The concept of tying screen time to earned money is interesting and seems to reduce negotiation stress. The app looks like it effectively tracks responsibilities and quests, giving kids a clear view of what is expected daily. However, it is important to note that the screen time enforcement specifically requires each child to have their own device and grant permissions from that device. This might be a limitation for families with shared phones. The giving option and practice invest section are nice additions, though they are optional. Overall, it seems like a well-designed tool for teaching financial responsibility and time management, provided the hardware requirements are met.

I really appreciate the private family chat and the polls for things we usually argue about. It makes decision making much smoother. The shared calendar is also very helpful for keeping everyone on the same page with activities and chores.
This app is absolutely brilliant for managing our household routine! The way it ties screen time to real earned money makes the limits actually hold firm. No more endless negotiations because the timer just stops. I love that the daily loop encourages chores and quests, turning responsibility into a game. It is wonderful to see my kids practicing saving and showing up daily without feeling like they are being punished.

About Earnlings
Earnlings is a free iOS application designed to help parents set and enforce daily screen time limits for their children on iPhone and iPad. Parents post responsibilities (unpaid household duties) and quests (paid chores), which children complete to earn money that is tracked in an in-app wallet. When a child's screen time expires, additional time can be purchased in fifteen-minute increments using a portion of their earned money, with the app showing the impact on their savings goal before the purchase goes through. The app includes gamification elements such as trophies, levels, streaks, and an earned currency called "sproutlings," as well as features for family communication including chat, polls, a shared calendar, and weekly family goals. The service is offered as a beta and is free for founding families.
