Screen time your kids earn — and a bank that actually enforces it. LimeTime turns screen time into a currency. Kids earn minutes by doing chores, keeping daily routines and reaching milestones, then spend those minutes on the apps you choose. When the balance runs out, the apps lock again. No arguing, no nagging — the rules are the same for everyone, and everyone can see them. A parental control app built around earning rather than punishing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your family bank and add each child. 2. Create contracts — chores, homework, reading — and what each one pays. 3. Your child does them, you approve, the minutes land in their balance. 4. They start a timer to spend time, and the blocked apps unlock. 5. Time runs out, the apps lock again. PUT IT ON THEIR DEVICE WITH A CODE No typing your own password into your child's phone. Settings gives you a six-character code that lasts fifteen minutes; they enter it on their device and it pairs. Every paired device is listed, and unpairing takes effect immediately. BLOCKING THAT HOLDS • Choose exactly which apps on your child's device should cost time • Built on Apple's own Screen Time, so the block holds • Parent mode is never blocked • A check card asks the phone whether the apps are blocked right now — instead of repeating what you set up THE DAILY PROMISE A short list of the things you simply expect every day. Until your child ticks it off and you approve it, the timer stays shut. Approving pays a bonus. Entirely optional. WORKS WITH TODOIST Already keep your family's to-dos in Todoist? Connect it and every chore carries a price in minutes. Each child gets their own Todoist project; tick a task off there and the time lands in their bank, with LimeTime closed. Award it in LimeTime and it ticks itself off in Todoist. Tasks you already keep can be brought in as a repeating chore for each child, and your original stays where it is. LimeTime is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Todoist. EARN, SAVE, SPEND • Contracts — chores and habits, priced in minutes • Milestones — longer goals, bigger rewards • The grove — a tree that grows on each visit and drops golden limes for extra minutes • Requests — your child asks, you approve or decline from your own phone EVERYONE CAN SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • A full statement: where every minute came from and went • A Sunday evening recap of the week, in your own timezone • Family chat, so the negotiating happens in one place BUILT FOR FAMILIES • Up to five children, each with their own avatar, colours and passcode • Two children on the free plan • Parent controls behind a PIN • In nine languages: English, Español, Português, Français, Deutsch, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文 SUBSCRIPTION LimeTime Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. The price is shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation, and it renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://limetime.app/privacy/
