The homework-vs-games battle, every evening

Your child needs the computer to learn — but the computer is also where every distraction lives.

"I'm doing homework"… maybe

You send them to study and games or cartoons appear instead. You can't stand over their shoulder for hours.

Nagging that goes nowhere

Reminders turn into arguments. Taking the computer away isn't an option — homework happens online now.

No idea how it went

Without consistent study, you never see what your child excels at — or where they quietly struggle.

How it works

Study earns. Distractions wait.

A simple loop kids understand instantly: focused studying earns coins, coins unlock the fun stuff.

Set up their study world

Add homework, tutoring, and learning sites as bookmarks. Choose which apps and websites stay allowed — everything else is blocked during study.

They study and earn coins

Focused time on approved sites earns coins, celebrated with award stickers. You set the daily target and the earn rate for each site.

Coins unlock rewards

Kids spend coins on timed breaks, game access, or custom rewards you define — screen time, treats, anything. You watch it all live from the parent portal.

Everything included

One app, calmer study routines

Built for primary and middle-school children who study on a computer — at home, in classrooms, and in tutoring sessions.

Education-focused browser

Works with any learning website. Your child's study sites sit one click away in a clean, distraction-free space.

App blocker & kiosk mode

Games, browsers, and chat apps are blocked while studying. Allow-list exactly the Mac or Windows apps you approve.

Coin rewards economy

Study time mints coins. Kids spend them on Unlock breaks (1 coin = 1 minute) or custom rewards you price yourself.

Award stickers kids love

Pick the GIF themes that celebrate every coin earned — with optional surprise stickers to keep motivation high.

Live parent portal

Watch sessions progress in real time from your phone. See history, adjust rewards, and get notified to celebrate wins.

Private by default

The app works fully without an account — study data and coins stay on your computer. Link the portal only when you want to.

Why we built it

How my son went from 15 minutes to 3 hours of study

I have a 12-year-old son. Whenever I asked him to study on his computer, he would end up playing games or watching cartoons instead. I couldn't take the computer away — he needed it for homework — and I couldn't sit beside him while he studied.

So I built Sit-N-Study: a desktop app that turns games into rewards for studying. Within a few weeks, his study time grew from around 15 minutes to 3 hours.

Now we're inviting parents, teachers, and tutors to try it and shape what it becomes.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which computers does Sit-N-Study run on?

macOS 10.14 and above, Windows 10 and above, and Ubuntu 18.04 and above. One signup email includes download links for all three platforms.

How does my child earn and spend coins?

Focused time on the study sites you approve earns coins at a rate you set. Kids spend coins on timed Unlock breaks — 1 coin buys 1 minute — or on custom rewards you create, like game time or treats.

Do I need an account to use it?

No. The desktop app works straight after installing, with study data and coins stored only on that computer. Link the parent portal whenever you want live progress on your phone.

How do I control which apps are blocked?

All apps are blocked during study by default. In PIN-protected Parent settings, you can allow-list specific Mac bundle IDs or Windows .exe names, and toggle kiosk mode on or off.

Can teachers and tutors use it too?

Yes — early access is open to school teachers and private tutors as well as parents. It works well for classrooms and tutoring sessions where online distractions get in the way.

What does early access cost?

Nothing — it's free while we launch, in exchange for your honest feedback. Founding members will also lock in discounted pricing when we launch fully.
