Brain Bank, for iPhone & iPad

Screen time, earned.

Brain Bank is a family minutes bank. Kids earn minutes for reading, chores, and practice all week — and spend them on the weekend, with your say-so.

Brain Bank on iPhone: a progress ring showing 25 minutes saved toward a 60-minute weekend goal, spend buttons, and today's routines.

Handing over the iPad after enough begging teaches kids that begging works. Brain Bank makes the deal explicit: effort earns minutes, and minutes buy the weekend.

How it works

01

Earn

Reading, chores, music practice — each routine is worth minutes. Done one? Your kid taps it.

What it teaches: effort has value.

02

Approve

Nothing lands in the bank without a parent's PIN. Every deposit, spend, and correction goes on a ledger you can always read.

What it teaches: trust is built, not assumed.

03

Spend the weekend

The ring fills toward Saturday. When the weekend arrives, banked minutes become screen time — no negotiation required.

What it teaches: waiting pays.

Built like it's none of our business

Because it isn't. Brain Bank is designed so that your family's data never reaches us — or anyone else.

Offline by design

Everything lives on your device. There is no server, no account, and nothing to sync.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no identifiers. We can't see your family's data, and neither can anyone else.

Parent-approved, always

A four-digit parent PIN gates every change to the bank, and the full history stays auditable inside the app.

Free and complete
