I got tired of fighting my son over screen time, so I built a lock screen that makes him earn it
I'm a developer and a dad of a 11-year-old boy. For years, every evening was the same fight. "Turn off the computer", "do your homework first", "Dad, just 5 more minutes". I was tired of being the bad guy every single day.
So I built a thing.
It's a lock screen for Windows with AI. My son has to solve quests before the computer unlocks. Math, reading, whatever I set up. No quests, no gaming. Simple.
The best thing is that he doesn't need to fight anymore with me, he can learn new things via AI chat (special kids mode), by the way when he has screen access I'm sure that he learning something
He's been using it for a month now. ~300 quests solved. ~30 minutes average per unlock(It's changeable from settings). He just does the useful quests that I've set from the parent panel. Because he wants to play Roblox...omg that Roblox!!!!
I'm not saying it's perfect. The app. Mostly for geeks. But it works.
Honest feedback will be appreciated.
