## What is Earned?

Every unlock begins with a commitment.

Earned helps you break the scroll-first habit. Before you open the apps you love, you do something that matters — wash the dishes, read, work out, study — and only then earn a limited window of screen time.

HOW IT WORKS

1. DECLARE A TASK
Choose from dozens of built-in tasks across chores, wellness, learning, creativity, and more — or create your own with Earned Pro.

2. SET A TIMER
Pick how long you'll focus. The timer cannot be paused or skipped. Your selected apps stay locked until time is up.

3. EARN YOUR APPS
When the timer ends, you unlock a scroll window — screen time you've actually earned. When it's over, apps lock again until your next task.

WHY EARNED IS DIFFERENT

• Commitment-first — scrolling is the reward, not the default
• No pause, no override — the timer runs until it's done
• Real tasks, real streaks — build momentum day after day
• Uses Apple's Screen Time APIs — locking happens on your device
• Widgets & Live Activities — see your timer and progress at a glance

FREE INCLUDES

• Lock up to 3 apps
• 1 app folder
• Full task library
• Streak tracking
• Scroll window after each completed task

EARNED PRO

• Unlimited app locking
• Unlimited app folders
• Custom tasks & durations
• Schedule tasks ahead of time
• Full insights & streak history
• Custom scroll window length

PRIVACY

Earned uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls frameworks to lock and unlock apps on your device. We do not sell your data. Screen Time usage data stays on your device.
