Tenara: Calmer Screen Time

Every day ends the same way. You say stop. Your child says
five more minutes. You say stop again. They push back. What
started as screen time becomes a negotiation, then a standoff,
then a ruined mood for everyone in the room.

Tenara ends that loop.

When session time is up, your child doesn't hear you say stop.
They watch a friendly character wave goodbye, hear a soft
melody, and see the screen gently close. The session ends by
itself. You didn't have to say a word.

No standoff. No negotiation. Just a quieter rest of the evening
at home.

You're still in the room. Still present. Just no longer on
duty.


— The app ends the session, so you don't have to. —

Tenara plays a goodbye sequence when time is up — the screen
fades, a character waves, a soft melody plays. Children follow
the character instead of resisting the ending. The hard moment
happens by itself.

Gentle doesn't mean loose. You still set the limit. Tenara just
helps the limit happen without a fight.


— Distance reminders that don't need you to say anything. —

The front camera is used to estimate how close your child is
sitting to the screen, in real time. When they're too close,
gentle reminders appear gradually until your child moves back.
You can record reminders in your own voice, so your child
hears you instead of a robotic alert.


— Set the boundary once. It enforces itself. —

Choose how long before handing over the phone. When time is
up, the goodbye sequence plays automatically. The boundary
you set happens without you having to hold it in the moment.

Tenara is built specifically for children ages 2 to 6 —
toddlers and preschoolers learning to transition from screens
to other activities.

sequence and distance reminders included at every tier.

Privacy: The front camera is used only to estimate distance in
real time. Distance detection happens on the device. Tenara

account and doesn't sell data to third parties.


Perfect is a myth. Caring is real.
