Style

Make it theirs: avatar & colour themes.

The smallest screen in the app. The biggest ownership lever you've got.

⏱️ 2 minutes🧒 Kid🎯 Result: an app that feels like theirs

Kids stick with tools they feel ownership of. The Style screen — found under MeStyle — is where KidsFocus stops being "the app Mum installed" and becomes "my app". Two choices, big effect.

How to personalise

  1. Open the Me tab and tap Style ("Pick your avatar and favorite colors") — the Customize screen opens.
    The KidsFocus Customize screen showing the name field, the avatar picker, the Save Profile button, and the Color Theme picker with five swatches
    Customize: avatars, colour themes, one Save button. Simple on purpose.
  2. Set their name — what the app calls them every morning.
    The name field at the top of the Customize screen
    The name the app greets them with every morning.
  3. Choose an avatar. Eight friendly animals — cat, dog, bear, fox, panda, lion, bunny or owl — or tap Your photo to upload a real one. The picked avatar gets a pink border.

    Eight animals or their own photo — the pick gets a pink border.
  4. Tap Save Profile.
    The Save Profile button on the Customize screen
    Save Profile locks in the new look.
  5. Pick a colour theme below: Rainbow (bright and colorful), Ocean (cool blues and greens), Forest (natural greens), Sunset (warm oranges and pinks) or Candy (sweet pinks and purples). The whole app re-skins instantly.

💡 Parent tip

Let them change it as often as they like. A kid who re-themes their app weekly is a kid opening the app weekly. That's the whole game.

✅ That's the full tour

You've now seen every screen your family will use day to day. The best next step isn't another guide — it's three tasks on tomorrow's list. Start small, start tomorrow morning.
