BrainUnlock: Train Your Mind

Brain Training for Screen Time

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Does your child grab their phone the moment they wake up? BrainUnlock turns that impulse into something productive. BrainUnlock is a parental control app built around brain training — instead of just blocking your child's apps, it gives them a way to earn screen time by completing short cognitive exercises first. Every session sharpens real mental skills: working memory, focus, logical reasoning, and pattern recognition. HOW IT WORKS Your child completes five brain challenges per session — roughly 10 minutes. Research shows this duration is the sweet spot for meaningful cognitive growth, not just a token hurdle. First-timers get a quick one-sentence tutorial before each new game type, so there's no learning curve. Every game adapts continuously to your child's skill level: as they improve, the challenges get harder automatically. 9 BRAIN TRAINING GAMES • Memory Match — flip cards to find matching pairs • Math Sprint — solve equations against the clock • Word Puzzle — unscramble hidden words • Pattern Recognition — complete number and shape sequences • Focus Challenge — tap the right targets, avoid distractions • Logic Puzzles — true/false deductive reasoning • Sequence Memory — watch and repeat a growing color sequence • Color Stroop — tap the ink color, not what the word says • Reaction Time — hit the target the moment it appears WHAT PARENTS CONTROL (PRO) Manage everything from your own device after linking your child's phone or iPad with a 6-digit code: • Face ID / Touch ID to access parent settings instantly • Remote unlock with one tap — no need to be in the same room • Lock schedules, session length, daily screen time limits • Per-child difficulty caps and cooldown timers between sessions • Live progress dashboard with 7-day activity chart and skills breakdown • Push notification when your child earns time BUILT ON APPLE'S OFFICIAL TECHNOLOGY BrainUnlock uses Apple's Family Controls framework — the same technology behind Screen Time — so app blocking is reliable, tamper-resistant, and fully approved by Apple. MORE THAN SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT Because kids have to work before they play, BrainUnlock naturally builds habits that go beyond the app — practicing focus before fun, persistence through a hard problem, and the satisfaction of earning what they want. No ads. All 9 brain games are free — upgrade to BrainUnlock Pro for the full parent control layer. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
