Stop arguing over five more minutes.
Set clear school-day, weekend and bedtime limits. When your child gets extra time today, it automatically comes out of tomorrow — the rule holds itself, so you don't have to.
The App Store page for parents will be linked here at launch.
One rule everyone can understand
Extra time is allowed. It is never forgotten.
Set the family plan once
Pick a school-day allowance, a weekend allowance and protected bedtime hours. Apple's Screen Time system enforces it with real shields.
Your child asks in the app
Instead of wearing you down, they send a structured request — "I need 10 more minutes to finish something" — right from the limit screen.
You approve with the cost visible
The approval sheet shows exactly what happens: tomorrow 60 → 50 minutes. Approve, decline, or grant it from Flex — the math is always in the open.
Built for fairness, not surveillance
Guardian-protected settings
Child mode hides purchases and settings. Changing rules or leaving child mode requires the guardian's authentication.
The consequence is automatic
Approved extra minutes are deducted from tomorrow's allowance exactly once. No nagging, no renegotiation at bedtime.
Points and rewards
Optional, parent-controlled Points turn kept limits into rewards you define. Never money, never random. Part of Family Pro.
School day, weekend, bedtime
Different allowances for school days and weekends, plus protected bedtime hours where borrowing is refused entirely.
No remote spying
Time Debt works on the device you set it up on. No cloud dashboard, no message reading, no location tracking — a structure for fairness, not a spy tool.
Emergencies stay free
Emergency access removes every shield until tomorrow, free, every day. Safety is never behind a paywall.
Family Pro adds parent-protected profiles, requests, Points, rewards and weekly review tools on this device. See pricing — the App Store shows your localized price.
Questions parents ask
Does this monitor my child remotely?
No. Profiles, requests and Points stay on the device. Time Debt is designed to hold a fair rule, not to surveil. Privacy policy
What if my child genuinely needs more time for school?
They can request it with a reason, and you can approve it — including granting time that doesn't count against tomorrow. You stay the judge; the app keeps the ledger.
Can my child undo the rules?
Settings, purchases and exiting child mode are protected by guardian authentication. And in real emergencies, emergency access always works — free.
