Fewer screen-time battles. More "look what I learned!"
BrimbleBay is a seaside village of 35 original games. Children earn time on their favorite games by reading, counting and moving. You choose which games are open, earned or hidden, for each child.
Learn it. Earn it. Play it.
Learning and active play are always open. The fast, fun games are the treat, and children earn them with real effort, never with time spent tapping.
- 1
Learn or move
A new word in bloom, a story understood, a math skill mastered, a yoga pose learned.
- 2
Fill the jar
Minutes drop into their own jar. They can pick a goal and see a plan to reach it.
- 3
Play the treat
Rocket Rails, Comet Kitchen and friends, with a gentle two-minute warning before time's up.
You set the rules. For each child.
Everything lives behind your parent passcode, and the defaults are sensible from the first day.
- Open, Earn time or Hidden for every game and every room.
- Daily limits: the most minutes earned, and the most spent, in a day.
- Quiet hours when treat games rest, ending gently if one is running.
- Family time opens every game for everyone for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, free.
- Bonus minutes for chores, a paper book or a kind act.
- A picture password so siblings can't spend each other's minutes.
Three places to explore
Game night for the whole table, a Schoolhouse that's always open, and a Beach that gets everyone off the couch.

22 games
The Schoolhouse
Handwriting, phonics, reading, math, time and money, coding, music, origami and the solar system.
11 ways to learn

Progress that follows each child
Every learning game knows who is playing, so progress follows a child from Letterlight to Sprout & Spell to Abacus Harbor.
A progress page for grown-ups shows what was learned this week, minutes earned and spent, and what's worth practising next. Letterlight prints practice sheets, so the learning goes beyond the screen.
Real, studio-recorded voices read the stories and sound out every letter.
Built for kids. Not for selling to kids.
No ads, ever
No sponsored content, no pop-ups, nothing for children to buy.
It stays at home
No accounts, analytics or tracking. Children's progress stays on your devices.
Works offline
Every game, voice and picture is inside the app. Great for car trips and flights.
Kind by design
No streak guilt, no surprise rewards, no "hurry". A calm "Time's up" and the game is saved.
Try it free. Then one plan for the whole bay.
Four games are free to play with no trial needed: Sprout & Spell, Crown Hop, FourFall and Rocket Rails, so you can see earned time working first.
One family plan opens all 35 games for every child in your household, with monthly and yearly options. Plans are bought and managed by grown-ups only, through Apple, behind the parent passcode.
