## Description

ScreenTime Nanny — turn screen time into a reward.<br><br>ScreenTime Nanny is a parental-control app that helps families build healthy screen-time habits. Kids EARN credits by using educational apps or completing parent-set quests, and SPEND those credits on entertainment apps. Parents stay in control with per-app ratings, schedules, limits, and reports.<br><br>WHAT PARENTS CAN DO<br>• Rate each app — educational apps earn credits per minute, entertainment apps cost credits per minute.<br>• Create quests and chores the child completes for credits (with parent approval).<br>• Set School Mode and Bedtime windows that lock entertainment apps.<br>• Choose Always-Allowed apps that always work (e.g. Phone, Messages).<br>• Offer real-world rewards in the Cash-Out shop.<br>• See screen-time and credit-balance reports.<br><br>FOR KIDS<br>A simple Play Zone that shows their credit balance, their apps, quests to earn more credits, and rewards to cash out.<br><br>USE OF THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE (please read)<br>ScreenTime Nanny uses Android&#39;s Accessibility Service for one core parental-control purpose: to stop the app&#39;s protections from being turned off or removed by the child.<br><br>When the child opens the system Settings or the Android app-installer screens and tries to UNINSTALL, FORCE-STOP, CLEAR DATA for, or DEACTIVATE the device-administrator permission of ScreenTime Nanny, the Accessibility Service detects that specific screen and returns the device to the Home screen, then opens the parent PIN screen. This keeps the screen-time limits and app blocks that the parent set from being bypassed by a child.<br><br>The Accessibility Service only inspects the system Settings and package-installer screens for this anti-tampering purpose. It does NOT read, collect, store, log, or transmit the contents of any screen, and it sends no data off the device. A parent can always remove the app themselves from Security → Allow Uninstall, which is protected by the parent PIN.<br><br>This use of the Accessibility Service is essential to the app&#39;s core function as a parental-control tool and is disclosed here in accordance with Google Play policy.<br><br>Privacy policy: https://screentimenanny.us/privacy/
