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.
