What ScreenCoach is
ScreenCoach is a paid family screen-time manager for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Parents can set screen-time schedules, block apps, and view activity reports while children earn screen-time tokens by completing chores, schoolwork, exercise, and other real-world activities. Families can create custom tasks, schedules, app-access modes, and access passes. Bonus tokens can reward finishing early or completing work without reminders. Parents may let trusted children self-approve selected activities while keeping approval requirements for others. The maker lists support for iPhone and iPad, Android phones and tablets, MacBooks and desktops, and Windows laptops and PCs; unsupported devices can use manually added sessions. ScreenCoach Box for TVs, Xbox, PlayStation, and other connected devices is in beta with limited stock available on request. Children can also track virtual pocket-money gems, expenses, deposits, and recurring transactions, although the balance is not a bank account. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Monthly costs $7.99 a month; 6 Monthly costs $39 a month; Annual costs $5,912 a year.
