  • ✨Join in! Parents who participate create stronger family bonds

Questions Parents Ask

How do I manage screen time without daily battles?

Make the trade explicit. Screen Time Swap turns screen minutes into a currency kids earn through real-world activities — reading, chores, outside play. The negotiation disappears because the exchange rate was agreed on in advance.

What's a fair screen time exchange rate?

Many families start at one-to-one — 20 minutes of reading earns 20 minutes of screens — and adjust from there. The magic isn't the exact rate; it's that kids control their own earning, which ends the begging cycle.

Is Screen Time Swap free?

Free, no signup, no tracking — it's a family agreement tool, not a surveillance app. Everything stays on your device.
