MoRo app

Moro is a simple tablet app designed to help families stay in sync with daily routines and schedules.

Problem

Children often struggle to follow basic daily routines independently, requiring constant prompting from parents.
Families lack a simple, shared system to coordinate chores and routines with their calendar, leading to stress and miscommunication.

Goal

The goal of the project is to create a tablet and mobile app that helps families stay organized by making daily routines visual, engaging, and easy to follow—especially for children. It aims to reduce the need for constant reminders while keeping everyone aligned through a shared calendar and personalized task tracking.

Emphathy & Define

User research included interviews with three families to gather insights into their routine management habits and pain points, as well as an evaluation of three existing to-do list applications. Initial assumptions focused on the need for more efficient task scheduling; however, the findings revealed that the primary challenges were maintaining consistent routines for children, reducing the need for constant verbal reminders, and aligning household members.

Existing solutions were found to be either too complex for daily family use or not engaging enough for children, highlighting the need for a simple, visually intuitive, and family-oriented application.

Persona

Problem statement: Maria is a busy, organized parent of three with a demanding career who needs a simple, kid-friendly way to manage daily routines and coordinate schedules because she’s tired of constant reminders, missed tasks, and juggling too many tools to keep her family on track.

User journey map

Maria’s user story: As a busy parent managing a full-time job and three kids, I want to create and share daily routines that my children can follow independently, so that I can reduce constant reminders, stay organized, and ensure the whole family is in sync—even when I’m not home.

Ideate

Brainstormed to create a simple, engaging interface that helps kids follow routines independently while keeping the family organized with minimal effort.

Paper wireframes

The goal was to create a simple, engaging interface that helps kids follow routines independently while keeping the family organized with minimal effort.

Digital wireframes

Our MoRo app will let families create and manage shared routines and chores, which will affect parents and children by helping them to complete tasks independently and reducing the need for constant reminders.

We will measure effectiveness by tracking the number of completed routines per child

Prototype

The MoRo app prototype was designed as a tablet-based task management system tailored for children and families. The primary goal was to create an intuitive interface that supports task scheduling, rewards, and parental control, promoting responsibility and motivation for younger users.

Role-based Assignment: Tasks can be assigned to multiple family members, promoting collaborative participation.
Child-friendly Interface: The layout uses clear sections (Morning, Afternoon, Evening tasks) and bold visual cues for task completion. In this view, users can observe their assigned tasks and mark them as done by tapping completion checkboxes.
Gamification Elements: Integration of a rewards system to encourage task completion through positive reinforcement.
Accessible Navigation: Sidebar navigation allows quick access to Chores, Rewards, Child Mode, and Settings.

Usabilllity Testing

Usability study was conducted with one adult and two children 6 and 8 years old.

Testing goals:

Assess ease of use for both parent and child views
Observe task creation, editing, and task completion interactions
Identify any usability challenges or confusion points in the navigation and task flow

Key Observations:

Children successfully identified and marked their tasks as completed
Parents were able to easily create and edit tasks
Minimal guidance was required to navigate between views
The visual hierarchy and color coding effectively supported user understanding

Insights for improvement:

Slight adjustment to icon size and spacing in the child mode for better touch accuracy
Additional confirmation step considered for task deletions in parent view to prevent accidental removal
Introduce navigation through week days or a calendar view to allow users to see upcoming tasks for tomorrow or specific days

Outcomes

Prototype successfully developed and tested with initial users (1 adult, 2 children), confirming usability of core features
Ongoing learning and development — continuing to enhance web coding skills using AI services (Bolt) to support future iterations and scalability
