Grown-ups
Family account
Grown-ups lock
This lock keeps kids out of Grown-ups, switching kids and getting prizes. A PIN or pattern follows your family to every iPad when you use a family account.
Kids
Each kid gets their own stars, levels, screen time and water count. The rules below apply to everyone. Switching kids needs the Grown-ups lock, so nobody borrows a sibling's minutes.
Pick the grade that matches the work your kid does. It sets where new games start, and each game adjusts on its own after that. Spelling Bee, Clock Check and Coin Count are made for Grade 1 and up, so they may be hard for JK and SK.
Accessibility
Settings for each kid, including how many questions are in a round. They follow the kid to every device when you use a family account.
Games
Money
Coin Count uses this country's coins and bills (bills from level 8). This applies to every kid.

Earn your screen time
Kids earn a star for each right answer and for each break. They spend stars on screen time in their own Star Shop (set the price for each kid under Star Shop below). Free minutes and bought minutes reset at midnight.

Star Shop
Each kid has their own shop. Screen time is in every shop to start, and kids can buy it themselves, up to the most screen time in one day. Other prizes need the Grown-ups lock when they are bought. Spending stars never takes away screen time already bought.

Privacy
Starbit has no ads and no tracking. Without a family account, progress stays only on this iPad. With one, it is backed up so only your signed-in account can read it. Kids never sign in, and Starbit stores only their nickname, colour, game progress and settings: no birthdays, photos or voice.
Share anonymous learning insights
Sends daily totals, like how many level 5 subtraction questions were answered right on the first try. No names, no account, no device ID. It helps make questions fairer for every kid.
Setting it up on the iPad
- Open it in Safari: go to Starbit's web address on the iPad. Videos and sign-in need an internet connection; the games work offline too.
- Make it feel like an app: in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Stop them leaving: turn on Guided Access (Settings, Accessibility, Guided Access), open the app, and triple-click the side button. They can't switch to the YouTube app until you unlock it.
- Netflix: Netflix doesn't let other apps pause its player, so the timer works best when the show is on the TV and the iPad sits beside it. If they watch Netflix on the iPad itself, iPadOS pauses this page in the background, so add a daily limit with Screen Time, App Limits, Netflix as a backstop.
- Rule that makes it work: when the chime goes, the show gets paused until the break screen is finished. Breaks earn a gold star, so it feels like a reward.
