Pickles vs Math Gate

Math for screen time. Pickles locks the apps you pick — Roblox, YouTube, anything — until your kid earns minutes by solving math. Right answers bank time; wrong ones earn nothing. Built by two parents tired of negotiating screen time. How it works — three steps, then it just runs: - Pick the apps to gate. - Hand the phone over: a round of problems at the level you set. - Each right answer is a minute. Banked minutes drain only while the gated apps are open. When the jar empties, they lock again. A math level for every grade, K–5. Set the grade and the operations (+, −, ×, ÷) — from adding within 10 to times tables and multi-digit ×/÷. Real problems, not flashcards: word problems, number bonds, ten-frames, number lines, the hundred chart, and more. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything runs on the device — no sign-in, no cloud, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. A 4-digit PIN gates parent settings; that's the whole account system. Blocking uses Apple's Family Controls, so even we can't see which apps you picked. Free. No subscription, no upsells, no in-app purchases. Just one device, one PIN, and Mr. Pickles.

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 solve a few quick, age-perfect math problems. Get them right, earn the time — and when it's up, the apps lock again automatically. Learning first, screen time second. Meet Cosmo! The friendly math penguin who turns practice into play and cheers kids on through every challenge. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE MATH GATE • 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 operation, daily streaks, most-missed facts, and reward badges. • Always age-perfect — five levels from age 5 to 13+, across addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. • Truly private — no ads, no trackers, no accounts, no data collection. Everything stays on your device. • Built for families — a separate profile, 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, pick the apps to lock, choose difficulty and reward time. Kids solve to unlock — Cosmo serves a short set of problems; correct answers earn the screen time. Time's up, math'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.
