Earn Time: Chores & Rewards

Instant Blocking That Actually Works

Unlike other parental controls, Earn Time blocks apps in real-time — even if your child closes the app. Changes you make as a parent are applied instantly on your child's device. No delays, no workarounds, no loopholes.

4 Layers of Protection
Your child can't bypass the block by force-quitting, turning off Wi-Fi, or restarting their phone. Earn Time keeps working in the background with multiple safety layers that ensure your rules are always enforced.

Earn Time turns screen time into motivation. Instead of fighting over devices, children earn minutes by completing real-world tasks — homework, chores, reading, sports, and more.

Works with any Apple ID — no Family Sharing setup or child account needed. Just install on the parent's and child's device, create a family, and you're ready to go.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Parents create tasks with minute rewards
2. Kids complete tasks and submit photo or voice proof
3. Parents approve with one tap
4. Screen time is added automatically
5. When time runs out, apps are blocked instantly
