What Zapp is
Zapp is an iOS family app that manages children’s device use through a daily Energy budget instead of strict time limits. Each child starts the morning with 100 Energy. Activities can consume that allowance, while habits such as reading, studying, or walking 1,000 steps can add bonus Energy. Children see the balance in real time and can prioritize how they spend it; when Energy reaches zero, apps pause. The app is intended for families with children aged 7–15. Parents receive screen-time schedules, app blocking, activity reports, and location tracking. The Free plan costs nothing and supports one child. Zapp+ plans support up to five children; the listed Zapp+ offer costs 49 SEK a month and includes unlimited family profiles, advanced rules, and parent reports. Zapp says it is GDPR-compliant, built in the EU, uses no tracking cookies or ads, and does not share data. Enovira says product data stays within the EU.
