ScreenTreat is an iOS app to turn ScreenTime into positive motivation for kids. Parents are to set custom must-do and bonus tasks for their kids to complete before screentime is unlocked. This is a single device option with parent mode. App is free of charge
We've been trying different motivational schemes for our 10 & 8 y.o. kids. Yet we failed, as our offline "Plus" dashboard on the fridge turned out to be ineffective - both us and kids did forget to fill in, there were no instant gratification and ultimately it became more of routine rather than something exciting for the kids.
We had to figure out something else and noticed taking away their iPad or reducing time limit was very effective and got their attention right back. Nowadays screentime is the most precious currency for kids and we are on mission to turn it into positive motivation.
We did lots of market researched with our peers Dads and Mums and decided to create ScreenTreat, a mobile app which enables parents to set limits, select apps to block and customize tasks for the kids. While testing on our own, we noticed there is a positive shift in behavior - kids would get a clear list of what needs to be achieved and are eager to accomplish those tasks without a second ask. Would be interesting to know your experience and share insights after trying out our product.
Our current version is completely free, built for single iOS device only. We are on our way to build remote and Android versions as we speak, would be great to connect and keeping in touch on our launch process.
