CLUSTER TIME-CHORES-CONTROL · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-12-23
Chore-based screen time apps
This cluster comprises parental-control apps that make screen time contingent on completing chores, routines, homework, or other real-world tasks. Their dated history before the index is sparse and intermittent, with single entries scattered from mid-2022 through early 2026 and two entries in June 2026, the latest listed pre-index month. Traction leaders by activity signal are Parental Control - ScreenTreat, LimeTime: Screen Time Bank, and ChoreKey: Chores Unlock Phone, each showing 0 stars.
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.
