Screen Smart vs Screen Patrol

Screen Smart is loved by parents because it: - Breaks the spell of your child’s screen addiction. - Makes children responsible of their screen time. - Builds knowledge in Math, Geography and Language based on parents and child interests. Our promise to Children - Help you take control of your screen time with a healthy balance of fun and meaningful learning. Our promise to parents - No more fighting over screen time. - A predictable and fair mechanism for your child to learn and be awarded with screen time. - You control subjects learned based on your child’s interests and needs. We created Screen Smart because we see screen addiction among children as one of the largest challenges of our time. We are parents ourselves, so we know exactly how difficult it is to avoid that children end up as screen zombies. We have kept the app simple to drive healthy educational breaks because we know that it works. Once you have passed the initial threshold to install Screen Smart on your child’s device, and explained to your child that they are now in control of their screen time, the reward is less arguing and you will notice that your child actually learns with our app. In contrast to many of the educational apps that exists, your child needs to use Screen Smart to gain screen time. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have ideas how we can improve Screen Smart. By downloading and sharing, you're contributing to reducing screen addiction among children around the world.

Screen Patrol helps families manage kids' screen time with less arguing, less negotiating, and more clarity. Instead of hearing “just five more minutes” over and over, children get bones that represent screen time. Parents decide how many minutes one bone is worth and how many bones each child receives. Kids can clearly see how much time they have and choose when to use it. That is the heart of Screen Patrol: turning screen time from a daily conflict into a clear family agreement. How it works: • Children receive bones every day or every week • Parents choose how many minutes one bone gives • The child feeds the dog to start screen time • When time is up, the dog barks • Parents can add tasks for bonus bones For parents: Screen Patrol gives parents a simple way to set fair, clear rules without constant pressure. You can adjust settings for each child separately, choose how many bones they get, set the time value of each bone, use a PIN, and plan automatic refills. Bones can refill daily or weekly, depending on what works best for your family. For kids: Kids always know how much time they have. They do not need to guess, negotiate, or wait for someone else to decide for them. When they want screen time, they feed the dog a bone and use their own time. Screen Patrol does not block apps or lock devices. It is not a control tool. It is a tool for agreement, independence, and calmer family routines. Screen Patrol is for families who want clearer screen time rules, fewer daily conflicts, and a system children can actually understand.
