THE PROBLEM

Screen time isn't the enemy. Mindless screen time is.

Indian children spend an average of 3+ hours daily on phones. Parents feel guilty saying "no." Kids feel punished. Nobody wins. Traditional parental controls treat screen time like a bad habit to block — but blocking creates conflict. Viksepa transforms screen time into something earned, not taken.

"My son actually started asking for more 'math puzzles' before he plays his games. He's so proud of his 10-day streak!"

— Priya S., Mumbai

The 'No Punishment' Model

We don't block apps — we ask for a moment of learning first. This reframes screen time from "something I sneak" to "something I earned." The psychology is simple: earning feels better than losing.

Our Story

Built by parents, for parents.

We believe that every child's growth is a unique journey, and every parent deserves a companion who understands the nuance of that path.

From Pune with Purpose

Viksepa started at a dinner table in Pune. A father told his son to put down the phone. The son said "but I just started watching." The father felt guilty. The son felt punished. Both were right. Both were wrong.

That moment sparked a question: What if screen time wasn't something you lost, but something you earned? What if, instead of another parental control app that treats children like threats to be contained, we built something that treats them like minds to be developed?

Two years, hundreds of family interviews, and thousands of lines of code later, Viksepa was born. The name comes from the Sanskrit 'vikshepa' — meaning projection or distraction. We kept the root and changed the meaning: from mindless distraction to mindful engagement.

FAQ

You ask. We answer.

Everything you need to know about Viksepa's approach to transforming screen time into earned time.

We don't block. We replace. Instead of saying "no" to screen time, we say "earn it first" — which eliminates the conflict entirely. Traditional parental controls create a cop-and-robber dynamic. Viksepa creates a coach-and-player relationship.

Math (arithmetic, logic puzzles), Logic (pattern recognition, sequences), Camera (take a photo of something specific — great for younger kids), Voice (speak an answer — perfect for language learning). Challenges adapt to your child's age and skill level automatically.

No. Viksepa runs as a device-level overlay using Android's Accessibility Service. The challenge must be completed or a parent unlock code entered. The back button, home button, and notification shade are all disabled during challenges.

Absolutely. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use Firebase with servers in India (asia-south1). No data is shared with third parties. No advertising SDKs. Parents control all data access and can request full data deletion at any time.

Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above — that covers 95%+ of active Indian devices. iOS version available for iPhone and iPad (iOS 15+). Both apps are under 30 MB.

Emergency calling to any number always works — even when a challenge is active. Parents can also grant instant "Emergency Unlock" from the Guardian dashboard. The child can tap "Ask Parent" on any challenge screen to send an immediate request.

Yes. The Family plan includes a School Dashboard for teachers and counselors. Monitor classroom-wide digital wellness, identify at-risk students, and generate CBSE-compliant digital wellness reports. Contact schools@viksepa.com for bulk pricing.

Yes. In Guardian mode, you set per-app rules. Mark educational apps (BYJU'S, Khan Academy) as "always allow." Mark social media and games as "require challenge." You can also set time-based rules — e.g., no challenges during study hours.
