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.

Setting up two phones

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.
