For kids pre-K to 2nd grade

Screen time earnednot argued over

Screens can save a hectic afternoon and help young kids advance in academics and arts. The hard part is the handoff: when "five more minutes" turns into a negotiation, and the healthy routine you meant to keep gets hard to follow.

Our app is in active development, and we are looking for early adopter parents to help us build the best product.

Introducing your kids to devices

For parents who know screens can rescue a long afternoon, but do not want every handoff to become a tiny power struggle.

They keep asking for it

They understand the reward, but need help learning a healthy routine.

You are tired of being the timer

Nobody wants to be the bad guy. Let our app do the enforcement.

Shared family device

When an iPad or parent phone gets passed around, disable all the apps they shouldn't have access to.

Earn first

Concrete ways to unlock play time

The routine starts with positive actions parents want to encourage, then turns the reward into something easy to see.

1

Finish helpful chores

Their responsibilities count toward screen time, with clear benefit a young child can understand.

2

Use learning apps

Make math, phonics, or other approved learning apps the warm-up before games and videos.

3

Practice reading

If your child is already an early reader, you can add reading exercises. They will adapt to their level automatically.

How it works

From routine to reward

The core flow is simple: set the plan, let your child work through it, approve anything that needs a parent check, then let play time start and stop clearly.
