Dada turns screen time into a competition. Challenge your friends, partner or family to a Duel, put a reward on the line, and see who can spend less time on their phone. The rule is simple: Less screen time wins. Dinner is on the loser. Winner chooses the movie. Loser does the dishes. Set your own reward, start the Duel and let Dada keep score. CHALLENGE FRIENDS & FAMILY Create a Duel and invite someone you know. Choose how long you want to compete, decide what you’re playing for and start. Dada tracks your screen time and shows who is winning. • Challenge friends • Compete with your partner • Start family screen-time battles • Set your own rewards • Follow live standings • Get daily ranking updates • Build winning streaks • Settle once and for all who is actually addicted to their phone No complicated rules. Whoever spends less time scrolling wins. PUT SOMETHING ON THE LINE A Duel is more fun when winning actually means something. Agree on your own reward before you start: • Winner gets dinner • Loser makes breakfast • Winner chooses the weekend plan • Loser does the chores • Winner gets bragging rights • Create your own reward Dada keeps track. You two decide what victory is worth. YOUR DADA IS WATCHING TOO Every player has a living virtual brain. Read a book, take a walk, meditate, learn something new or simply stay away from endless feeds and Dada becomes stronger. Spend hours doomscrolling and Dada starts losing energy. Ignore it for too long and your virtual brain can die. So while you’re trying to beat your friends, you’re also trying to keep your own Dada alive. RAISE YOUR BRAIN Every Dada starts small. Better habits help it evolve through new stages: Caveman Brain → Curious Brain → Learning Brain → Wise Brain → Genius Brain → Legendary Brain How far yours gets depends on what you do when you’re not staring at your screen. DO MORE OFFLINE Screen time is only half the game. Help Dada grow through real-world activities: • Read books • Go for walks • Meditate • Visit museums and exhibitions • Watch meaningful films • Discover events nearby • Learn something new • Build healthy streaks • Capture your progress • Share achievements with friends COLLECT BRAIN NUTRIENTS Offline activities give Dada different nutrients: Focus Curiosity Wisdom Empathy Courage Imagination Joy What you do shapes what your Dada becomes. SCREEN TIME YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL Most screen-time apps give you charts. Dada gives you consequences. Scroll less and your brain grows. Scroll too much and it deteriorates. Challenge someone and suddenly putting your phone down becomes a game you actually want to win. DADA IS FREE — UNTIL IT DIES Download Dada, raise your brain and challenge your friends for free. But your choices matter. If Dada’s health reaches zero, bringing it back may require an in-app purchase. Challenge your friends. Beat your family. Scroll less. Win the Duel. Keep Dada alive.

Yunseul Time is a visual timer for family routines, set and operated by parents and caregivers. See remaining time together through gentle characters and color changes during meals, activity transitions, and bedtime preparation. “Come eat,” “last turn,” and “time for bed” can turn into the same reminder again and again. Yunseul Time helps you show the time before repeating the words. For a young child, stopping play can feel sudden. When you show “10 minutes until dinner,” the ending becomes something your child can see coming. Even before a child can read numbers, the soft cloud character and gentle color changes make the remaining time feel real. When children can see that play is almost done, they get a little time to get ready. Before meals, it gives play a landing instead of a cutoff. Before bed, it helps the last game wind down without another round of bargaining. You can point to the timer and prepare the next step together. When time is up, Yunseul Time ends gently instead of startling your child with a loud alarm. If real life shifts, you can quietly add or remove a minute, pause, or finish. Helpful when: - Dinner starts to become a negotiation - A playground or toy session is hard to stop - Bedtime needs a slower, quieter lead-in - Repeating the same reminder is wearing everyone out Yunseul Time has no ads. It uses limited anonymous product analytics to improve the app. Only when a parent allows tracking through Apple's prompt may Meta receive app activation and verified purchase information for advertising measurement; when tracking is not allowed, advertiser-ID collection and Meta standard events stay off. Settings stay on your device, and sticker records stay there by default. Sticker records sync through Apple iCloud only when a parent enables iCloud sticker sync or family sharing in settings. Low-stimulation animation, quiet sound, and vibration options help the timer fit your home. New families get a short first-use grace period. After that, one mealtime timer and one bedtime timer are free each day. Families who use Yunseul Time more often can open full daily access and premium character themes with a single lifetime purchase. No subscription; purchases can be restored with the original Apple Account.
