ScreenTreat helps families turn screen time into positive daily habits. Instead of constant battles, kids complete their must-do routines before unlocking their screen time. Children can also earn bonus screen time and special stars, which can be redeemed for real-world rewards. Meanwhile, parents stay in full control - tracking progress, adjusting limits instantly, and managing tasks and schedules directly from their phone. Make screen time work for your family, not against it. How It Works: Parents set must-do tasks (e.g., chores, hygiene, homework) for kids to unlock regular daily screen time. Kids can also earn extra time for completing bonus tasks. Parents set daily limits, bedtime, and other custom off-screen schedules, select apps to block, manage existing tasks, or create custom ones. 1. Install ScreenTreat: Download the app and select "kid" or "parent" device. 2. Pair parent and child device using QR code to enable family plan benefits and remote control (when applicable) 3. Set Up Parent Controls: allow screen time permissions, define screen time limits, assign daily tasks, and create bonus tasks for extra screen time. 4. Let Your Kids Complete Tasks: Kids unlock their screen time by finishing Must-Do tasks and can earn more by completing Bonus tasks. Start motivating your child by turning their chores into screen time rewards! Screentreat offers two paid subscription options 1. Single device plan. Key Features: - Unlimited Must-Do & Bonus Tasks: Kids earn screen time by completing required tasks, with bonus tasks for extra time. - Customizable Rewards: Tailor tasks and rewards based on your child’s needs. - Simple Parent Controls: Manage settings directly on your child’s device with a secure PIN code. - Make it your own: choose your wallpaper, avatar, and nickname - kids love it! - Block Unwanted Apps: Control which apps your child can access. 2.

Constant glitches requiring parental overrides, kids upset because they are locked out during their screentime. Constantly having to adjust bonus time or set to unlimited to allow kids to play, and often these adjustment don’t update due to huge lag or not at all. Extra time given on one day for that day, carries over to the next day, so kids end up with more time than you originally allowed. And there is no password on parental app, so if they know your phone password, they get straight in to the app and “hack” their screentime. Emailed developer months ago with list of issues/suggestions but no reply at all. This app combined with kids frustration is breaking my head. Good idea, poor execution. I’m so done with this. Better to just take the iPads away and have them cry for 5 minutes than deal with the constant nagging of “my screentime doesn’t work”. **Developer response:** Hi, I am really sorry about your experience with our product. I wanted to assure we are taking this feedback seriously. I would like to respond to your challenges in request here: - parent control functions and commands work instantly with max 1 min delay, unless the child's device is not online. Really sorry if you have experienced some glitches here - we would appreciate if you could reach out to our support channel via hi@screentreat.app and we will take a close look at the specific case. Really sorry if we missed the email - I have looked through our support email again and found no such requests in the past. I would really appreciate, if you could reach out again. - bonus time is intended to carry-over if the balance is not consumed the same day. We find it fair for the child to actual get what he/she earned, so the balance can be consumed next day after must-do tasks are completed. Having said that, for some families this is a valid feedback and we will take this into consideration with upcoming releases. Meanwhile our recommendation is to adjust the bonus time manually (negative adjustment possible) in case you feel your child had too much to carry-over. - Optional pin code on parent device. This is great idea and we have implemented this feature with our latest version release, which has been implemented already. I hope you will give one more try with Screentreat as we are constantly upgrading our product features and app performance. Best wishes, Ruta Co-founder @ Screentreat ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-21* 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! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! Really happy to help turn screentime into positive habits ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-13* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Practical and Easy *2025-08-22* 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! ### 5/5 — 💖💖pretty good!!👌👌 *2025-07-23* 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 **Developer response:** 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 ❤️ ### 5/5 — This is The One *2025-06-23* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for such a great feedback! We love to hear it from a parent with great experience in both theory and practice. We hope you will continue to enjoy the journey with Screentreat to turn screen time into positive motivation ### 5/5 — Brilliant way to balance screen time! *2025-03-29* Finally, an app that makes managing kids’ screen time easy and rewarding! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time—ScreenTreat encourages kids to complete daily tasks to earn screen minutes, turning screen management into a positive experience. Simple and effective. A must-have app for all parents! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, really happy to know Screentreat has such a positive effect! ### 5/5 — No more bad guy! *2025-01-04* Finally an easy way to manage screen time and using an app on the child’s device, so the app is the bad guy, not me! How many times do we tell our kids they can have 5 more minutes and then lose count and give our kids an extra 20?! Not any longer. This app also ensures they do their chores first and they can win bonus time. Bonus time is the best! This app is great for teaching both independence and time management to children. It’s definitely worth trying. **Developer response:** Thank you for a great feedback. The app is now a bad cop indeed:) ## Frequently asked questions about ScreenTreat ### How does ScreenTreat help manage screen time?

Fill in the rules such as must-do tasks (make the bed, wash your hands) as well as special conditions (no screens during dinner), print the doc and sign it (BOTH parties) - this will prevent the "oh did we really agree on this?" type of situations that happen sometimes. Happy screentiming! ### 1.31 — 2026-10-19 Weekly wrap - new addition for kids and parents to review the weekly tasks and achievements. Also a few new avatars landed in the app. Enjoy! ### 1.30 — 2026-10-12 Unlimited screen time mode can now be until the end of the day or until canceled, minor bugfixes ### 1.29 — 2026-10-02 Improved app performance and bugfixes related to time tracking issues and reliability ### 1.28 — 2026-09-28 Added a pin code for parent mode ## Apps similar to ScreenTreat | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Choreio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/choreio/id6472850397) | 3.1 (14) | Free | Education | | [Earn Screen Time: Kids Chores](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/earn-screen-time-kids-chores/id6757981439) | 3.2 (5) | Free | Education | | [Nudge: Chores and Screen Time](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nudge-chores-and-screen-time/id6550918174) | 5.0 (6) | Free | Education | | [Genie: Screen Time for Kids](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/genie-screen-time-for-kids/id6753701746) | 5.0 (12) | Free | Education | | [Parental Control: Carrots&Cake](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/parental-control-carrots-and-cake/id1589481560) | 2.2 (15) | Free | Education | | [Nick Academy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nick-academy/id1633078365) | 2.2 (5) | Free | Education | ## Related topics [tally screen time rewards](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/tally-screen-time-rewards) · [screen time control kids](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/screen-time-control-kids) · [ourpact](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ourpact) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
