hey product hunt 👋 I'm Uche and i built ally after watching my younger siblings go through the exact screen time battle every parent knows. the negotiation. the meltdown. the guilt when you finally take the device away. every parental control app i looked at was built around blocking and surveillance. they made the parent the enforcer. i wanted to flip that. what if kids earned their screen time instead? that's Ally. kids complete quizzes or chores to unlock screen time. the app holds the line so the parent doesn't have to. i'm a software engineer in my mid-twenties. this isn't a VC-backed company — it's something i built because the problem was right in front of me and nobody was solving it the right way. would love your honest feedback. what's working, what's not, what you'd want to see. thanks for checking it out

I really like the idea behind Ally — it tackles one of the most painful daily frictions for parents: negotiating screen time.

The concept of tying screen time to completed tasks and routines is simple but powerful. “Set it once and let it run” is exactly what most parents need. The addition of quizzes for earning extra time is also a smart way to make screen usage feel more productive rather than just restricted.

Photo verification is a nice touch — it adds accountability without constant supervision.

Overall, the idea resonates a lot. If execution and UX are smooth, this could become a very valuable tool for families trying to build healthier digital habits without daily conflicts.
