You set the rules, the phones apply them. And your child always knows what's going on.
📣
“Dinner's ready!” and phone breaks
One tap and your message fills your kids' screens, with a countdown and your voice if you like. Not seen yet? The call comes back every 30 seconds.
- Ready-made moments: Dinner, Homework, Leaving… and “Bedtime” until the next morning.
- A daily limit, and the family break… parents included.
- The hallway basket: put your phone on an NFC sticker (or scan a QR code), and it goes on break.
- During a break, the Calls, Emergency (the country's number) and Alarm buttons always stay open.
⚔️
Live challenges
Rock paper scissors, Connect 4, Snake, mental math, blitz chess, and the quiz — including the home quiz, where you write the questions.
- You challenge your child, or they challenge you. If they win, they win screen time.
- If they lose, the forfeit becomes a mission to complete (with a photo as proof).
- A rematch? One tap.
- The family score, and the champion of the week announced on Sunday evening, with the reward you chose.
🧮
The weekly math test
Once a week, 20 timed calculations. A good score earns screen time.
- The level follows their age; you set the difficulty (1, 2 or 3) and the operations.
- You choose the score to reach and the number of minutes per point.
- A short timer against cheating: no time to ask another app for the answer. Optionally, the test is taken with you right there.
Coming soon reviewing their weak spots, a summary every week, spelling dictation, vocabulary in a foreign language, general knowledge and logic, fair knowledge duels (each at their own level), badges and their progress curve.
📸
Missions and earned time
“Tidy your room: +20 min.” Your child does the mission, sends one or two photos, and you approve. They can also ask you for extra time: you answer yes or no with one tap.
Coming soon the time piggy bank: earned time is saved for later (7 days, 2 hours max, never during a break). And “5 more minutes?”: during a break, they ask you, you answer yes or no.
💌
Staying close
“Well done on your test!”, “Good night”. Your sweet note shows up big on their phone, and they can answer “Me too ❤️”. On their side, their little bell keeps all the news: missions, challenges, answers.
📍
Knowing they're OK
- The map in the app, and the family places: you're notified when they arrive at school or leave football practice.
- Their trip history, with their stops (30 days).
- The “Alert my parents” button: one long press, and you get their location and battery level.
- An alert when their battery is low.
Location is off by default: you're the one who turns it on, and your child can always see it.
🛡️
Apps and the internet
- A limit per app (“TikTok: 30 min a day”).
- Time spent in each app (Android).
- New apps wait for your OK (Android; on iPhone: installs blocked), and in-app purchases can be blocked (iPhone).
- Adult website filter, safe search (Android) and restricted YouTube.
- Websites visited, and alerts about dangerous content in the app's 9 languages, slang included — with only the sentence in question, never the whole conversation (Android).
🏠
The whole family, and two homes
The other parent has the same rights as you. The babysitter or grandparents get access that ends on its own. Visiting friends scan a QR code and follow the house rules until the evening — without ever being monitored.
Separated parents? Each of you runs your own home, with your own rules, and only sees your own home. Your child moves from one to the other.
🔜
What's coming
- Coming soon A web dashboard for parents, on your computer.
- Coming soon Joya Home Kids on computers: Windows, Mac and Chromebook.
iPhone or Android? Almost everything works the same. On iPhone, it's Apple's Screen Time that pauses apps and filters websites, and Apple doesn't let any app read the websites visited, messages or time spent per app: those features, like safe search, therefore only exist on Android. Conversely, the family break on a parent's phone works on iPhone only.
