Carrots&Cake is not just another parental control app. It emphasizes learning over play for young kids. It empowers children by granting them a sense of agency over their screen time, fostering healthy habits and self-regulation practice. For parents, it provides the flexibility to customize controls, blocks adult content, and prevents unsupervised app downloads.

Parents aren‘t just battling screen time with their kids: they‘re up against Silicon Valley, Madison Avenue and Wall Street. Navigating this on your own is a daunting task. Carrots&Cake helps level that playing field.

Setting screen time limits can be tricky during a busy day. I have had parents set timers, which does not always work. Either they forget to set them or miss when they go off.

Carrots&Cake, on the other hand, has taken the guesswork out of setting limits, and you’re not the ‘villain’ telling your child funtime is up. I recommend this to the parents I work with who struggle with managing screen time, and they love it.

Does this sound familiar?

✔️ I want to hand over a device worry-free

✔️ I'm tired of negotiating when it's time to turn off screens.

✔️ I don’t want my kids mindlessly watching YouTube for hours

✔️ My kids are agitated every time they come off their tablets

Then it's time to try Carrots&Cake, the award-winning app that helps parents take back control of screen time.
