LearnThenPlay
You set a timer
Pick how much screen time your kid gets, their grade, and the subjects to practice. Your settings are protected by a parent PIN.
Screen time they earn by learning
You set the timer. When it runs out, your kid earns more time by answering a quick quiz with Lumi, our friendly lightbulb.
Coming soon to the App StoreFor iPhone and iPad. Made for parents of kids in kindergarten through grade 12.
How it works
Three simple steps. No arguing about "five more minutes".
Your kid plays
They use the device as usual. When time is up, LearnThenPlay uses Apple's Screen Time to pause other apps, even if our app is closed.
A quick quiz earns more
Lumi asks a few questions. Get them right and bonus time unlocks. You choose how many questions, how much bonus time, and how many rounds a day.
Every answer explains why
Most quiz apps just say right or wrong. Lumi explains every answer in a sentence or two, so a wrong guess turns into something learned. Missed questions come back later for another try.
- Hundreds of questions in math, science, spelling, geography, and puzzles
- Matched to your kid's grade, from kindergarten through grade 12
- No repeats until they have seen every question in a set
- One device, several kids. Each kid has their own stars and progress
- A progress report shows you where they shine and what needs practice
What is 7 × 8?

Ooh, tricky one.
Let's learn: 7 × 8 = 56. Try 7 × 4 = 28, then double it.
Built for parents
You stay in charge. Lumi keeps it fun.
You make the rules
Set the timer, the number of questions, the bonus minutes, and a daily limit on bonus rounds. Add time or unlock the device yourself whenever you want.
Real blocking, by Apple
LearnThenPlay uses Apple's Screen Time controls. It works best when your kid's device is set up as a child account in Family Sharing.
Private by design
No ads. No tracking. Kids never make an account, and we only ask for a nickname. Read the privacy policy.
Kind, never pushy
Lumi is always on your kid's side. Short sentences, friendly words, and a little celebration for every right answer.
Questions parents ask
When can I get LearnThenPlay?
Soon. The app is in final testing and will be available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
What ages is it for?
Questions are grouped by grade: kindergarten to grade 2, grades 3 to 5, grades 6 to 8, and grades 9 to 12. You choose the level for each kid and can change it anytime.
Does it really block other apps?
Yes. When time runs out, LearnThenPlay uses Apple's Screen Time controls to pause other apps until the quiz is done or you unlock the device. It needs your approval the first time, and it works best when the device uses your child's Apple Account in Family Sharing. We also recommend a Screen Time passcode your kid does not know.
Can my kid just guess until they get in?
Guessing does not get far. Bonus time only unlocks after the number of correct answers you choose, wrong answers come with an explanation, and you set how many bonus rounds are allowed each day.
Can more than one kid use it?
Yes. Add each kid with a nickname and an avatar. Each one gets their own grade, subjects, stars, and question history. The timer is shared by the device.
How much does it cost?
The price will be shown on the App Store at launch. If a subscription is offered, you will always see the price before you pay, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
What information do you collect?
As little as we can. A parent email for your account, and for each kid a nickname, avatar, grade, and learning progress. No ads and no tracking. You can delete your account and all its data inside the app. Details are in the privacy policy.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later.
Less nagging. More learning.
LearnThenPlay is on its way to the App Store.
