Screen time managed
with agency,
not authority.

Playback is a family screen time app built around behavioral science — 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 — not fine print.

02
Apps wait until you start a session

Distracting apps stay closed by default. When your kid wants time, they start a session from the family’s daily budget — a short pause, a chosen length, then the apps open. Intentional time, not endless time.

03
Earn a reward that matters

Every day of keeping the plan builds progress toward a reward the kid chose themselves. Locking in tomorrow’s time ahead earns booster multipliers that build it faster. The reward is earned — a goal reached, not a punishment avoided.

For everyone in the family

Works for parents.
Wanted by kids.

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 — and feel good about making them. Not zero screens. Intentional ones.
