Game for Time

Features
Read full description

Game for Time turns real-world chores into earned screen time. Instead of fighting over the phone, your child completes missions (tidy their room, homework, exercise) and earns tokens that turn into minutes of their favorite apps — with your approval. HOW IT WORKS 1. You create tasks and set how many tokens they're worth. 2. Your child completes them and sends a photo as proof. 3. You approve (or ask them to try again) from your phone. 4. You unlock the earned time and their apps become available. 5. When the time runs out, the apps lock again automatically. FOR YOUR CHILD IT'S A GAME - Characters that level up and evolve. - Streaks, badges and rewards. - A mission map, not a to-do list. FOR YOU IT'S SIMPLE, FULL CONTROL - You decide which apps are managed and how much time is earned. - Approval with photo proof. - Instant remote lock, whenever you want. - All from a clean, fast app. SAFE AND PRIVATE - Built on Apple's Screen Time controls. - You approve every reward; kids can't grant themselves time. - Designed with children's privacy as a priority. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION Game for Time is a subscription with a 7-day free trial, then a monthly or annual plan. Payment is charged to your Apple account; it auto-renews unless canceled at least 24h before the end of the period. Manage it in your Apple ID settings.
