CLUSTER PARENTAL-CHILDREN-LEARNING · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-04-11
Educational screen time locks
This cluster comprises parental-control apps that lock chosen apps or games until children complete short, curriculum-aligned learning tasks or answer grade-appropriate questions, then grant timed access as a reward. The dated history shows one entry in 2017, one in 2021, one in 2025, and four in the first half of 2026, indicating sparse early activity with a slight concentration in recent months. All members have zero-star traction signals, with Minua: Earn Screen Time listed first as the traction leader.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
