Chaster Extension: Behave

Documentation for the Behave Chaster extension.

Overview#

Behave is a task-board extension for Chaster that works like a shared to‑do list between keyholder and wearer. The keyholder sets up columns and tasks; the wearer completes tasks on time—or faces automatic punishments.

Keyholder: Creates and edits the board (columns, tasks, due dates, punishments). You can configure the board before creating the lock (config page) and adjust it anytime from the main board.
Wearer: Sees their tasks, marks steps (if any), and completes tasks with the ✓ button. Late or missed tasks can trigger Add Time, Pillory, or Freeze Lock automatically.
Punishments: Each column has a default punishment (Add Time, Pillory, Freeze, or None). Individual tasks can use that default or override it. When a task fails or expires, the extension applies the chosen punishment via Chaster.

The board is private to each lock: one board per extension session. Keyholders get a Keyholder badge and full control; wearers get a Wearer badge and can only complete (and, if allowed, add/delete) tasks.

How to use#

Adding Behave to a lock#

When creating or editing a lock on Chaster, add the Behave extension.
Before creating the lock, open the Config page to set up your board (see Settings & options).
After the lock is created, both keyholder and wearer use the Main page to view and work with the board.

Keyholder flow#

Config (before lock): Set default column names, default punishment, and optionally add pre-set tasks. This is saved with the extension configuration so the board is ready when the lock starts.
Main board (after lock): Open the main page to see the live board. You can add or remove columns, add or edit tasks, drag tasks between columns, and open Settings for board name and timezone. If you use more than the free limits (e.g. more columns or tasks), you can start the 12‑hour free trial once per board or add a Premium token in Settings.
Wearer view: As keyholder you see the same board as the wearer; use it to assign and monitor tasks.

Wearer flow#

Open the extension’s Main page from your lock.
You’ll see the task board with columns and tasks. Your keyholder may have added steps (checklist) on some tasks—check those off first if required.
When a task is done, tap ✓ on the task card. If the task has a cooldown or repeat rules, the ✓ may be disabled until the next completion is allowed.
If your keyholder enabled it (Premium), you may be able to add tasks, set punishments, or delete tasks in certain columns.

Free tier vs Premium#

Free: Up to 3 columns and 6 tasks per column. No Chaster Tasks sync, no wearer permissions, no timezone selection.
12‑hour trial: Keyholders can activate a one‑time 12‑hour trial per board to try unlimited columns/tasks, Chaster Tasks sync, wearer permissions, and timezone. After the trial, the board reverts to free limits (extra columns/tasks stay but are disabled until Premium).
Premium: One premium token per board unlocks unlimited columns and tasks, Chaster Tasks sync, wearer add/punish/delete permissions, and timezone. Paste the token in Settings on the main board.

Settings & options#

Config page (before lock)#

Used when setting up the extension before the lock is created.

Option	Description
Columns	Add, edit, or remove columns. Each column has a name, color, and default punishment (Add Time, Pillory, Freeze, None). For Add Time/Pillory you set duration in minutes.

If you use more than 3 columns, more than 6 tasks per column, wearer permissions, or Chaster Tasks sync, a notice explains you’ll need a premium token (or the free trial) once the lock is active for those to work.
