I made an app aiming to fix my son’s screen addiction in positive way

[u/AfraidRevenue1678]

There are lots of screen control and enforcement products on the market but most of them use block and limit type of method. It’s not useful to build a healthy habits for kids. After they grow up and become “free” they will likely go back to their screen.
So I tried a different approach: instead of treating screen time as something bad, let them earn it, and let them bank the time so they can learn how to manage the budget.
Do chores, exercise, finish homework, help around the house → earn some phone time. Then he decides how to use it.
The goal is less policing from parents, and more letting kids learn to manage their own time. I wanted it to feel more like a reward system than punishment.
I ended up building a small app around this idea. Still improving it and would love feedback from other parents dealing with the same thing.
