Carrots&Cake, a Kuala Lumpur–based startup, is aiming to help parents manage their kids’ screen time in an automated way. The company, which exhibited as part of the Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt, has released an iOS app that allows parents to design their kids’ approach to technology by creating a specific schedule to determine which apps they interact with on a regular basis.
The app lets parents select a handful of their favorite educational apps from the App Store that they want their child to use when they turn on their iPad. Their child then needs to spend a designated amount of time on these apps before they can have free time on other apps. The company believes that this approach helps kids balance their dopamine levels, while introducing the idea of delayed gratification and self-control.
