Applowance

Applowance turns chores into screen time your children earn. Parents create chores, children complete them, and the apps unlock — automatically. When the earned minutes run out, the apps lock again. Real iOS app blocking, not just a friendly reminder. THE APPLOWANCE PROMISE Every Screen Time feature is free for every child on your plan: real app blocking, scheduled blocking, multiple blocking profiles and timed sessions are never paid features. The free plan covers one parent and up to two children, with the chore-to-screen-time loop, cross-device sync and push notifications included. Premium adds family seats and extras — never Screen Time controls. HOW IT WORKS 1. Parent creates a chore like "Make bed" and sets a screen time reward in minutes. 2. A child marks it done on their device. The parent gets a push notification — approve or deny right from the lock screen. 3. Approved minutes are added to the child's balance. Apps unlock for the length of the session. When time runs out, everything locks again. Automatically. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - Up to 2 children, 1 parent account - Unlimited chores (one-time, daily, or weekly) - Real app blocking via iOS Screen Time APIs - Scheduled blocking and multiple blocking profiles - Timed screen time sessions with a visual countdown - 5-minute warning notification before sessions end - Cross-device sync across the whole family - Push notification approvals with Approve / Deny actions - Chore streaks, bonus time, and age-appropriate templates - Weekly summaries and usage reports - Custom shield screen on locked apps - Per-child PIN for shared devices WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Optional, for families who want more. Premium is $4.99/month or $49.99/year with a 14-day free trial; Lifetime is a one-time $99.99 purchase with the same features and no recurring charge. Both support Apple Family Sharing. - Unlimited children and unlimited parent or caregiver accounts - Custom rewards and a reward store your children redeem from - Allowance tracking alongside earned screen time - A family activity log of every approval, session, and redemption PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY - No advertising. No data sales. No tracking. - New first-party diagnostics require a signed-in parent with current consent; child and Demo sessions create none. Earlier beta reports may upload later; see the privacy policy for retention and deletion limits. - Children join anonymously — no email, no password, no profile photos. - Designed with COPPA in mind. Read the full privacy policy at applowance.app/privacy. DEVICE REQUIREMENTS Requires iOS 18.0 or later on iPhone or iPad. Real app blocking uses iOS Screen Time APIs. Blocking depends on Screen Time access remaining enabled and iOS monitoring; a child may revoke access or delete Applowance. QUESTIONS? Visit applowance.app or contact us at [email protected].
