Meet Junga, the science-backed app that unifies your child’s village. Junga brings parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists together to track your child’s journey - from learning to name and handle emotions, to showing leadership and maintaining composure, to recognizing and celebrating accomplishments. When children see that every adult in their life is using the same language and rewarding the same milestones, behavioral consistency skyrockets. That's why Junga helps: 1. Parents, grandparents, and other caregivers align routines and promote consistent expectations whether at home or during a sleepover 2. Educators quickly note and share behaviors during the school day 3. Therapists monitor consistency outside of their weekly sessions and provide real-time adjustments to behavioral plans By getting everyone involved in your child’s development on the same page, we turn everyday moments into a story that builds durable confidence. Junga does more than just manage routines; we connect the moments, feelings, and people that matter most to help you raise a confident, resilient child.

Screen time, finally on your terms. Math Gate turns "five more minutes!" into real learning. Before your kids can open the apps you choose, they answer a few quick, age-perfect questions in the subject you pick: math, reading, grammar, science or art. Get them right, earn the time — and when it's up, the apps lock again automatically. Learning first, screen time second. Meet the penguin crew! Five friendly guides turn practice into play and cheer kids on through every challenge: • Cosmo — Math: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division • Juno — Reading: stories, phonics, word meaning and inference • Quill — Grammar: parts of speech, punctuation and sentences • Nova — Science: living things, the human body, Earth, space and energy • Iris — Art: color, the elements of art, tools and artists WHY PARENTS CHOOSE MATH GATE • Five subjects, one app — pick a subject for each child and switch anytime. • You decide what's locked — any apps or whole categories. The lock holds even when Math Gate is closed. • Auto-unlock on your terms — set the reward time; apps re-lock when it runs out. • Real progress, at a glance — accuracy by topic, daily streaks, most-missed questions, and reward badges. • Always age-perfect — five levels from age 5 to 13+ in every subject. • Read it to me — kids can hear reading, grammar, science and art questions read aloud. • Truly private — no ads, no trackers, no accounts, no data collection. Everything stays on your device. • Built for families — a separate profile, subject, difficulty, and time limit for each child. • Parent-locked — your settings sit safely behind Face ID. HOW IT WORKS Set it up once — create a profile, choose a subject, pick the apps to lock, and set difficulty and reward time. Kids learn to unlock — their penguin guide serves a short set of questions; correct answers earn the screen time. Time's up, learning's back — apps re-lock on their own; a quick new challenge unlocks them again. Turn everyday screen time into a daily learning habit — without the nagging. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Math Gate is free to set up. Any plan unlocks all five subjects: • Weekly — $0.99/week • Monthly — $1.99/month • Lifetime — $19.99 one-time Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
