About ACT+EARN: Kids Screen Time
If your kids fight you over every minute of screen time, ACT+EARN flips the script. Kids earn device access by completing real tasks — chores, homework, outdoor time, reading. No negotiations. No meltdowns. Just a simple deal: do the work, earn the play. HOW IT WORKS: You Set the Tasks — Chores, homework, outdoor time, reading, or community service Kids Complete & Check Off — Photo verification keeps everyone honest Device Time Unlocked — Earned access builds responsibility and healthy habits KEY FEATURES: Task Assignment — Create age-appropriate tasks with custom point values Photo Verification — Kids submit photos proving task completion Points-Based Rewards — Earn points to redeem for screen time or custom rewards Real iOS Integration — Built on Apple's Screen Time API, not workarounds kids can bypass Custom Rewards — Beyond screen time: allowance, outings, privileges Family Sync — Real-time updates across all family devices Quick Child Login — Face ID / Touch ID for easy access 200+ Ready-Made Tasks — Or create your own. Works for ages 6-16. WHY ACT+EARN IS DIFFERENT: Most screen time apps just set limits. ACT+EARN connects limits to action. Your child doesn't just get blocked — they have a clear path to earning more time. That shift from "no" to "not yet, here's how" changes everything about how kids respond. And unlike apps that use VPNs or configuration profiles that tech-savvy kids can disable, ACT+EARN is built directly on Apple's Screen Time API. Real enforcement, not a workaround. BUILT FOR FAMILIES: We built ACT+EARN because we were tired of screen time fights with our own kids. Every parent knows the drill: you set a limit, the timer goes off, and suddenly you're the villain. We wanted a system where the rules aren't coming from us — they're built into the app. Our kids understood it immediately. Yours will too. PRIVACY-FOCUSED: Minimal data collection, full encryption, and strict access controls. Built by a cybersecurity professional with 25+ years of experience. Your family's data stays protected — always. Parent Designed. Child Inspired. SUBSCRIPTION INFO: ACT+EARN offers a Family subscription with two options: - Monthly: $4.99/month - Annual: $39.99/year (save 33%) Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings.
