Bonus Points

TaskMate has three bonus point systems on top of regular chore completion. All are configured in Settings → Integrations → TaskMate → Configure → Settings.

---

Weekend Points Multiplier

Children earn extra points for completing chores on Saturdays and Sundays.

Setting	Default	Range
Weekend Points Multiplier	2.0	1.0 – 5.0

How it works:

• The multiplier applies to the base points of the chore
• A 10-point chore on Saturday with a 2.0× multiplier earns 10 + 10 = 20 points
• The base points and bonus points are logged as separate transactions in the activity feed
• The multiplier is based on the completion date, not the approval date — fair for weekend chores approved on Monday

Set to 1.0 to disable.

Streak Milestone Bonuses

Children earn bonus points when they hit streak milestones.

Setting	Default
Streak Milestone Bonuses	on
Streak Milestone Configuration	3:5, 7:10, 14:20, 30:50, 60:100, 100:200

Default Milestones

Streak	Bonus
3 days	+5 points
7 days	+10 points
14 days	+20 points
30 days	+50 points
60 days	+100 points
100 days	+200 points

Custom Milestones

Enter your own milestones as days:points pairs, comma-separated:

3:5, 7:10, 14:20, 30:50, 60:100, 100:200

Rules:

• Day counts must be positive integers
• Points must be positive integers
• Pairs must be separated by commas
• Invalid format shows a validation error on save and falls back to the default list
• Leave the field empty to disable all milestones without turning off the toggle

Examples:

More frequent, smaller bonuses for younger kids:

1:2, 3:5, 5:8, 7:15, 14:30, 30:75

Fewer, bigger milestones:

7:15, 30:75, 100:250

Milestone Behaviour

• Milestones are re-earnable — if a streak resets to 0, children can earn the same milestones again
• The streak_milestones_achieved list is cleared when a streak resets, so children start fresh
• Each milestone is only awarded once per streak cycle — a child won't earn the 7-day bonus twice in the same streak
• The bonus is logged in the activity feed as a streak milestone event

---

Perfect Week Bonus

Children earn a bonus when they complete at least one chore every day Monday–Sunday.

Setting	Default	Range
Perfect Week Bonus	on	—
Perfect Week Bonus Points	50	10 – 500

How it works:

• Checked automatically every Monday at midnight
• Requires at least one approved chore completion on each of the 7 days (Mon–Sun)
• Each week is awarded once per child — duplicates are prevented even if the check runs twice
• The awarded weeks are stored as a list of Monday ISO dates on the child record
• The bonus is logged in the activity feed

Streak Tracking

How Streaks Work

• A streak increments when a child completes at least one chore on a given day
• Streaks are checked every night at midnight by the coordinator scheduler
• The check compares last_completion_date against today's date

Streak Reset Mode

Mode	Behaviour
reset (default)	Missing a day resets the streak to 0
pause	Missing a day pauses the streak — it resumes from where it left off on the next completion

Pause mode is useful for holidays, sick days, or families that want to be less strict. The streak_paused flag is set on the child record when a day is missed in pause mode.

Best Streak

best_streak is the highest current_streak value the child has ever had. It never decreases and is used in the Leaderboard card's streak ranking.
