They earn their screen time.
You don't have to check.

Your kids do their chores, take a photo or quick video to show it's done, and Ascenda checks the work. If it passes, their screen time unlocks.

How it works

The checking is the hard part.
So Ascenda does it.

Chore charts fall apart because someone has to keep score. Ascenda takes care of that for you! It looks at the submission, decides if the work is done correctly, and handles the screen time from there.

Ascenda Verification

Your child submits a photo or short video when they finish a task. Ascenda checks their work and gives them instant feedback, so you don't have to personally check every task before they can move on.

Screen Time Unlocks Automatically

Once your child completes their tasks, their screen time unlocks automatically. There is nothing for you to approve, track, or turn on unless you choose to.

Every Child Is Different

Ascenda gets to know your child through a quick quiz, then personalizes their experience around them. Expectations and support can adjust as they learn and grow, with accommodations like a dyslexia friendly font when needed. Because what works for one child might not work for another.

Your Family, Your Rules

Ascenda is a tool to support your parenting, not replace it. Customize task routines, screen time limits, unlock rules, rewards, required breaks, bedtimes, and more; while you stay in control every step of the way.

What's Coming Next

Ascenda will keep growing with your family. We already have more planned for the future, including:

Content AlertsAscenda detects potentially inappropriate content and alerts you when something may need your attention. Instead of monitoring and reporting everything your child does, it focuses on what actually matters. Parents get peace of mind while kids still have a sense of privacy and independence online.
Reward PetsKids can unlock their own companion pet and care for it as they make progress, giving them something fun to keep working toward.
And More to ComeNew ways to motivate kids, support parents, and make healthy screen time easier will continue to be added as Ascenda grows.

Why I'm building it

Hi, I'm Marie, a 21 year old entrepreneur who grew up watching screen time become one of the biggest battles in family life. I created Ascenda because I believe kids are capable of so much when they have the right motivation and structure. I'm building it for parents who are tired of constantly having to be the bad guy, and for kids who deserve the chance to earn what they want and feel proud of what they accomplish.
