## What is BrainTokens?

Stop being the screen time villain. BrainTokens lets your child earn it.

Your child completes real math, reading, and phonics exercises — then their favorite apps unlock automatically. No arguing. No negotiating. No guilt. Just a kid who learned something and earned their time.

BrainTokens is the only app that combines real brain training with iOS-level app locking. Every other parental control just blocks. Every other educational app just teaches.
  
HOW IT WORKS
Your child picks a subject and completes a short exercise. When they earn enough tokens, they choose which apps to unlock and for how long. When the timer ends, apps lock again automatically. Parents set everything up once from the PIN-protected dashboard.

BRAIN TRAINING SUBJECTS
 - Math: Addition, subtraction, multiplication — adaptive to your child's level
 - Spelling: Hear a word, spell it out — builds real phonics skills
 - Reading Comprehension: Short passages with questions, leveled by age
 - Phonics: Letter sounds, blends, and patterns aligned to literacy research
 - Memory Match: Visual pattern and card-matching games
 - Word Scramble: Rearrange letters to build vocabulary
 - Sight Words: Dolch and Fry word sets for early readers
 - Telling Time: Analog clock reading for ages 5–8
 - Number Patterns: Sequences and logic for mathematical thinking

WHAT PARENTS GET
 - PIN-protected dashboard with daily progress and exercise history
 - Control over which apps your child can unlock and for how long
 - Daily streaks and achievement badges that keep kids motivated
 - No ads, no data sold, no child data ever leaves the device

FOR AGES 4–10
  Exercises adapt to your child's age and progress automatically. A 4-year-old gets picture-matching phonics. An 8-year-old gets
  multi-step math and reading comprehension.

  PRIVACY FIRST
  All progress data is stored locally on your device. No personal information about your child is ever collected, sold, or shared.
  COPPA-compliant. No ads. No trackers.

 Cancel any time in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.

  BUILT ON APPLE SCREEN TIME
  BrainTokens uses Apple's Family Controls framework — the same technology built into iOS Screen Time. When a timer expires, apps are shielded at the OS
  level. Your child cannot delete the app, switch off Screen Time, or find a workaround.
