Every family gets an AI coach — one that meets each kid exactly where they are and helps the whole family grow. Parents included. ChoreChomp isn't a chore chart with reminders. It's a coach. Kids finish a task — a quick tap for daily routines, a photo for the bigger jobs — and the coach looks at the actual work: warm, specific feedback on what they nailed and what to polish, tuned to their age. Little kids get cheerleading. Teens get honest. And every day, the coach writes YOU a short note that knows your family's week. YOUR DAILY COACH NOTE Three parts, thirty seconds: What's great — the win worth naming, with the number to prove it. Worth a look — only when something genuinely needs attention, never invented. How to encourage — one concrete thing to say to your kid today. Kids keep trying when someone notices; the coach makes sure you never miss the moment. HOMEWORK HELP THAT TEACHES (PRO) Snap up to six pages in one go — math, reading, science together. The coach sorts out which pages belong to which assignment, checks each one, and gives hints that guide thinking without giving answers away. Older kids get a real review: every error called out, and honest work gets honest credit. THE CHORES RUN THEMSELVES - Assign in seconds from a picture-card library of 150+ chores, or make your own. - Kids snap a photo; the coach reviews it instantly. Routines like brushing teeth are one tap. - You approve everything from one scrollable feed — points, streaks, and allowance follow automatically. - Morning and evening chores sort themselves by time of day, for kids and for you. MONEY SKILLS, BUILT IN Points become real money at a rate you set — and every allowance kid gets My Bank: a spending balance, a savings balance, and weekly interest that lands every Sunday. A growth chart shows what this week's savings become in a month, six months, a year — compound interest, made click-able. Kids decide what to save; you pay out however you already do (cash, Venmo, Cash App). ChoreChomp tracks every cent and never touches the money itself. WHY KIDS LOVE IT - Feedback that feels like a coach cheering them on — not a parent nagging. - Ages 4–7 get big picture cards, no reading required. Teens (13+) get a sleek, grown-up look. - Points, levels, daily streaks, and surprise mini-games after a job well done. - Watch savings grow with real weekly interest — money smarts before a first job. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT - The first look at every chore happens automatically. You just cheer and approve. - The daily note tells you who's on a roll, who tried something new, and when a high-five is due. - Turn any tablet into a shared Family Dashboard; invite a co-parent — one plan covers everyone. - Tune the coach per kid: age level, gentle or standard grading. BUILT TO BE SAFE - Parent approval at the center; a parent PIN protects the handoff. - Photos are screened for safe, chore-related content and deleted after review. - Parental consent and controls for younger kids. No ads, ever. TRY IT FREE Add a kid, assign a first chore, and watch the coach check a real photo — all before you subscribe. Plans start at $3.99/month with a two-week free trial.

Features

Screen time is earned. Barake is a parental control app that ends the nightly bargaining: your kid does their chores and passes their quizzes, you approve, and the minutes they earn unlock their apps. When the counter reaches zero, everything locks again — no stepping in, no reminding. HOW IT WORKS 1. You choose the apps to limit: whole categories (Games, Social media…) or specific apps. 2. Your kid earns minutes: with chores you approve in one tap, and with short quizzes that grade themselves. 3. The minutes unlock their apps. They use them whenever they like. At zero, the apps lock again. CHORES, WITHOUT THE NAGGING • A catalog of everyday tasks with suggested minutes: tidy your room, set the table, homework, reading… • You decide what each task is worth and which days it comes back. • A photo as proof, when you ask for one. • A notification when a task is waiting for you. Declined? Add a note about what's missing, and they send it again. • Gift minutes, no task needed, whenever you like. QUIZZES FOR MINUTES Short multiple-choice quizzes matched to your kid's age or grade, starting with math. A time limit per question, an explanation for every answer, and the minutes land as soon as they pass — nothing for you to check. Didn't pass? Another try later. YOU STAY IN CHARGE • A daily cap on the minutes they can earn. • A bedtime: after that, nothing unlocks until morning. • Apps that are always allowed: Phone, Messages, school apps. • A parent code protects the settings on their phone. • Follow everything from your own phone: minutes earned, used and left. On your kid's iPhone, Barake uses Apple's Screen Time, with your approval as the parent in Family Sharing. Setup takes about ten minutes, step by step. PRIVACY Barake blocks and unblocks apps; it never reads what your kid does in them. On iPhone, Apple doesn't even share the names of the chosen apps with Barake. No ads, no data sold, no tracking on your kid's phone. Task photos are deleted after 30 days. SUBSCRIPTION 7-day free trial, then a monthly or yearly subscription. One subscription covers all your kids. If the subscription stops, every block is lifted on your kid's phone: we don't lock a kid out over a payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://barake.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://barake.app/privacy
