Screen Time Math Challenge
Turn screen time into a healthy learning habit.
Screen Time Math Challenge helps families replace screen time battles with a simple, positive routine: learning first, play second.
Before kids can access games or other selected apps, they complete a short set of age-appropriate math problems. Parents stay fully in control — choosing which apps are blocked, setting math goals and difficulty, and deciding how screen time is unlocked.
The result
Less arguing. More structure. Better habits.
How It Works
Choose what’s blocked
Parents select specific apps or entire categories (Games, Social, Video, and more) to lock using Apple’s built-in Screen Time controls.
Set a math goal
Choose how many correct answers your child must complete to unlock screen time.
Manual Shield (Free Preview Available)
Parents can manually lock and unlock apps to experience how the Shield works before subscribing.
Schedule Screen Time (Subscription Required)
Create clear weekday and weekend schedules for:
Bedtime
Homework / Focus time
Interval Lock (Subscription Required) periodically relocks apps (every 1–24 hours) and encourages kids to complete math before continuing.
Kids solve math problems
Children use a friendly, animated number pad to answer quick math problems.
Progress unlocks play
Correct answers move the progress bar forward. Once the goal is reached, selected apps unlock automatically.
Incorrect answers move the progress bar back.
