Carrots&Cake was developed to answer families’ growing concern around screen time. Kids spend an average of 5 - 8 hours on devices daily. Anxiety and depression in kids has increased and self-confidence has decreased.

Kids become determined to engage in forbidden activities. They bypass restrictions and hack out of control. Kids suffer tantrums because allowances aren't made for their developing brains and executive function control.

The Carrots&Cake approach benefits kids’ development of the prefrontal cortex. It balances dopamine levels, introduces delayed gratification, and develops self-control, resilience, and grit while countering the persuasive design of apps that keep kids hooked.

In our app, preset and recommended websites, content, and apps are free. However, if you choose to add paid educational apps or use paid content from other apps and websites, you will incur charges. Additionally, some apps and content you include in your app schedule may require separate subscriptions on their respective platforms.
