EarnTime: Tasks to Play

Tired of screen-time battles and repeating the same requests every day? With EarnTime, your family gets one simple rule: Tasks unlock screen time. EarnTime turns kids’ interest in phones and tablets into motivation for useful everyday actions. Instead of negotiating over devices again and again, kids know exactly what they can do to get more time on the apps they enjoy. HOW EARNTIME WORKS 1. A parent creates a task and chooses a reward in minutes. 2. The child completes the task and marks it done. 3. The parent approves the result. 4. Minutes are added to the child’s screen-time balance. 5. The child uses earned time in apps selected by the parent. 6. Time is deducted based on actual use. When the balance reaches zero, access closes again. TASKS FOR EVERY AGE For younger kids, tasks can be simple everyday wins: • use the potty • brush their teeth • put toys away • get dressed independently • wash their hands before meals For older kids: • finish homework • read • exercise • tidy their room • help around the house • pack their school bag • get ready for the next day Parents can create any custom task and decide how many minutes each one is worth. FEWER REMINDERS EarnTime moves everyday negotiations out of the heat of the moment and into one clear rule. Kids can see: • what they need to do • how many minutes they can get • how much they have already earned • how much time they have left Parents spend less time repeating requests, bargaining over devices, and reminding kids what comes next. MORE INDEPENDENCE Kids can influence their own screen-time balance through their actions. Want to watch a video or play a game? Complete a useful task, get parent approval, and unlock more screen time. Screen time becomes more than a restriction. It becomes a clear reward for getting something done. A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE Effort → Result → Reward Do something useful. Get the result approved. Choose how to use what you earned. It gives kids an early, practical experience of making choices and taking responsibility for something they value. NOT PUNISHMENT. A CLEAR RULE. EarnTime is not built around shame, threats, or constant surveillance. Parents set the rules and choose the apps. Kids understand the conditions and know what they can do to unlock more screen time. Less arguing over devices. Fewer reminders. More independence. EarnTime — tasks unlock screen time. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
