What matters most.
-
Kids earn their screen time
BEAM turns chores, reading, sports and learning into points — and your child turns them into screen time.
You set what each activity is worth, and the app locks the device when time runs out.
-
Activities that fit your child just right
Age-appropriate tasks and content. You set each activity's value and how much screen time it earns.
A rich catalog of activities and learning you can adapt to your family — or create your own. Kids can pitch their ideas right from the app.
-
One app, two sides
On the kid's side: activities, tasks, learning — and one especially happy jar that fills up with screen time.
On the parent's side: a control center — real-time screen status, balance, activity log, insights and personalized recommendations for every child. Managing screen time has never been this easy.
-
Easier at home
No more arguing. No more nagging, no more "five more minutes".
Your child plans ahead — do X, earn time for Y. When the day fills up with activities, the screen stops being the enemy. A kid who earned their time gets to truly enjoy it, without the "when does it lock" feeling. More cooperation. More good moments together.

What really matters to us
-
The child at the center
Kids get control, within limits, over their screen time. They choose which tasks to do and when. Parents set the value and how much screen time can be earned.
-
Responsibility and confidence
Your child picks tasks, completes them and sees effort turn into results. Success builds real confidence from the inside. Nothing beats the feeling of "I did it — I can!"
-
Discovering inner superpowers
Personal-growth activities — nature, breathing, creativity and positive thinking. Nurturing a rich inner world through activities that speak to your child's heart.
-
Curiosity and learning
A rich learning model built into the app — math, language, science and more. Micro-learning matches kids' short attention spans, preventing frustration and overload.
It makes learning light and playful and builds confidence through quick, everyday wins. -
Peaceful parenting
The screen stops being a battle. Your child knows they earned this time, and you're out of the cop role. No "when does it lock" feeling, no fights over the device — a calmer home, with more connection and less tension.
-
Contributing to the family
Chores aren't just there to make your life easier. A kid who contributes feels they belong. Housework builds independence, capability and personal responsibility that serve kids well into the future.
Built by parents.
From our family to yours
Like many parents, we found ourselves negotiating screen time over and over again.
Limits alone weren't working — they just fueled arguments. That's not the parenting we wanted. We looked for a way to spark our kids' motivation to grow and enrich their world beyond the screen. That's how BEAM by GlowJar was born — and today we're happy to share it with more families.
Beam /biːm/ a ray of light; to smile with pride
Like a kid's face in a moment of success. That's the light we built BEAM for.
Come on — let's create more real moments.
BEAM is waiting for you.
