It’s like an electronic index for your ephemera: the notes you took at the pediatrician’s, a photo of a color for the playroom. Take a picture (or clip pages from your Web browser) and the app indexes material by the tags you create—or even by the text within the photo (like the words “Taxi Yellow” on the paint chip you snapped).

Set daily or weekly goals for kids (sharing, picking up toys), and award stars—ones that won’t fall off a chart in the kitchen—for stellar behavior. Kids can exchange stars for rewards, like an extra hour of TV or a few dollars.
