The parent half of the app

Same app, other side of a four-digit code: what they have mastered, the one thing they are stuck on, and the settings that decide how the day goes.

Behind four digits

The parent area lives in the same app your child uses, reached by holding the corner and typing a four-digit code you set the first time. Your child’s half has no way into it, no ads, no links out to the web and nothing to buy.

On a bigger screen the same pages are at skillride.app in a browser, which is easier for reading a report and useless for app lock — Apple only lets the apps be chosen on the device itself.

What the report tells you

Four things, and deliberately not twenty.

  • ▤ Progress against the school yearWhich skills are mastered, which are being practised and which one is stuck. Mastered means about 85% right across recent attempts, stuck means under 40%, and nothing is called either before five tries.
  • ! What needs a handThe single skill to do together this week, with the rest left out of your way.
  • ☺ Up to four childrenEach with their own sport, rider, path and report, on one subscription.
  • 🔒 App lockChoose the apps that wait and the minutes that unlock them. It runs on Apple’s Screen Time controls, which need a permission Apple grants by hand: your choices are saved and apply the moment it is approved. iPhone and iPad only.

What we keep, and what we never see

A practice record is the skill, the id of the question template and whether the answer was right. Not the question, not the option your child tapped, not anything they typed. There is no transcript of a child’s thinking in this product, because none is ever stored.

A child is a nickname, an avatar and a school year. No real name is asked for, no email, no sign-in — the account is yours, and deleting it takes the children with it.

The bonus games are not in any report. They are play, they stay in the family, and no teacher you connect can see them.

Set the daily goal, then forget about it.

App lock is optional. The streak and the weekly report work without it.
