What's New in Parental Control

1.25

April 20, 2026

We're pleased to introduce templates (presets) for must-do and bonus tasks. As parents ourselves we find it may be hard to find suitable chores and moreover, put a reward in screentime minutes or stars. Therefore we have added the task bank allowing for a quick start and easy set up - try it out! In addition we've improved the selected avatar on the home screen and added a few bugfixes. We wish you a happy screentime!

Love it!

As a mom of two kids, ScreenTreat has been a game changer for our family. What I love most is that my kids have to complete their must-do tasks before their screen time unlocks. It’s helped so much with routines, homework, chores. The app makes parenting a little less stressful and motivates kids in a really smart way. Super easy to use and definitely worth it for busy parents!

Thanks for the great feedback! Really happy to help turn screentime into positive habits

Bad

I can’t get my child stars. It’s so annoying because you gotta do everything twice and whenever I blocked every app in Games, my child still could access all of her games.

Response from developer

Hi Theadora, sorry to hear about the issues. Our latest release now also is showing actual start balance in parent controls. As for accessing the blocked apps while must-do task are not completed or the time has expired - this is definitely not expected behavior. We have looked into it and could not replicate the same issue. If the problem still persist, please reach out to us hi@screentreat.app.

Practical and Easy

We researched several apps to block my child's iPad before completing chores. This is exactly what I was looking for and offers more than I was envisioning. It's relatively simple, can be managed from the parent's device, and works with screen time limits.

You're getting: 1) the ability to block the device (or selected apps) until must-do chores are completed, 2) control over total screen time use per day, 3) control over downtime, 4) the ability to lock down or completely allow the device at any point in time, 5) customization for the kid to earn extra time after completing bonus chores, and 6) great customer service!

I highly recommend this app if you're looking for any or all of this. Of course, you'll need to establish your own expectations and consequences for marking off chores when they haven't been completed, but unfortunately the app doesn't make that choice :)

Well done, ScreenTreat!

💖💖pretty good!!👌👌

I really love the supportive texts under the Screen Time counter, very supportive and gentle!! even when screen time is up!! I especially love that it's supportive of you earning screen time, since you *earned* it, that'll encourage you and make you proud of yourself!! instead of guilting you into using your screen time

Thank you for a great feedback! Indeed we believe future screen use is to be balanced with this positive mindset! Very happy you enjoy Screentreat ❤️

This is The One

I downloaded a bunch of these types of apps because the iOS restrictions just weren’t cutting it. ScreenTreat is the whole package. It doesn’t over-complicate anything, and it works.

- You choose which apps to limit.
- You choose the time limits (not just the “downtime” time windows)
- You can easily add/remove time on the fly.
- No subscription!
- So user friendly for kids and parents.

I have a degree in Behavioral Science and I’m a parent of two smart daughters. This is the tool I’ve been needing to make screen use workable for my family.
