Mum, can I play video games?
The conditions are agreed as a family: Okilou checks and unlocks. Never punitive.
Free for one child and one home, forever. No ads, no tracking, no account needed.
Unlocked
30 min, or an activity of their choice
Agreed in advance, never renegotiated.
How it works
To validate
Nino checked offAnd it unlocks what was agreed
Or automatically, for the routines you trust.
There is no balance in the app: points open a tier, they are never spent, and nothing can take them away.
Slip-up noted on Tuesday
One word too many
You talk it over. Nino holds the key to putting it right.
What gets unlocked is up to you: an extra story, an outing, pizza night, thirty minutes of screen time.

You accept with one tap and it joins the menu. The template for ages 3 to 5 has no screen time at all.
Week A/B, 2-2-5-5, weekends, one-off swaps: each home keeps its rules and its peace of mind, and the child keeps a single journey.
Nothing to check off, nothing crosses over. Each home keeps its peace, and one subscription covers both.

For life, no card needed
Because sometimes it works. An answer that varies rewards persistence: psychologists call it intermittent reinforcement. What pays off now and then is more motivating than what pays off every time. It's how slot machines work. And the tired Friday-night “fine, go ahead”? That's a jackpot.
So they try again. At the right moment, with the parent most likely to say yes, in the tone that works. Your child isn't being difficult: they're being logical. And you don't have an authority problem: you have a rulebook that lives in your head, at the mercy of your energy, whether it's 10 am on a Saturday, a school night, midweek, or the middle of the holidays.
Okilou gives the rule a place to live, outside your head. Agreed as a family, calmly, posted where everyone can see it, like a chart on the fridge. Except this one checks, keeps track, and gives the same answer at any hour, with either parent. Your child can even answer themselves: their progress is right there on their screen. They don't stop asking because they lost. They stop because they know.
But aren't Okilou's points and tiers the same mechanism? No: it is the exact opposite of the slot machine. Everything is written in advance, and the same action opens the same thing, every time. Points are never spent; they open tiers: nothing is spent, nothing is taken away, and a rule change waits until tomorrow morning. Doing more opens more, but the deal is never up for negotiation, not with the child and not with a tired Friday evening.
We agreed. Okilou remembers.
No. Okilou runs entirely on your phone. The optional account only exists to sync with a second parent or the child's own device.
A child's declaration stays "pending" until a parent validates it. You can also switch trusted routines to automatic validation.
Never. No negative points, no debt: a slip-up can be repaired, and what's earned stays earned.
