No rush, no streak
Your first week
A week of small things, then a few more whenever you feel like it. Skip any of them — the app works fine with half of this done.

Day 1
Put everyone's name in
Names are how the app stays gentle — it can say 'Amina' instead of 'assignee'. Nobody gets chores assigned automatically.
Open settingsDay 1
Capture one thing with Quick add
Tap Quick add anywhere and dump half a sentence. It lands in triage — you don't have to decide what it is yet.
See where it landsDay 2
Look at Today, and only Today
The home screen shows at most three things on purpose. If it feels like too much, that's information, not failure.
Open TodayDay 3
Add two dates you'd hate to miss
Birthdays, appointments, the field trip. The app quietly suggests prep a few days ahead so you're not scrambling.
Open the calendarDay 4
Sort your triage list once
Each captured line gets a home: calendar, task, ride, meal, shopping, waiting-on, someday — or deleted, which is always allowed.

Try the weekly pulse
A one-minute how-are-we for each person: a colour, a word, anything you want to add. It's a temperature check, never a score, and answers can stay private.
Open the pulseDay 6
Let the kids ask for things in the app
Requests and their week's news go into triage, so nobody has to be interrogated on Sunday and nobody has to nag.

Do your first Sunday Shura
Twenty quiet minutes: empty triage, read the kids' updates, sort rides, meals and shopping, then read the family brief for the week. Stop halfway if you want — it remembers where you were.
Start the ShuraAny day, one minute
Try a daily check-in
A mood, five soft sliders and one line about the day. Each person's days quietly average into the weekly pulse, and Home shows who's checked in this week plus a small heatmap of the last few weeks. Blank days are just blank.
Check in for todayAny day
Decide if you want reminders at all
Both nudges — daily and weekly — are off until you switch them on, under Notifications on Home. They only ever appear inside the app, and 'Not today' makes them go away without a trace.

Invite the rest of the household
Send a link and choose whether that person joins as a guardian or a family member. Kids get their own private space for pulse answers and journal notes.

Name one amanah instead of a chore
Amanahs are responsibilities someone is trusted with, held gently. Alongside them sit du'a & shukr, sadaqah & family ties, and adab & repair if your family wants that layer.
Open amanahsWeek two
Put one document in the file cabinet
Upload a PDF or photograph a letter. Files live in drawers by type, can be limited to guardians or chosen people, keep version history, and can carry a re-check date or a temporary share link.
Open the cabinetWeek three
Notice something with a star
Stars mark effort someone chose to make; there's a monthly budget so they stay meaningful, and nothing is ever taken away as a punishment.
Open the star jarWeek three
Write one line in the journal
A private space for notes, photos and memories with dates and tags. Pulse answers and check-ins can be saved into it with one tap.

Glance at Looking ahead
The year's practical checklist — school forms, renewals, seasonal things. Answer a question and it can become a dated item on the calendar for you.

Turn off anything you didn't use
Settings can hide whole sections — meals, rides, money, wellbeing, Islamic life, joy. A smaller app you actually open beats a complete one you avoid.

How Sunday Shura works
The one ritual that holds the rest together.
Once a week — Sunday is a suggestion, not a rule — you sit down for about twenty minutes and walk through nine short steps: set an intention, empty triage, read what the kids told you, sort rides, plan a few dinners, glance at shopping and what you're waiting on, notice what needs preparing, and end with a family brief you can re-read all week.
It saves as you go. Leaving after step three and coming back Tuesday is a completely normal way to use it.
How the weekly pulse works
A temperature check, never a test.
Each person answers a one-minute check-in: how the week felt, a word or two about it, and anything they want the family to know. Answers can be kept private to the person who wrote them, and "nothing this week" is a complete answer.
There's also a one-minute daily check-in — a mood, five soft sliders and a line about the day. Each person's days average into that week's pulse, and Home shows who's checked in, how much of the week has been counted, and a small heatmap of the last few weeks. Daily and weekly reminders both stay off until someone switches them on.
Over time the pulse becomes a quiet history you can look back on — it isn't scored, ranked or compared between people, and missing weeks leave no gap to feel bad about.
Everything else the app can do
One page, plain language, no tour required.
Amanahs, meals, bills, rides, the file cabinet, stars, the journal, du'a and shukr, joy and someday — all of it is listed with a sentence each, so nothing stays hidden behind More.
