Tofy turns your child's screen time into a learning game. Your child picks a world, answers curriculum questions, and earns minutes to play in the apps you approved — YouTube, games, whatever you choose. They learn without being reminded, and they have a real reason to solve one more. How it works • You choose which apps stay locked until your child earns time • Your child answers questions on a journey and walks away with minutes • The better they do, the more stars they collect and worlds they open • Tofy, a magical friend, is with them the whole way and cheers every win More than 20 worlds Math, reading comprehension, English, science, logic, geography, history, animals, space, the human body, flags, music, money and life skills, and more — from 1st through 8th grade, matched to each child's age and grade. What makes it different • Difficulty that adapts on its own, per child and per subject • Zero frustration — no red, no "wrong" • Surprise chests, answer streaks, mystery portals • Household chores: your child picks a reward, you approve it • A friends leaderboard, and a live quiz against friends • Four languages: English, עברית, Русский, العربية • No ads • Progress syncs securely across the family's devices Safety • The parent settings screen is protected by a 4-digit code • Uses Apple Screen Time for real blocking • Made for ages 4 and up — Tofy+ (auto-renewing subscription) • Monthly or yearly • The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you buy Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
