Tally - Earned Screen Time
End screen time battles.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Stop arguing about screen time.
Tally turns study time into screen time — automatically — so you don’t have to negotiate, enforce, or decide every time.
Instead of:
“Can I have screen time?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
It becomes:
“I’ve earned it.”
A Simple System That Replaces Daily Decisions
Tally introduces a clear exchange kids understand:
Study time → Screen time
Effort is tracked.
Access is earned.
The system handles the decision — not you.
No more constant back-and-forth.
No more guessing what’s fair.
No more being the bad guy.
Fewer Arguments. More Calm.
Screen time can be hard.
So are the constant decisions and negotiations around it.
Tally reduces that friction by making expectations visible and automatic.
Fewer arguments.
Less repetition.
More predictable routines.
Calmer evenings.
We call it your Serenity Score —
the more the system handles, the less you have to.
You Stay in Control
Tally doesn’t take control away — it simplifies it.
Set your own study-to-earn-reward duration.
Adjust anytime.
Adapt it to your family.
No rigid rules.
No one-size-fits-all limits.
You decide once.
Tally keeps it consistent.
Designed for Real Families
Tally isn’t about punishment or restriction.
It’s about fairness, clarity, and consistency.
Kids learn:
Effort leads to rewards.
Choices have visible outcomes.
Thinking for future me.
Parents get:
Less decision fatigue.
Less conflict.
More trust in the system.
Built on Apple Screen Time
Tally works with Apple’s Screen Time to manage access safely and privately.
No invasive monitoring.
No tracking or spying.
Just structure that works.

Tally requires Apple iCloud Family Sharing: the subscribing parent and each child device must be in the same iCloud Family group with subscription sharing enabled.
- Improved child onboarding when no Family Code is available yet: child devices can complete setup in Local Control mode first.
- Added a clear path to enable remote parent control later from Family & PIN on child devices.
- Fixed Setup Check state reporting so local-only devices are not incorrectly shown as already remotely linked.
- Added child connection personalization fields (child name + device name) when linking from Settings, so parent device lists display accurate labels.
- Added UI guidance that mode updates can take up to 60 seconds, with improved mode color consistency across controls.
