BrainTokens vs Math Break (Earn Time)

Stop being the screen time villain. BrainTokens lets your child earn it. Your child completes real math, reading, phonics, and coding exercises — then their favorite apps unlock automatically. No arguing. No negotiating. No guilt. Just a kid who learned something and earned their time. BrainTokens is the only app that combines real brain training with iOS-level app locking. Every other parental control just blocks. Every other educational app just teaches. HOW IT WORKS Your child picks a module and completes a short exercise. When they earn enough tokens, they choose which apps to unlock and for how long. When the timer ends, apps lock again automatically. Parents set everything up once from the PIN-protected dashboard. 13 MODULES Learning modules - Math: From first sums to times tables and long division — adapts to your child's level - Spelling: Hear a word, spell it out — phonics patterns aligned to UFLI Foundations - Reading: Short leveled passages with comprehension questions - Sight Words: Dolch word lists for early readers - Code Path (NEW): Coding puzzles with arrows instead of typed code. Plan a program, press Go, then find and fix the bug.

Math Break helps families make screen time feel earned, clear, and a little more fun. Parents choose which apps are part of the routine, set the math difficulty, and decide how many minutes a correct answer earns. When a child reaches a paused app, Math Break gives them a simple path forward: answer a short math question and earn a focused window of screen time. Built for real family rhythms: Parent-managed app controls Adjustable math difficulty and reward minutes Cooldowns after earned breaks Practice history and parent progress updates A child-friendly flow with clear next steps Math Break is not meant to make math feel like a punishment. It is designed to make the tradeoff visible: a little practice, then a little earned time. Math Break uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks with parent permission. Children do not need their own account.
