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.
