Do real jobs, earn real screen time.
Children earn screen time by doing real jobs. You approve from your phone, the minutes land in their bank, and their chosen apps unlock for exactly as long as they earned.

Through Apple's own Screen Time controls (Family Controls). You choose which apps and categories are covered, on the child's device, in the parent area under Device. Job Jar never sees which apps your child uses — iOS does the locking and only reports whether a lock is active.
Every family gets a recovery code when it's set up, shown in the parent area under Kids. On the PIN screen, tap "Forgot your PIN?", enter that code, and you can set a new one.
Yes. Set the family up on one device, then on the second — a parent's phone or a child's own device — tap Join a family and scan the code shown in the parent area. Jobs, approvals and minutes stay in step.
No. Job Jar has no accounts, no sign-ups and no email addresses — not for you and not for your children.
They stay banked, up to a cap of four hours. There's also a daily spending limit of an hour, so a big balance can't be spent all at once.
Job Jar is built for families, not for data. There's no advertising, no tracking and no analytics, and nothing about your children is sold or shared. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
