Lanibo · Screen time
Screen time your kids earn
Pick the apps that stay locked on your child’s iPhone — games, YouTube, whatever pulls them in. They unlock them for a while with stars from chores, or when you give time. Then the lock comes back by itself.
Chores first, then games
Lanibo connects screen time to the things that need doing. Kids spend the stars they earned on 15, 30 or 60 minutes; a finished routine can earn minutes too. You decide the price and a daily limit, from any phone.
Built on Apple’s Screen Time
Lanibo uses Apple’s own Screen Time (Family Controls), so the lock is the real thing, not a reminder. You set it up once on the child’s iPhone, with your Apple Account, and choose the apps — and websites like youtube.com.
- Apps stay locked until unlocked with stars or by a parent
- Time runs out and the lock returns automatically
- Parents give extra time from their own phone

Questions
Does it really lock the apps?
Yes. On iPhone Lanibo uses Apple’s Screen Time framework, the same one behind Apple’s own limits. The child needs to be in your Family Sharing group.
Can the child get around it?
Changing the setup needs the parent’s Apple Account approval, just like Apple’s own Screen Time.
Does it work on Android?
Not the lock: it needs Apple’s Screen Time. On Android, kids can still trade stars for rewards like “30 minutes of games”.
Is it free?
Yes, Lanibo is free.
