Blocks is a fun, incentive based app that helps parents manage their children’s device screentime (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch).

Install Blocks on both the parent’s and the child’s device, follow the easy process to link them and you are ready to go!

Blocks provides the parent with features to define certain periods of time when their children should not use their device.

"Scheduled goals" can be used to setup scheduled timeouts like bedtime or study time. "Instant goals" can be used to provide an instant timeout for the child to take a break from the device.

When completing a goal the child earns “Blocks” - a virtual currency of the app. The amount of Blocks associated with each goal is defined by the parent.

To provide your child with the incentive to put aside their device the parent/guardian can create customized rewards - anything you and your child think is suitable. These rewards can be redeemed by your child after they have earned the necessary amount of the Blocks virtual currency.

Main Features:

- Remotely create instant goals for your child’s device
- Use schedules to create recurring goals for your child’s device
- Instantly know when your child accepts or declines goals
- Instantly know when your child fails to complete a goal
- Automatically block child’s device screen if the goal is accepted
- Instantly know if your child accesses his/her device before the blocking period is over
- Reward child with “Blocks,” a virtual in-app currency, for completing the assigned goals
- Create customized rewards that your child can redeem with his/her “blocks”

Blocks uses cloud-based features, meaning all functions occur in real time with an internet connection.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
