TallyGator
The screen time economy
How it works
The app that makes kids beg to do chores.
Turn screen time into the reward for reading, chores, and homework. Tally double-checks the work, so it’s always fair — no more nagging, no more arguing.
- Read 20 minutes→20 min of screen time
- Dishes done→10 min of screen time

How we make sure it’s real
Every win gets the gator stamp.
Reading earns two quick Tally questions about what your kid read. Chores and homework get a photo check. When it’s a match, the minutes land instantly — no waiting on you. If something isn’t clear, it goes to your review queue with the reason attached, so kids always get credit fairly and you never have to play referee.
Parents hold the keys
When a balance hits zero, we send you a notification with a one-tap deep-link that opens Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link for that child — you tap once more there to lock the device. Same in reverse when new minutes are earned. TallyGator never locks or unlocks a phone itself: only Apple's and Google's own tools can do that, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Bank it for the big stuff
Movie night, a Six Flags trip — gold banks toward shared family goals.
