Stop arguing about screen time. Tally turns study time into screen time — automatically — so you don’t have to negotiate, enforce, or decide every time. Instead of: “Can I have screen time?” “No.” “Why not?” It becomes: “I’ve earned it.” A Simple System That Replaces Daily Decisions Tally introduces a clear exchange kids understand: Study time → Screen time Effort is tracked. Access is earned. The system handles the decision — not you. No more constant back-and-forth. No more guessing what’s fair. No more being the bad guy. Fewer Arguments. More Calm. Screen time can be hard. So are the constant decisions and negotiations around it. Tally reduces that friction by making expectations visible and automatic. Fewer arguments. Less repetition. More predictable routines. Calmer evenings. We call it your Serenity Score — the more the system handles, the less you have to. You Stay in Control Tally doesn’t take control away — it simplifies it. Set your own study-to-earn-reward duration. Adjust anytime. Adapt it to your family. No rigid rules. No one-size-fits-all limits. You decide once. Tally keeps it consistent. Designed for Real Families Tally isn’t about punishment or restriction. It’s about fairness, clarity, and consistency. Kids learn: Effort leads to rewards. Choices have visible outcomes. Thinking for future me. Parents get: Less decision fatigue. Less conflict. More trust in the system. Built on Apple Screen Time Tally works with Apple’s Screen Time to manage access safely and privately. No invasive monitoring. No tracking or spying. Just structure that works. Get Started Set your study-to-screen rules and try it tonight. Tally requires Apple iCloud Family Sharing: the subscribing parent and each child device must be in the same iCloud Family group with subscription sharing enabled.
