What is Leny?

Leny is a task management app that helps you organize chores, assign tasks, and track progress. A Leny household is a shared space for you and your home members to keep track of tasks and progress.

Why do I need a Leny account?

• Keep track of tasks and progress
• Share household data with other members
• Earn points and compete with other members

Starting with Leny

Getting started with Leny is super simple. You can choose to either:

1. Start with an Empty Household and build from scratch
2. Join an existing household that one of your home members has already created

Leny's Pages

Dashboard

The dashboard is the main page of Leny. This is your own space in the household. In the top there is a date carousel, when you pick a date you can:

• See your tasks for the day.
• See the scheduled tasks for the day.
• Add a new task for this day only using the "quick add" button.

Tasks Library

In the task library we have 2 sections:

• Household Tasks - Tasks that were added by the household members and are available to all members.
• Suggested Tasks - A set of pre-defined tasks for your convenience. These tasks can be added to the household tasks.

Household Page

This is the page where:

• You can manage the household name and members.
• You can see the points status of the house in the current week.
• You can see the household Feed - all the latest activity in the household.

Scoring & Competition

In this page we have 2 tabs: "This Week" and "History".

• This week, where we can see:
  • The Winners podium
  • The members ranking
  • The members stats - how many tasks are done, skipped, overdue and pending.
• History Tab where we can see the previous weeks' winners.

Creating and Managing Tasks

A household consists of a list of tasks, which you will manage and assign to household members.

Task Parameters

• Name: Tasks can be named anything you want.
• Description: Tasks can have a short description.
• Due date or recurring: Tasks can be due on a specific date or set to recur daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Assignee: Tasks can be assigned to specific household members.
• Duration: Each task has a duration in minutes, which is used to calculate the points.
• Reminder: Users can set a reminder for a task.

Adding a new task

To add a new task, you can either:

1. Use the " + quick add" button in the dashboard.
   • This will add a new task for the current day only.
   • This type of task has only a name and duration.

   

   

2. Use the "Add Task" button in the bottom menu bar.
   • This will add a new task with a name, description, due date, assignee, duration, and reminder option.
   • This type of task will also appear in the tasks library.

   

   

   

3. Add a task from the Suggested Tasks section in the task library.
   • This will add a pre-defined task with a name, description, due date, assignee, duration, and reminder option.
   • This type of task will appear in the tasks library.

   

   

Repeating Tasks

When creating a new task you can set it to a specific date or to repeat daily, weekly or monthly.

Managing Your Tasks

Complete tasks

After completing a task, tap the task's check box in the dashboard. The task will be marked as completed and the points will be added to your account. You can undo the completion by tapping the task's check box again.

Completing a future task will trigger a dialog where you can choose to either:

• Move the task to today as completed. Unchecking the task's checkbox will move the task to its original date.
• Complete it on the future date.

Skip tasks

In order to skip a task, tap the task's skip button in the dashboard. The task will be marked as skipped, and you can undo the skip by tapping the task's check box again.

Overdue tasks

Overdue tasks are marked with a red background and an "overdue" pill. Overdue tasks will trigger a dialog where you can choose between:

• Move the task to today
• Mark the task as skipped
• Ignore the task

If you choose an action for the task, the dialog won't show for it again.

Edit tasks

Tapping a task in the dashboard or in the tasks library will open the task's details for editing.

Admin

The person who created the household is the admin. The admin can:

• Change the household name on the Household page.
• Make other members admins on the Household page.
• Invite new members to the household on the Household page.
• Remove members from the household on the Household page.
• Edit tasks (assignee, duration, etc.) on the Edit task page.
• Remove tasks from the household on the Edit task page.
• Delete the entire household from the Settings page.
• See other members' dashboards from the dashboard page.

How Points Work

Every task in Leny has a point value based on its difficulty and time commitment. When you complete a task, you earn those points. The more challenging or time-consuming the task, the more points you'll earn.

Point Calculation

• Time-based points: 1 minute = 5 points.
• Quick tasks: 5-10 minutes = 25-50 points.
• Medium tasks: 15-30 minutes = 75-150 points.
• Long tasks: 30+ minutes = 150+ points.

Weekly Leaderboards

Every week, Leny tracks how many points each household member earns. The leaderboard shows who's contributing the most to household management.

Leaderboard Features

• Weekly reset: Points reset every week for a fresh competition.
• Real-time updates: See your ranking change as tasks are completed.
• Podium display: Top 3 members are highlighted on the podium.
• Tie handling: Multiple members can share the same position.

Notifications

Leny's notification system is designed to keep you and your household members on track. We've built a smart scheduler that reminds you of tasks, provides weekly summaries, and celebrates your household's achievements. You can customize your notification preferences at any time in the app's settings.

Personal Reminders 🔔

These notifications are sent directly to you to help you manage your personal tasks.

• Daily Plan (10 AM): Every morning, you'll get a notification with a quick overview of the tasks you have pending for the day. If you have no tasks planned, you'll receive a friendly message to enjoy your free time.
• Evening Check-in (8 PM): In the evening, Leny will send a reminder of any tasks you haven't yet completed. It's a great way to make sure nothing gets missed before the day ends.
• Task Reminders: For tasks that have a specific due date or are repeating, you can set a custom reminder time. This notification will be sent at the exact time you set to give you a heads-up that a task is due.

Household Notifications 🏡

These notifications are designed to motivate and inform the entire household.

• Weekly Summary (End of Week): Leny will send a summary of the household's performance for the week. This includes the total number of tasks completed, the percentage of completion, and the total points earned. The notification title changes based on your performance, from "Good Start!" to "Perfect Week!"
• Weekly Winner (Start of New Week): At the beginning of each new week, a notification announces who earned the most points and is the "weekly champ." This helps keep the competition fun and engaging.

Account Settings

In the settings you can:

• Change the app's appearance (theme).
• Configure notifications.
• Configure calendar preferences.
• Report a bug.
• Log out.
• Delete the household.
• Delete the account.
