Replace the daily fight with a rule
Create a protected family task with a small starter action and a definition of what must be shown before sign-off. Soft focus keeps Actenly full screen to help attention; the child can still leave the app.
FOR PARENTS
Make soft focus and review stick.
Nagging loses to a clear system. Name the task, use soft focus for attention, review the proof, then sign off. Kids learn that follow-through is visible—not guessed.
Take the first step →A named task, evidence of completion, and a trusted reviewer’s sign-off.
Review proof—do not guess
Your child submits a note, checklist, photo or other agreed evidence. You accept it or explain what still needs attention. The trail is visible.
Why this works better than willpower
Phones are a fast escape from boring or stressful work. Soft focus plus a visible review rule helps households follow through without pretending the OS locks the device.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is this a parental surveillance product?
No. The model is visible agreements and explicit review—not hidden activity monitoring.
What if my child needs the phone for school apps?
Soft focus is in-app only—the child can leave Actenly. Learning tools and other apps stay available; protected tasks still need evidence and your sign-off to count as done.
