See how EarnTime helps families manage screen time with chore-based rewards
EarnTime is the screen time control app that motivates kids. Instead of arbitrary limits, children earn their screen time by completing tasks you set — homework, chores, reading, or anything your family values.
When earned screen time runs out, apps lock automatically using iOS Screen Time integration. No nagging, no negotiations — the parental control handles everything so you don't have to be the bad guy.
EarnTime gives parents full visibility into their child's screen time habits and task completion. See how much time was earned, how it was spent, and how your child's responsibility is growing week by week.
Designed for both parents and kids
Everything you need to know about EarnTime
EarnTime is one of the best screen time control apps for families on iOS. Unlike traditional parental control apps that just set limits, EarnTime motivates kids to earn their screen time by completing chores and tasks. Apps lock automatically when time runs out, making it a fair and effective system the whole family loves.
Parents create tasks with time rewards (e.g., "Clean your room = 30 minutes"). Kids complete the task, take a photo as proof, and submit it for approval. Once the parent approves, the earned minutes are added to the child's balance. The child opens the app, taps Play — and apps unlock for the session. It's a simple, motivating system that teaches responsibility.
Yes! EarnTime integrates with iOS Screen Time to provide full parental control over your child's device usage. When earned time runs out, apps automatically lock — no way for kids to bypass it. Parents can also set schedule slots (blocked hours, e.g. school time) for extra control over screen time habits.
Both apps are designed for families, but they reward kids differently. EarnTime rewards children with screen time — kids complete tasks to earn minutes on their devices, and apps lock automatically when time runs out. Kids Quest uses a star-based reward system where children earn stars and spend them on custom rewards you create. Choose EarnTime if screen time management is your priority, or Kids Quest for flexible, non-screen rewards.
