I'll do it in a minute
“In a minute” turns into evening, and homework is left for the last hour before bed.
Reminders at the right time
The app reminds them when to start, and your child taps “Start activity”.
You and your child plan the afternoon together, and Egendi helps them start activities on time, like homework. The app takes over the reminders, and your child sees their own progress.
Sound familiar?
Often the hardest part isn't the work itself, but the first step. Here's how Egendi helps.
I'll do it in a minute
“In a minute” turns into evening, and homework is left for the last hour before bed.
The app reminds them when to start, and your child taps “Start activity”.
What do I do now?
Lots of free time after school and no plan, so the phone wins.
You plan the day together, and your child sees what's next and what comes after.
Have you started yet?
The same question every day, and you're both tired of reminders.
You see when an activity started and finished, so there's no need to ask.
Up late again
Homework finished late pushes back bedtime, and the morning starts tired.
Work is planned earlier, so there's time left for play and sleep.
What research says
Egendi builds on what psychology research shows about habits, plans and independence.
In one study, a new daily habit took 66 days on average to form. That's why Egendi is built for months of small steps, not a single week.

FAQ
Parents plan it together with their child. Your child sees their day in the app, gets reminders and starts activities on their own.
