HOW PEEP WORKS: 1. Set the chores and tasks you want done 2. Your kid completes them 3. Screen time unlocks, automatically If you're tired of policing screens, Peep turns the daily fight into something your kid earns instead of something you ration. We aren't another screen time blocker. Blockers just lock the door and leave you to enforce it. Peep hands your kid the key and lets them earn it, which builds something a blocker never will: self-control. It works because there are no shortcuts. Your kid has to do the real thing first. You stop nagging, and they stop seeing screen time as something they're owed. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at info@getpeep.app. NOTE: Peep supports your parenting, it doesn't replace it. You set the rules, approve the tasks, and stay in control of what counts. Peep uses Apple Screen Time controls to enforce limits, so when time's up, it's actually up. Peep requires a subscription to use. Terms of Use: https://getpeep.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getpeep.app/privacy
