L2P is a parental control app for iPhone and iPad. Your child earns time for games and entertainment by using learning apps you choose. You set the rules. When earned time runs out, the selected play apps are restricted again.
For iPhone and iPad · iOS/iPadOS 17.6 or later
Parent setup comes first: choose the learning apps, play apps and how learning time earns play time.
Your child uses a learning app you’ve chosen.
Time in that app earns play minutes under your rule.
Selected play apps unlock when play time is available.
Using those play apps spends the shared play-time balance.
At zero, L2P restricts the selected play apps again — not the whole device.

No. L2P works with apps already installed on your child’s device. You choose them there with parent access: learning apps earn time, and play apps use it. Individual websites are not supported by the current rules. See how to choose apps.
L2P counts time spent in your approved Learning Apps. It does not check answers, measure understanding or verify completed homework.
