No nagging, no timers you have to police. The phone does it.
Pick the games and social apps to block. ReDirect shields them on your child's device.
Your child reads a passage matched to their grade level from a library of classics.
Pass the comprehension check and the blocked apps unlock. Time is actually earned.

Instead of a blank lock screen, kids get a passage from a real book at their reading level. Finish it, and they're one comprehension check away from their time.
Every passage ends in comprehension questions generated for that text. Skim and they won't pass, so the reading actually counts.
