Our Method

How we measure whether Okee works

Most screen time platforms ask you to take their word for it. We'd rather show our work. This page explains what we track, how we capture outcomes, and what we don't claim.

What we track

Every Okee family generates the same core signals: days active, streak length, weekly check-in completion, and goal attainment against the goals each family sets for itself. We look at these per family, not just in aggregate, because averages hide the families a product is failing.

How outcomes are captured

Each person in the family, parents included, sets their own screen time goal. Progress is self-reported at a weekly family check-in inside the app. Kids never see a parent's numbers and parents hold their own goals to the same standard, which is the point: one scoreboard, everyone on it.

What we don't claim

Okee is in private beta with a small cohort of families. Self-reported outcomes are honest but imperfect, and a small sample is a small sample. We don't make clinical claims, and no independent study has tested Okee yet. What we publish here is what our beta families report, stated plainly.

Our readout cadence

We review cohort data in four-week cycles and update the figures we share publicly after each cycle. When a number on this site changes, this page is why.

Why we built it this way

The independent research is clear on one thing: family screen plans without a mechanism don't stick. In a randomized trial of 1,520 parent-teen pairs, a family media plan alone produced no significant change. The designs that moved family behavior bundled incentives with structure. Okee is that bundle: shared goals, streaks, and rewards families choose together.
