FAQ
No. Traditional limiters set a hard cap and block everything when time runs out. Earned uses a token economy: kids earn tokens by using productive apps (like educational tools) and spend tokens on entertainment apps. They learn to manage their screen time like a budget, not just hit a wall.
Earned works best for children aged 8-17. Younger children benefit from the visual token balance, while older teens appreciate the gift card rewards and independence. Parents can adjust earning/spending rates as their child matures.
Parents create rewards in the Token Shop, setting how many tokens each gift card costs. When your child earns enough tokens, they can redeem them for real gift cards from 2,500+ brands including Xbox, Spotify, Amazon, and Roblox. The gift card code is delivered directly within the app. Parents control which rewards are available and their token cost.
Absolutely. Earned only tracks which apps are used and for how long. We never collect message content, screenshots, keystrokes, browsing history, or any personal content from your child's device. All data is encrypted and stored securely on Firebase infrastructure. We follow a strict privacy-first approach.
Earned is currently available for Android devices. iOS support is on our roadmap. The parent app will be available on both platforms, but the child device agent requires Android due to the usage monitoring and enforcement capabilities needed.
Yes, Earned is free to download and use. The core token economy, earning/spending rules, and screen time management features are completely free. Gift card rewards are purchased by parents at face value with no markup.
Earned's balance is managed in the cloud, not on the device. Your child can't tamper with their token balance or bypass the enforcement. That said, we prefer gentle enforcement over invasive monitoring. The goal is to teach budgeting, not create an arms race.
