Install & set your PIN
Download Screentime Nanny, grant the required Android permissions, and create a parent PIN. Everything stays on your phone.

Rate apps & set chores
Mark apps as educational or entertainment. Add chores to the Quest Board with credit rewards your child can earn.

Kids earn credits
Learning apps and completed quests add credits to the wallet. Kids see their balance in the Play Zone.

Entertainment uses credits
When kids open entertainment apps, credits tick down. At zero, those apps lock until more credits are earned.

Tips for the first week
- • Start with generous credit rates so kids experience success early.
- • Review app ratings together — kids understand rules they help set.
- • Add 2–3 Quest Board chores before tightening entertainment limits.
- • Show kids the Play Zone color code: green = go, red = earn more.
