Qrby: Screen Time Cards
Kids manage their own limits
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Give your child a stack of cards instead of a countdown they cannot see. They scan one, their apps unlock, and when the time is up everything locks again. No arguing.
Screen time your child manages themselves.
Qrby gives your child a small stack of physical cards. Each card is worth one session. They scan a card, their apps unlock, and when the time is up everything locks again, automatically, every time.
No more negotiating. No more being the one who has to take it away.
WHY CARDS
A number on a screen is abstract. Four cards on the kitchen table are not. Children understand "I have three cards left today" in a way they never understand a countdown they cannot see. The limit stops being your rule and starts being theirs.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set up once. Choose a parent PIN, pick which apps should be blocked, and decide how long a session lasts.
2. Print the six cards that come with Qrby. No printer? Cardless mode works the same way, with a button instead of a card.
3. Your child scans a card whenever they want screen time.
4. When the session ends, the apps you selected lock again on their own, even mid-game.
5. The cards reset at midnight, ready for tomorrow.
BUILT ON APPLE'S SCREEN TIME
Qrby blocks apps through Apple's own Screen Time system, so closing the app or restarting the device does not unlock anything. You choose exactly which apps are blocked, so messaging, school apps or anything else can stay reachable.
No Family Sharing needed. Qrby runs on your child's own iPhone or iPad, with no second device and no parent app.
