Built by parents, for parents

Meet the Hub that runs your family's day

Designed with behavioural science and child psychology in mind, Nelli creates structured routines at home that make kids more responsible and accountable. With engaging star points and rewards, children love seeing their progress and reaching their goals.

Nelli's magic lies within motivating kids through goal-setting and collaboration with their parents, fostering independence, joy, and a sense of achievement.

Here's how a task actually happens

No chasing, no checking, no "did you brush your teeth yet?" Here's the loop that runs all day, every day:

1 Step 1

Nelli speaks up

At the time you've set, your child's jingle plays and Nelli calls out the task by name: "Hey Mila, it's time to pack your school bag." You didn't have to say a word.

2 Step 2

They do it and tap it done

The task is right there on their dashboard, with its own icon. They complete it and mark it off themselves.

3 Step 3

Stars land instantly

Each task earns 1 to 3 stars, with a celebration animation for the win. Effort becomes progress they can see.

4 Step 4

Stars become rewards

Stars build toward reward goals you've created together — extra screen time, pocket money, choosing the family movie. When they've earned enough, they redeem it on the Hub.

Then it repeats.Tomorrow, Nelli reminds them again. And again. Until one day you notice they're doing the routine before Nelli even asks. That's the point.

You've probably tried a chore chart Here's why it's different

Sticker charts, chore boards and family calendar apps all share one flaw: you still have to be the reminder, the enforcer and the reward-keeper. Nelli takes those jobs off your plate.

The behavioural science

Why it keeps working after the novelty wears off

When kids don't follow routines, it's not because they won't. It's because they can't yet. Nelli is built on the five principles child psychologists and OTs use to change that — and it runs every one of them, every single day, without you having to.

Start here

1

Principle 01

Predictability

No surprises, easier transitions

Kids feel safe and in control when they know exactly what's coming. Visual AM and PM routines take the guesswork out of the day, so the hard moments — getting dressed, leaving the house, starting homework — stop being a negotiation.

What you'll notice: Fewer "but why do I have to" stand-offs.

2

Principle 02

Repetition

Habits form through rhythm, not effort

Habits are built by daily rhythm, not one big push. Nelli runs the same reliable structure every single day, so the routine stops being a decision your child has to make and starts being something they just do.

What you'll notice: You stop being the one who has to remember.

3

Principle 03

Reward

Effort they can actually see

Stars create a visible link between effort and achievement. Small wins add up toward rewards you've set together — so delayed gratification gets learned through practice, not lectured about at the dinner table.

What you'll notice: Kids chase their next goal, not your next reminder.

4

Principle 04

Autonomy

This is the big one

Because Nelli does the prompting, the instruction no longer comes from you. That single shift removes the power struggle — your child acts on the task instead of pushing back against you. And every "I did it myself" builds confidence that lasts well beyond the routine.

What you'll notice: The nagging quietly disappears from your day.

5

Principle 05

Feedback

They always know how they're going

Celebration animations, rising star counts and rewards that light up when they're within reach. Kids get instant, encouraging feedback at every step, so momentum keeps building instead of fading out in week three.

What you'll notice: Pride, not pressure.

It's not about ticking boxes. It's about teaching independence, structure and emotional regulation — in a way that feels like fun.

From unboxing to your first "wait, they just did it without being asked?" — here's how easy it is.

Watch the excitement build as your kids get closer to their goals — and the nagging quietly disappears from your day.

Good questions, honest answers

No — the Nelli Hub works fully without one. Buy the Hub and everything on it is yours, including lifetime software updates. The optional Nelli Parent App, which lets you manage routines from your phone, is available separately as a small subscription with a free trial. The Hub never needs it to work.
Nelli is the opposite of the screens parents worry about. There's no browser, no games, no videos and no ads — nothing to scroll and nothing to get lost in. Kids interact with it for seconds at a time: check what's next, tap a task done, watch their stars grow.
Novelty fades; routines don't. Nelli is built on repetition and reward — the same principles that make habits stick — and recurring rewards keep goals fresh. Parents tell us engagement grows as kids start chasing their next reward.
Beautifully. Hubs sync across households on the same account, so your child gets the same routines, stars and rewards wherever they are. Stability builds comfort and calm.
