Built by a dad and his daughter.
Brave Powers began with a real family routine during a hard season. Mat built the first version. Nilsy helped turn it into something a kid would actually want to use.
Where it started
It started with a question.
Mat wanted Nilsy to know she could rely on herself. Not because she needed him less, but because keeping small promises builds trust in yourself.
They chose a small number of useful daily steps together. Nilsy could see what she had agreed to do, take ownership of it and recognise what she had done.
“Do you want Brave Powers today?”
That family routine became an offline app. It gives families a simple way to set daily steps without ads, tracking or children's accounts.
The team behind it
Mat and Nilsy built it together.

What the app should do
Kids deserve the credit
Brave Powers gives children a clear structure, but the effort and result are theirs.
Privacy is built in
The app works offline, children do not need accounts, and there are no ads or tracking.
Missed days are part of it
The app records a missed day without shame or a threat to lose a streak. Families can start again the next day.
Android launches first
