Set fair limits that are hard to bypass, and let your kid earn extra screen time by doing tasks you assign — from homework and chores to sports practice, anything goes.

WHY BALANCE
Most screen time apps only restrict. Balance motivates. Your kid earns screen time by doing something useful, so limits stop feeling like punishment and start feeling like a fair deal.

• Screen time limits that work — easy for parents to set, hard for kids to bypass
• Tasks and rewards — parent sets tasks, kid earns screen time
• Three protection levels — up to maximum protection for tech-savvy kids
• Built for both parents — share full access and manage the family together

SCREEN TIME LIMITS
Set a daily screen time limit for your kid's device. When time runs out, entertainment is paused — apps you marked as unlimited keep working, so you never lose contact with your child.

APPS UNDER CONTROL
Sort every app on your kid's phone into three categories: unlimited (always available), limited (counts toward the daily limit), or blocked (never available). The built-in app blocker enforces your choice.

TASKS: KIDS EARN SCREEN TIME
Create any task your family needs, one-time or recurring, on any schedule — math practice on weekdays, room cleaning on Saturdays, pushups every evening. When your kid completes a task, extra screen time is added as a reward. Great for building habits that last.

TIME TO FOCUS: SCHEDULES
Pick the hours when only useful apps work: entertainment apps are blocked during homework, meals, or bedtime, on the schedule you choose.

REPORTS AND TRENDS
Track screen time and app usage across days and weeks. See what your kid actually does on their phone and how habits change over time.

HARD TO BYPASS
Balance is built to resist the tricks kids use to get around parental control apps. Choose one of three protection levels: the higher the level, the more device settings are locked. Maximum protection helps with tech-savvy kids and devices with permissive settings. Protection stays on until a parent turns it off.

HOW TO START
1. Install Balance on your phone and choose the Parent role.
2. Install Balance on your kid's phone and pair the devices.
3. Set limits, tasks, and schedules from your own phone.

PRIVACY FIRST
No ads. We never sell your family's data. Balance collects only what is needed to provide parental control, in line with COPPA and GDPR.

SUBSCRIPTION
Balance requires a subscription and new families get a free trial. Manage or cancel anytime in your Play Store settings.

PERMISSIONS
On the kid's device, Balance uses Accessibility, Usage Access, and Display-over-other-apps permissions solely to enforce the limits a parent sets. Each permission is explained in the app before it is requested.
