Stop fighting over screen time. Start rewarding good habits. Screeni turns screen time into something your kids actually earn, by doing real chores, verified by you. Set up schedules, assign tasks, and let the app handle enforcement. When time runs out, apps are blocked. When chores are done, time is earned. Simple. HOW IT WORKS 1. You set the rules: screen time windows, task rewards, rest breaks 2. Your child completes a chore and submits it 3. You approve from your phone; earned minutes are added instantly 4. When time runs out, selected apps are blocked at the system level No timers your kids can dismiss. No settings they can change. Real enforcement powered by Apple's FamilyControls framework. SMART SCHEDULES THAT THINK AHEAD Different rules for school days, weekends, holidays, and vacation, each with its own screen time window, daily limits, and bedtime. Friday night? Screeni knows tomorrow is Saturday and automatically gives tonight a weekend bedtime. Holiday on Wednesday? The night before adjusts too. Spring break? Set a date range with vacation rules. Screeni detects national holidays for the US, Mexico, and Brazil automatically. No manual overrides needed. REAL APP BLOCKING Select which apps and categories to manage. When time is up, they are truly blocked, not a suggestion kids can swipe away. Mark essentials like Messages or your family app as always allowed. Works even when the app is force quit. Shields are enforced at the system level by Apple's framework. TASKS AND REWARDS Create chores like Make your bed or Read for 20 minutes with a screen time reward you choose. Kids submit completed tasks with optional photo proof. You approve or deny from anywhere; earned minutes extend screen time automatically. Streak bonuses reward consistency: the more days in a row your child completes tasks, the more bonus time they earn. REST BREAKS Schedule offline breaks during the day: homework time, lunch, outdoor play. Breaks are tied to day types: a homework break on school days, but not weekends. Toggle any break on or off instantly. INSTANT CONTROL FROM YOUR PHONE - Pause all screen time instantly, for any child, for any reason - Add or remove bonus minutes with one tap - See each child's live status: active, on break, earning time, or done for the day - Dynamic Island shows remaining time as a live countdown - Home screen widgets for parents and kids - Approve tasks from notifications ONE APP, WHOLE FAMILY - Different schedules and rules per child - Invite a co-parent to manage together - Kids join with a simple 6-digit code, no Apple ID required - Set up in under 5 minutes WHY SCREENI INSTEAD OF APPLE'S SCREEN TIME?
