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.

Carrots&Cake creates a compromise between parents having full control of their child’s device and kids having full control. Kids have agency, but parents decide which apps kids use.

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.

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.

Carrots&Cake is a new and innovative app that helps children AND parents create a healthy balance with electronic use. In a nutshell, your child can access their “fun” games ONLY after they have completed their “work” games! It’s an amazing idea!

Andy Goldstrom

As a parent coach, I’ve witnessed firsthand the effects of excessive screen time on young minds. Carrots & Cake provides a holistic approach that’s grounded in science. It addresses not just the quantity but also the quality of screen time. Kids get to learn and have fun, encouraging them to develop essential skills for the digital age. I highly recommend it.

Leroy Father of three

I used Carrots&Cake to make my kids stop watching YouTube and non-educational stuff. They spend too much time watching videos and wanted an app to stop that. It’s been really good I like the fact that kids can go on the app while others are locked and do productive stuff. It stops them from spending all day watching Youtube.

Rose Mother of two

So far I am really impressed with the Carrots&Cake being a mom of two Autistic children one 18yrs and one 5 and this is what makes more sense for our youngest.

Qutayba Father of two

It was tough for me to control the learning and gaming time for my kids as my wife would get busy with housework and could not monitor them all the time. So this was the perfect solution to automate it and make them work to get rewarded.

Haiden Father

I was trying to solve was my daughter spending hours locked in to her shows. I wanted to help her develop a healthy relationship with screen time. Previously I had tried timers and reminders but they weren’t effective. I enjoyed using the app. It was simple and straightforward. I was able to easily program the app for what I wanted. It was user friendly.

Sarah Mother of two

I really like the concept of Carrots&Cake, where she can read something or do exercises to 'unlock' more time. It helps me create a clean and customizable schedule of screen time, balancing her use during weekdays and weekend.

Sebin Father of two

The app is great for parents who want to control how much time their child spends on screens. The daily screen time limits and educational activities before YouTube and games unlock were helpful features. It allowed me to ensure that my child was spending time on educational content while still having fun.
