Math Gate locks the apps you choose until your child answers a few quick, age‑right questions in the subject you pick: math, reading, grammar, science or art. Learning first, screen time second.
Each subject has its own penguin guide and colors. Choose one per child and switch whenever you like. The change takes effect at the next challenge.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Stories, phonics, word meaning and inference
Parts of speech, punctuation and sentences
Living things, the body, Earth, space and energy
Color, the elements of art, tools and artists
Pick the exact apps and categories that stay blocked until the challenge is complete. The lock holds even when Math Gate is closed.
Set how long screen time lasts. Apps unlock when the challenge is done and re‑lock automatically when the timer runs out.
See accuracy by topic, daily streaks, most‑missed questions and earned reward badges, all in the parent dashboard.
Five levels from ages 5 to 13+ in every subject. Kids can tap “Read it to me” to hear a question read aloud.
No ads, no trackers, no accounts. Everything stays on your device. We never collect or sell your family's data.
A profile for each child with their own subject, difficulty, time limits and progress.
Create your child's profile, pick their subject, choose the apps to lock, and set the difficulty and unlock time. Settings are protected by Face ID.
When your child wants their apps, their penguin guide gives them a short set of questions. Get enough right, earn the screen time.
When the timer ends, apps re‑lock automatically. A quick new challenge unlocks them again. Practice becomes a daily habit.
