Screen Deal

Turn reading, practicing, and chores into earned playtime.

Screen Deal is a family app for parents. Kids earn video game time by doing real-world tasks like reading, piano practice, homework, and chores. You log a completed task, Screen Deal converts it into playtime minutes using exchange ratios you control, and the earned time lands in each kid's time bank. When it's time to play, you start a live countdown that drains it. The whole family sees the same fair, transparent scoreboard. No more negotiating.

Fair, configurable deals

Every activity has its own exchange rate that you control. 30 minutes of reading can earn 15 minutes of game time, or piano practice a flat 20. Bonus streaks reward doing the same activity several days in a row.

Live countdown everywhere

A running play session shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with "5 minutes left" and "time's up" notifications so nobody has to watch the clock.

A transparent ledger

Every earned and spent minute is logged and visible to the whole family, so there are no arguments about who earned what.
