Tenara: Calmer Screen Time

Every day ends the same way. You say stop. Your child says five more minutes. You say stop again. They push back. What started as screen time becomes a negotiation, then a standoff, then a ruined mood for everyone in the room. Tenara ends that loop. When session time is up, your child doesn't hear you say stop. They watch a friendly character wave goodbye, hear a soft melody, and see the screen gently close. The session ends by itself. You didn't have to say a word. No standoff. No negotiation. Just a quieter rest of the evening at home. You're still in the room. Still present. Just no longer on duty. — The app ends the session, so you don't have to. — Tenara plays a goodbye sequence when time is up — the screen fades, a character waves, a soft melody plays. Children follow the character instead of resisting the ending. The hard moment happens by itself. Gentle doesn't mean loose. You still set the limit. Tenara just helps the limit happen without a fight. — Distance reminders that don't need you to say anything. — The front camera is used to estimate how close your child is sitting to the screen, in real time. When they're too close, gentle reminders appear gradually until your child moves back. You can record reminders in your own voice, so your child hears you instead of a robotic alert. — Set the boundary once. It enforces itself. — Choose how long before handing over the phone. When time is up, the goodbye sequence plays automatically. The boundary you set happens without you having to hold it in the moment. Tenara is built specifically for children ages 2 to 6 — toddlers and preschoolers learning to transition from screens to other activities. Free tier: 5-minute sessions, 3 times per day. Full closing sequence and distance reminders included at every tier. Paid options unlock sessions up to 30 minutes, adjustable duration, custom voice reminders recorded by you, and character selection.

Privacy: The front camera is used only to estimate distance in real time. Distance detection happens on the device. Tenara doesn't save photos or videos. Tenara doesn't ask for an account and doesn't sell data to third parties. Perfect is a myth. Caring is real.
