EarnIt: apps locked until revision is complete

How it works

Three steps. No daily management required.

1

You choose which apps to lock

Pick any apps your child uses: TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube. Add them in under two minutes. A parent PIN protects your settings.

2

Your child completes a revision task

Before getting access, they answer a short quiz or flashcard set aligned to their GCSE subjects. Typically two to five minutes.

3

Their apps unlock automatically

Completed task = access granted. No negotiating, no arguments, no exceptions. The app handles it so you don't have to.

Why parents use EarnIt

Struggling to keep revision consistent? You're not alone.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • "I can't get them off TikTok during homework time."
  • "They say they're revising, but they're on Snapchat."
  • "Every evening ends in the same argument about the phone."

Revision happens first, every time

Apps stay locked until the task is done. No exceptions, no negotiating.

You stop being the bad cop

The rule isn't "because I said so." The app enforces it, so you don't have to.

Consistent routine during exam season

Short daily tasks build a study habit, without pressure or overwhelm.

Peace of mind when you're not in the room

PIN-protected settings mean only you control the rules, from any point in the day.

Why trust EarnIt

Built on real experience in schools.

EarnIt was developed with input from Lauren Bor, a trainee counselling psychologist with experience working in secondary schools. The design is grounded in research into adolescent behaviour, motivation, and healthy phone use, not engagement metrics.

The goal is simple: reduce conflict, build structure, and make revision a normal part of the day. Not a battle.

  • Designed with a trainee counselling psychologist with direct experience in secondary schools

  • Grounded in research into adolescent behaviour, motivation, and healthy phone habits

  • Built for the UK, with content aligned to GCSE and A-Level curricula

GCSE & A-Level

Designed for exam season, and the months before it.

Consistent, low-pressure daily revision is more effective than late cramming. EarnIt is built around exactly that: short tasks, every day, tied to the subjects your child is actually studying.

  • Aligned to UK exam boards

    AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC content across the subjects that matter during GCSE season.

  • Short tasks, not overwhelming ones

    Typically two to five minutes per session, designed to fit around a school day, not replace it.

  • Works without Wi-Fi

    Downloaded content means the revision lock still applies even offline.

  • Builds habit, not just compliance

    Daily repetition during exam season creates a routine that carries forward.
