Grogo: Healthier Screen Time
Real learning pauses for kids
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pause the scroll. Power up the mind.
What matters most is not how much screen time kids get, but whether that time makes them smarter and healthier. Grogo interrupts endless scrolling with short, brain-boosting questions your child answers to earn their apps back.
Two-time NAPPA Award winner. 2026 Best App for Kids. 2025 Best App for Learning.
WHY GROGO IS DIFFERENT
Grogo sets the standard for productive pauses. It is the only app that combines timed screen interruption, adaptive microlearning, and kid-friendly design in one. Patent-pending.
And Grogo is the only app teaching kids both Financial Literacy and Civic Life. Parental control apps ignore them. Schools barely touch them. Grogo makes them part of daily screen time.
You choose which apps get interrupted, how often, and what your child studies. Setup takes minutes, right on your child's device. Less conflict. More learning. Happier kids.
HOW GROGO WORKS
• Your child gets a 5-minute heads-up before every break, so they are never caught off guard.
• When the break starts, Grogo pauses only the apps you selected.
• You decide what stays available, and you can set phone, messages, and emergency services so they are never interrupted.
• Your child answers a short set of grade-appropriate questions to unlock their apps until the next break.
• More than 30,000 questions, verified for accuracy and grade-appropriateness.
• Pause Grogo any time for homework or dinner and leave school apps out of it entirely.
BUILT FOR GRADES 2 THROUGH 12
Set your child's starting grade and pick their subjects: Financial Literacy and Civic Life, plus Math, Science, History, English, and Pop Culture. Difficulty adapts up or down by subject based on how they answer. Always challenging, never punishing.
THE SCIENCE
Short sessions spaced through the day, known as microlearning, build lasting memory far better than cramming. And research links interrupting continuous scrolling to better behavior, focus, and emotional wellbeing in children.
IT WORKS, AND KIDS ACTUALLY LIKE IT
"It's non-punitive, engaging and designed to build both knowledge and confidence." Beth Anderson, Educator and CEO, Core Learning Foundation
"Grogo not only helps your child get extra learning, it improves their self-esteem and helps them develop better screen habits." Tom Kersting, Psychotherapist, Author of Raising Healthy Teenagers
"This app just changed my whole life. I like EVERYTHING!" Henry, 3rd grade
