For Parents

Stop fighting
about screens.

HocusFocus turns your child's daily screen time into a Focus Score — and ties it to an allowance they actually earn.

Simple to set up.
Hard to ignore.

Four steps from install to insight. No app on their phone. No arguing about screen time.

01 / 04
VPN silently watches every device

Install on your home router. Every phone, laptop, and tablet is covered from day one.

02 / 04
A daily score tells the whole story

Productive sessions (homework, reading, studying) raise it. Distracting ones lower it. Updates in real time.

03 / 04
Score converts to weekly allowance

Set any weekly amount. They always earn the baseline. The rest scales directly with their Focus Score.

04 / 04
Focus Sessions block distractions on-demand

When it's study time, one tap activates the VPN blocker across all devices simultaneously.

One number.
The whole story.

No more checking browser history. The Focus Score integrates every session — homework, YouTube, Khan Academy, social media — into a single honest number. It resets every day.

You're not
the warden.

Your child can freely use any app, any time. Distracting sites lower their score — but nothing is blocked unless they start a Focus Session.

During a Focus Session, the VPN activates network-level blocking on every device simultaneously. It ends when the session ends. No arguments needed.

A score worth
working for.

Set a weekly reward amount. We split it into two parts — a guaranteed floor so they always earn something, and a focus-based portion that rewards the work they put in.

"I was skeptical of apps that just block everything — Mia would find a way around it. HocusFocus is different. She cares about her score because it affects her allowance."

Parent

"I didn't want something that blocked me 24/7 — that felt like being in a cage. This shows me my score and I choose when to do a Focus Session. It's actually fair."

J
Jordan T.
High school student

"Several of my students improved a full letter grade. The Canvas integration means they already know what's due — I spend less time chasing deadlines."
