About Joya Home
More screen time? Let them beat you.
Joya Home turns screen time into a game. Instead of haggling on the stairs, you challenge your kid: if they win, they win their minutes. If they lose, they get a forfeit. Not just rules and limits: we play together.
PARENT-VS-KID BATTLES
Seven quick live games, each on their own phone: rock paper scissors, Connect 4, Snake, quiz (plus your own home quiz), mental math, blitz chess and the knowledge duel. One rematch, then a decider if it's a tie. The forfeit becomes a photo mission. On Sunday night, the family finds out who is champion of the week.
SCHOOL THAT PAYS IN MINUTES
The weekly math test: 20 questions at their level. Their score turns into screen minutes. Times tables, dictation, vocabulary, general knowledge, logic: weak spots come back until they are mastered. A report every Sunday, badges and progress.
TIME IS EARNED, KEPT, REQUESTED
The time bank (earned minutes are kept for 7 days), photo missions, time requests and "5 more minutes?": yes or no in one tap. And sweet notes, full screen.
"DINNER!" AND BREAKS
One tap, and your message fills their whole screen, with your voice if you like. A countdown, then a break. You see who replies "Coming!". Not seen? The call comes back. Homework, dinner, bedtime: all can be scheduled. The family break, and the basket by the door: they put their phone on the NFC sticker, or scan the QR code. Calls and emergency numbers always stay open.
APPS AND THE WEB
• A daily limit and a limit per app.
• Time spent in each app, over 7 days.
• Every new app waits for your approval.
• Play Store purchases blocked.
• Adult websites filtered in common browsers, plus safe search.
• Names of websites visited (never pages or searches) and an alert for risky websites.
• Content alerts: a worrying word in their messaging apps (bullying, blackmail…)? An alert with only the sentence in question. 9 languages, slang included.
KNOW THEY'RE OK
The map with their location and battery, their trips, family places (arrivals and departures), the "Alert my parents" button. Location is off by default: you turn it on, and they know it.
EVERY FAMILY IS DIFFERENT
Two homes for separated parents, each with its own rules, one subscription. The other parent joins with a code. Sitters, grandparents: access for 12 hours at most. Visiting friends follow your rules, without being monitored. 9 languages.
NOTHING HIDDEN
Your kid sees in their app the exact list of what you can see, and a persistent notification reminds them. Never all their conversations, never their photos. No ads, no data selling. History erased after 30 days. Hosted in Europe.
HOW IT WORKS
Install Joya Home on your phone, and Joya Home Link (free) on your kid's phone. They join your home with a code or a QR code. With your approval, Joya Home Link asks for Android's accessibility service and device administration: this applies breaks and limits, and prevents uninstalling without you.
SUBSCRIPTION
Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial. The price depends on the number of children; all features are included, for both parents. Renews automatically, cancel anytime from Google Play. If you stop, your kid's phone is never locked.

What’s new

Each child's card now tells you when location is turned off on their iPhone, or when Joya Home Link isn't up to date, and what to do. On iPhone, the Activity screen explains why Apple sometimes doesn't show screen time.
