Screen time managed
with agency,
not authority.

Playback is a family screen time app built around behavioral science โ€” where kids set limits they want to keep, and earn rewards they actually care about.

How it works

Three steps to fewer fights
and more agency.

01
Make the Game Plan together

Parent and kid sit down, set daily limits, and choose a real reward. Both tap to confirm. A real agreement โ€” not fine print.

02
Kids lock time before the urge hits

Pre-committing is the core mechanic. Kids lock away future screen time before the craving kicks in โ€” and earn bigger progress toward their reward.

03
Unlock the vault, earn the reward

Progress fills a Time Vault. When it's full, it unlocks. The kid earned it โ€” not as a punishment avoided, but as a goal reached.

For everyone in the family

Works for parents.
Wanted by kids.

For parents
End the daily negotiation.
  • โœ“Set limits you both agreed on โ€” once
  • โœ“Monitor progress from your own dashboard
  • โœ“iOS Screen Time enforces limits automatically
  • โœ“Grant emergency time when life happens
  • โœ“Watch self-regulation actually develop
For kids
Be in charge of your own time.
  • โœ“Choose your own reward and work toward it
  • โœ“Pre-commit time to earn bigger progress boosts
  • โœ“See exactly where you stand, every day
  • โœ“No rules handed down โ€” an agreement made together
  • โœ“Unlock the vault on your own terms

Willpower alone
doesn't work against a
billion-dollar attention economy.

Playback isn't about more restrictions. It's about giving kids the structural support to actually make choices โ€” and feel good about making them. Not zero screens. Intentional ones.
