ScreenPlay Rewards
Read full descriptionHide full description
ScreenPlay is a family rewards app that transforms screen time from a daily battleground into a privilege kids genuinely earn. Children accumulate points by completing chores and demonstrating positive behaviors, then redeem those points for minutes on their favorite devices: PlayStation, iPad, TV, Computer, or Nintendo Switch. Parents set the rules: which tasks earn points, which behaviors result in deductions, how much each device costs per child, and whether balances carry over week to week. Kids log in on their own device, submit the tasks they completed each day, and watch their balance grow as parents approve submissions in real time. A built-in countdown timer enforces limits automatically, a family leaderboard sparks friendly sibling competition, and every element of the system is customizable to fit the way your family actually lives. ScreenPlay doesn't just manage screen time it teaches kids that effort has value, choices have consequences, and the things worth having are worth working for.

Emily

Emily keeps the links you meant to read. Save one from the share sheet and it's on your Mac before you put your phone down. Both apps open the same iCloud library. No account to create, no login. Every link shows where it came from. MAC or IPHONE appears next to the address, which answers "did that one make it to the other side?" without opening any sync screen. THE PRIVATE SPACE Some links are nobody else's business. Emily keeps those in a separate database, protected by Face ID, out of search, out of counts and out of every filter. A private save stores no title and no preview fetch. Asking a site for its preview image is a request that identifies that site, leaving your phone, at that moment, and a private link is usually exactly the thing you'd rather not ask about. The space relocks when you walk away from it. Private links can sync too, through a second iCloud container of their own, so the two libraries never mix. It's off until you turn it on. SAVE AND ORGANIZE - Save from any app through the share sheet, with an image of the page - One folder per link and as many tags as you like - Rename a folder from inside it. Rename a tag from any link that uses it - A note to remember why you saved it - Ten seconds to undo a delete
