Stars & treats
The parental control app kids actually like
Stars and treats are Wardenly's cooperative engine: your child earns stars for keeping the routines you set, redeems them for treats they've proposed — extra time, a trip to the zoo — and requests more time from their phone instead of arguing. Rules stop being your war and become their game.
What you get
Time requests
Plans change. Your child asks for more time from their phone, you approve or decline in one tap — the negotiation happens in the app, not the hallway.
Stars for keeping routines
Weekly plans make expectations visible; kids collect stars for the days they keep them. Progress they can see beats reminders you repeat.
A treats economy they help design
Kids redeem stars for treats — bonus screen time or real-world rewards — and can propose their own treats for your approval.

Every competitor sells a quieter lock. Wardenly sells a louder yes: when kids can ask, earn and redeem, the same rules stop feeling like surveillance and start feeling like the family game they actually are.
