Minua: Earn Screen Time

• Choose who Minua is for: My child or Myself.
• Choose the earning apps (learning apps, on a child's device): reading, math, languages, workouts, meditation, whatever you want more of.
• Choose the fun apps: social media, videos, games. They stay locked until there's time in the balance.
• Set the ratio, anywhere from 1:1 to 12:1. At 6:1, six minutes of earning unlocks one minute of fun.
• Set the allowed hours and a daily earning cap.

The balance shows minutes earned, minutes used and what's left. When it runs out, the fun apps lock again. It resets every day, so each morning starts fresh.

ON A CHILD'S DEVICE

• Settings and purchases sit behind a 4-digit parent PIN, with a timed lockout after repeated wrong attempts
• On a child's device in Family Sharing, you approve Minua with your Apple Account, so your child can't switch the permission off or delete Minua without you
• A switch to stop apps being deleted, plus in-app setup tips

FOR YOURSELF

• Put the apps you scroll behind the apps you want to spend more time in
• Wording written for adults, and a PIN only if you want one
• It's your phone and your rules: you can change them in Settings whenever you decide to. Minua just makes the scroll wait until you've earned it

IN BOTH MODES

• Locks the apps, categories and websites you choose
• Ratio from 1:1 to 12:1, allowed hours and a daily earning cap
• Bonus time: +5, +15 or +30 minutes for today
• A heads-up a minute or two before fun time runs out
• A weekly chart of time earned and time played
• Change your PIN in Settings
• Works on iPhone and iPad

ASKS FIRST

Minua locks the fun apps you pick and unlocks them as time is earned. It asks for your permission on the device before it can. On devices outside Family Sharing, Minua shows on its home screen if the permission is ever switched off, and the in-app guide walks you through the settings that go with it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No accounts and no sign-up. No servers, no tracking, no analytics. Your settings and your balance stay on the device, and Minua works offline.

TRY IT FIRST

Every feature works for 7 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks Minua for good. No subscription.

GOOD TO KNOW

Minua helps you set limits. It is not a guarantee: limits can stop working after system updates or be worked around. It does not filter content and does not replace supervision. Check from time to time that the limits are still on.
