Turn screen time into something kids can earn—not something parents fight about every day. EarnPlay uses Apple's Family Controls to lock parent-selected apps (YouTube, Minecraft, games, and more) until your child completes short learning games. Mix letter names, beginning sounds, reading words, Make 10, age-banded maths (5–10), and geography (continents and capitals), in English or Spanish. Pass, and earned play minutes unlock. When time runs out, apps lock again automatically. LEARN A LITTLE. PLAY A LITTLE. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE EARNPLAY • Positive incentives instead of endless "no" • Real technical enforcement—not an honor system • You pick exactly which apps require earned time • You choose which games are on, and how many misses are allowed • Auto-relock when the timer ends—no manual policing • Parent settings behind Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode HOW IT WORKS 1. Install on your child's iPhone or iPad (iOS 17+) 2. Approve Family Controls when iOS prompts 3. Select gated apps with Apple's Family Activity picker 4. Enable the exercises you want and set minutes granted 5.

Shields appear on gated apps. A monitor extension re-applies protection when earned time expires, even if EarnPlay isn't open. PRIVACY FIRST • Core loop works fully offline • No child accounts or sign-up • No ads and no tracking • Quiz progress and timers stay on the device • Optional iCloud sharing is only used if you share a child profile with a parent companion REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later on iPhone or iPad • Child Apple ID in Family Sharing (child device mode) • Family Controls authorization during setup • Microphone optional—tap answers always available PERFECT FOR FAMILIES WHO WANT • Minecraft or Roblox time earned with learning • YouTube minutes after a short quiz • A calmer alternative to daily screen-time battles • Screen Time limits with a positive twist Download EarnPlay and replace "because I said so" with "earn it first."
