How Prompt fits into family life
Prompt gives parents a practical way to manage their teen’s screen time, and introduces quick, repeatable learning moments as breaks in scrolling. Here’s how it works.
Set it up together
Parents download Prompt and, connect their child’s phone and activate. It’s designed to be quick and simple to set up, and takes under two minutes to download and install.
What you’ll need:
Your iPhone
Your Apple ID and password
Your child’s device (unlocked!)
Choose the routine together
Choose how often you would like to break your teen’s scrolling (1–5 questions every 5–15 minutes). Look through the curriculum together and choose which subjects to focus on. You can update this at any time.
Subjects currently available:
GCSE (ages 14–16): Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, English Literature, French, Spanish, Latin
KS3/Common Entrance (ages 12–14): Science, History, Geography, French, Spanish
Prompt creates the pause and the learning moment
While your teen is using their phone, Prompt interrupts with a quick question on something they’re already learning at school.
It’s a small interruption – but it creates a pause in the scroll. Result? They put the phone down and do something else, or they answer the question and think for a few seconds before continuing. Either way, they stop scrolling.
Questions repeat over time, to help reinforce and support their learning.
Top tip
Talk to your teen about which subjects feel trickiest. They'll know best, and you can point Prompt towards those areas together.
Track progress together
Parents and teens can see progress building up over time – questions answered, and how it all adds up. It's designed to feel like progress, not pressure.
