Grogo: Healthier Screen Time

About this app

Pause the scroll. Power up the mind.

What matters most is not how much screen time kids get, but whether that time makes them smarter and healthier. Grogo makes screen time better, not just shorter. Instead of simply blocking your child's apps, it interrupts the endless scrolling with short, brain-boosting questions they answer to earn their apps back.

Two-time NAPPA Award winner. 2026 Best App for Kids. 2025 Best App for Learning.

WHY GROGO IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PARENTAL CONTROL APPS

Most parental control apps are app blockers. They block, restrict, or monitor, and that starts a fight. Grogo sets the standard for productive pauses: it blocks the apps you choose, then your child unblocks them by answering a few questions.

It is the only app combining timed screen interruption, adaptive microlearning, and kid-friendly design in one. Patent-pending.

Grogo is also the only kids learning app teaching both Financial Literacy and Civic Life. Other parental control apps ignore them. Schools barely touch them. Grogo makes them part of daily screen time.

HOW THE SCREEN TIME BREAKS WORK

• A 5-minute heads-up before every break, so your child is never caught off guard.
• When the break starts, Grogo pauses only the apps you selected, on the schedule you set: every 15, 30, or 45 minutes.
• You decide what stays available. Phone, messages, and emergency services can be set to never be interrupted.
• Your child answers a short set of grade-appropriate questions to unlock their apps until the next break.
• More than 30,000 questions, verified for accuracy and grade level.
• Pause Grogo any time for homework or dinner and leave school apps out entirely.

BUILT FOR GRADES 2 THROUGH 12

Set your child's grade and pick their subjects: Financial Literacy and Civic Life, plus Math, Science, History, English, and Pop Culture. Difficulty adapts up or down by subject based on how they answer. Always challenging, never punishing.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND MICROLEARNING

Short sessions spaced through the day, known as microlearning, build lasting memory far better than cramming. Research also links interrupting continuous scrolling to better behavior and focus in children.

IT WORKS, AND KIDS ACTUALLY LIKE IT

"Grogo not only helps your child get extra learning, it improves their self-esteem and helps them develop better screen habits." Tom Kersting, Psychotherapist, Author of Raising Healthy Teenagers

"This app just changed my whole life. I like EVERYTHING!" Henry, 3rd grade
