Emetli

Learn first, then play

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Stop fighting over screen time. Your child's games and apps unlock after reading, STEM articles or math games: one minute of learning, one minute of play. Learn first, then play. Emetli keeps the apps you choose locked until your child learns. Every minute of reading adds a minute of play, and that time is only spent while those apps are actually in use. When it runs out, the apps lock again. No arguing, no timers to watch. WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS • Books that open like real books, with painted covers, picked for your child's age. • STEM: fifteen math games, from counting and fractions to shapes, time and angles, plus short science articles by topic. • Short swipe-up videos that teach a second language. WHAT YOU CONTROL • Pick the apps and games to lock, using Apple's Screen Time. • Set the daily minimum of learning that comes before play. • Change it anytime from the parent area, protected by your PIN. Pip, our friendly guard, stands in front of the locked apps and shows your child how much learning is left for today. PRIVACY FIRST • No ads, no accounts for kids, nothing to buy. • The list of apps you lock never leaves the device. • Anonymous usage statistics (no advertising IDs) help us fix and improve the app. You can turn them off anytime; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland they stay off unless you turn them on. Emetli is free for iPhone and iPad with iOS 17.4 or later. A parent grants Screen Time access during setup.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Clearer setup: the first card now says "Pick the apps to lock. Learning opens them.", and the daily goal calls its third tile "Language videos". • A smaller download: the math games' pictures take much less space. • A refreshed App Store page with Pip. Still in 1.1: fifteen math games on the STEM tab, Books with an editors' pick, offline downloads and the Me tab.
