Parents tailor tasks, rewards, goals, and budgets to each child, so it scales from early readers to tweens.
Do chores and routines repeat automatically?
Yes. MiloMint supports daily, weekly, and school-day recurring tasks. Each morning the app regenerates that day's due tasks and marks anything never submitted as missed. You set a task's schedule once and MiloMint maintains the chart, so you stop re-entering the same tasks every week.
