How it works

Three steps to fair screen time

No nagging, no bargaining. Just a simple loop kids actually enjoy.

1

Finish a task

Parents set chores worth minutes. Kids do them and snap a photo as proof.

2

Earn minutes

Approve with one tap and the earned time lands straight in their balance.

3

Unlock play

Kids tap Play and apps open. When the time runs out, everything locks — automatically.

Everything you need

Real parental control, done kindly

Automatic app blocking

Apps lock the moment earned time ends — powered by iOS Screen Time, no willpower required.

Approve & gift in one tap

Reward a great day with bonus minutes, or block everything instantly — right from your phone.

Schedules for school & sleep

Set slots where apps stay blocked no matter the balance — school hours, bedtime, dinner.

Private iCloud sync

Everything syncs across family devices through iCloud. No ads, no trackers, no data collection.
