How it works

  1. 1 Set the times As a parent you set the daily allowance per weekday – configured once.
  2. 2 Start it themselves Your child starts and pauses their screen time themselves, with one tap.
  3. 3 Save instead of lose Unused time goes to the flexi-time account – a credit your child spends freely.
  4. 4 Get notified When the allowance is reached, the alarm rings – even on a locked screen.

Instead of daily arguments, your child gets a clear time budget – and learns to manage it. Like a flexi-time account, it strengthens responsibility, self-determination and a mindful use of screen time.
