Levely
✓ Actually works on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation

No more fighting over screen time.

Your kids earn gaming time by learning. When the minutes run out, the Switch, the PS5 and the TV lock themselves — no pulled plugs, no lost saves. You only show up to celebrate.

How it works

In 4 steps, your network becomes the house rule.

1

Your kid does a short lesson

3 to 5 minutes. English, math. Translate, drag, listen, type. They earn XP.

2

XP converts to playtime minutes

You decide how many XP = one minute. Daily cap and allowed hours, configurable per kid.

3

The network auto-unlocks

Roblox, Fortnite, YouTube, TikTok — whatever you chose to block. Instant change, no waiting.

4

When minutes expire, it all re-locks

No arguments, no manual reminders. The Switch just stops connecting to the game servers. Done.

✨ AI included

When they get it wrong, Levi explains it

Every time your kid misses an exercise, a 💡 Why? button pings an AI tutor that explains in one short sentence, in their language, WHY the correct answer is correct. No scolding, no lectures.

Every week, on your parent dashboard, you get a real progress summary per kid — what's improving, what's struggling, and one concrete thing to focus on next. Powered by GPT, tuned pedagogically.

I is a student
Levi explainsIn English, 'I' pairs with 'am', not 'is'. The correct form is: I am a student.

📖 Reading Mode · Premium

Every story unique. Every choice, theirs.

Your kid picks a world (forest, sea, city, beach) and a protagonist. AI writes the story and draws the illustrations live — 9 pages with choices that change the plot. No kid ever reads the same story twice.

And they earn more than minutes: every other page drops a reading-comprehension question. Getting it right adds extra minutes to the bank. Reading isn't homework, it's the most fun way to earn screen time.

What makes Levely different

Works on every screen in the house

Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Smart TVs, tablets and phones. Network-level blocking — services can't connect, devices stay on.

Bilingual from day one

UI and content in Spanish and English. No robotic translations.

Feels like Duolingo

Short lessons, daily streak, a mascot. Kids come back out of habit, not punishment.

Cooperative mode for siblings

The family Switch unlocks ONLY when all 3 siblings finish their lesson. Natural peer pressure, no yelling.

Real control for parents

Earned minutes go into a bank — your kid decides when to spend them. The timer auto-pauses when there's no game traffic. XP→minutes ratio, daily cap, per-kid reports in your dashboard.

🛡️

Safe internet with zero setup

Forced Safe Search on Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo, YouTube Restricted Mode, and VPN / proxy / Tor blocks. All on from day one — your kid can't route around it, and you don't touch a technical setting.

Who is Levely for?

Families with kids 6 to 14

The sweet spot: they can read, play online, and meltdown when the screen goes off. This is where you regain control.

Parents tired of being cops

No more daily yelling. The network enforces the rules, not you. You just show up to approve or celebrate.

Households with multiple kids

Individual profiles for each, plus cooperative mode for shared consoles. Siblings push each other.

Bilingual families

Levely speaks both languages. Your kid practices real English while earning the time they care about.

Frequently asked

Do I need to buy a new router?+

Nope. Use the router you have. Levely runs on top of NextDNS — a DNS service anyone can configure on a normal router (or per-device if you want per-kid granularity). We give you the exact IDs and step-by-step instructions by model.

What if my kid changes the DNS on the Switch?+

A tech-savvy kid could try. That's why we walk you through enabling the console's parental PIN during onboarding. In V2 we'll detect the change from router logs.

What data do you collect about my kid?+

Display name, avatar, XP, exercises done, time earned/used. No location, contacts, camera, microphone. We don't sell to anyone. You can delete everything from your dashboard.

What ages is this for?+

6 to 14. Under 6 may be too text-heavy. Over 14, traditional parental controls already respect teen autonomy — our reward model works less.

Does it work on an iPhone/iPad?+

Yes. iOS has 'Private DNS' in Settings → Wi-Fi → Configure DNS. Paste the profile ID and you're done. We include the step-by-step inside the app.

Can I cancel whenever?+

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard in 2 clicks. Your data and your kids' data is deleted after 30 days by default, or immediately on request.

What is Reading Mode?+

An interactive adventure where your kid picks a world and a character. AI (GPT + image generation) writes the story live and every 3 pages there's a choice that branches the plot. In between, short comprehension questions add bonus minutes for correct answers. 9 pages per session, ~6-10 minutes of reading.

How do you stop my kid from using a VPN to dodge filters?+

Bypass-method blocking is on by default on every profile. NextDNS detects and drops commercial VPNs, proxies, Tor, and encrypted DNS providers. Plus Safe Search on Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo and YouTube Restricted Mode — your kid can't see explicit content and can't route around the system, without you tweaking any settings.

How do you know my kid is actually playing vs. just having the console on?+

The timer auto-pauses when there's no DNS traffic on the unlocked services. If they pause the game and walk off to eat, the clock doesn't keep ticking down — they lose 0 minutes. When they're back, the timer resumes. Real-time detection, zero action from the kid.
