YOUR CHILD DESERVES BETTER SCREEN TIME. SO DO YOU. Grogo is the only app that makes screen time BETTER. Instead of blocking access and pitting you against your child, Grogo interrupts the mindless scrolling with short, brain-boosting questions your child answers to earn their way back to their apps — covering core subjects PLUS the financial literacy and civic life schools skip and no other kids' app teaches. Less conflict. More learning. Happier kids. SIMPLE SETUP ON YOUR CHILD'S DEVICE 1. Download Grogo on your child's device and create your parent account. No second device needed 2. Set their grade level and subjects to answer: Financial Literacy and Civic Life plus Math, Science, History, English, and Pop Culture 3. Choose the apps you want Grogo to interrupt and how often (every 15, 30, or 45 minutes). That's it. Grogo handles the rest. Optional: You can download and sign into Grogo on your device later to access your parent dashboard and adjust settings remotely. HOW GROGO WORKS When it's time for a break, Grogo temporarily locks the apps you selected. Your child answers grade-appropriate multiple-choice questions to earn their way back. That’s the whole idea: learning as the key, not punishment. They get a heads-up 5 minutes before each break, so they're never caught off guard. And Grogo constantly adapts the difficulty based on their answer patterns. Always challenging. Never punishing. WHAT MAKES GROGO DIFFERENT Other apps restrict. Grogo improves. Grogo is the only app that combines timed screen interruption, adaptive microlearning, and kid-friendly design. Kids learn and earn back their access, building confidence and self-esteem. And Grogo is the only app teaching kids both financial literacy and civic life. Parental control apps ignore them. Schools barely touch them. Grogo makes them part of daily screen time. THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT Short learning sessions spaced throughout the day — microlearning — can improve retention by up to 200%. Grogo's 1-2 minute breaks are what cognitive scientists say leads to lasting memory. And simply interrupting the constant scrolling improves children's behavior, focus, and emotional wellbeing.

Your dashboard tracks their progress by subject, showing changes in the grade level of questions they're answering.

Your child learns them during screen time, automatically. • New kid-friendly design and gamified question formats — drag-and-drop, sliders, toggles, and "Did You Know?" cards with rich animations and sound. Kids actually enjoy earning their way back to their apps. • Redesigned parent dashboard —See progress by subject and grade level. • Easy sign in with Apple and Google • Charter pricing — lock in special introductory rates before they're gone • Bug fixes for break timing, app selection, subscription status, and “snack breaks” Grogo is the only app that combines timed screen interruption, adaptive microlearning, and kid-friendly design — all in one.
