screenBRAINS gently pauses your kid's device for a quick quiz — then turns the misses into bite-sized lessons. You get the report card. They keep the fun.
But what is it actually?
Endless feeds are built to keep kids hooked. screenBRAINS steps in on a schedule you set: it gives a heads-up, pauses the device, and asks a few short, age-appropriate questions. Answer them and the device unlocks. Get one wrong? A 30-second lesson explains it — so screen time quietly turns into learning time.
It's a simple app that works with your device's built-in screen-time controls — no jailbreaking, no invasive tracking, and your child's data stays private.
How it works
Before a quiz starts, your kid gets a friendly countdown — so they're never yanked out of the middle of a game or video. No surprise lock-outs.
No ambushThe device pauses for a few short, age-appropriate questions across subjects you choose. Answer them and they're right back to what they were doing.
~60 secondsMid-boss-fight? Kids can skip and take the quiz later in the day. It stays fair and flexible — never a punishment, just a nudge.
Take it laterGot one wrong? A 30-second explainer teaches the concept right then, while it's fresh — turning every mistake into a tiny win.

We know you've got questions
It's an app that periodically pauses your child's device for a short, age-appropriate quiz. Answering unlocks the device again, wrong answers turn into quick micro-lessons, and you get daily, weekly, and monthly report cards on how they're doing. The goal: less mindless scrolling, more learning — without the screen-time fights.
No — that's the whole point. screenBRAINS always gives a friendly heads-up before a quiz so kids aren't pulled out of something mid-moment. If they're not ready, they can skip and take it later in the day. It's designed as a gentle nudge, not a lockdown.
Usually around a minute — just a few short questions. The idea is a quick mental check-in that fits naturally between activities, not a test that interrupts their whole day.
When a child answers a question incorrectly, screenBRAINS shows a 30-second explainer on that specific concept — right when it's most relevant. Over time, those small lessons add up to real understanding.
You'll see quizzes taken, subjects covered, accuracy, streaks, strengths and soft spots, and progress over time — summarized daily, weekly, and monthly. And if your kid is doing great, you can optionally share a clean, kid-safe summary — no full name or personal details, only what you choose to include.
screenBRAINS is an app built for the phones and tablets kids actually use. It uses the device's built-in screen-time controls to pause apps on a schedule you set — no jailbreaking, rooting, or sketchy workarounds. We're finalizing exactly which platforms launch first; join the waitlist and you'll help us prioritize and be first to know when it's ready for your device.
Yes — privacy is built in, not bolted on. Quiz activity and reports are visible only to you, the parent. We never sell or share your child's data, and we collect only what's needed to make the app work. Anything you choose to share is stripped of personal details first. We'll publish a plain-English privacy policy before launch so you know exactly how everything works.
We're designing screenBRAINS to adapt questions to your child's age and the subjects you care about. Exact ranges and subject options are being finalized — join the waitlist and you'll help shape them.
