Kid mode app for iPhone

SimpleSentinel is the kid mode app for iPhone: turn Kid Mode on and your own iPhone follows your child's rules for as long as it is in their hands.

What you allow for that child stays open, what you don't stays closed, and only your Face ID or passcode turns it off. Hand the phone over in the car, at the restaurant, or in church without handing over everything on it.

One price, unlimited children and devices. 7-day free trial, billed by Apple.

How Kid Mode works, and what still works

✓ Kid Mode

Turn "Kid Mode" on and your own iPhone follows that child's rules: what you allow stays open, what you don't stays closed. Only your Face ID or passcode turns it off.

✓ One device, multiple children

Share one device between children. Each signs in with their own four-digit code and gets their own settings to access what you allow and close what you don't; Web browsing included. Their own chores are there too. Set the device down and it locks itself after a few minutes; wrong-code attempts reach you.

Kid Mode vs Guided Access

Guided Access pins your iPhone to one app. Kid Mode applies that child's whole rule set: the apps you allow stay open, the rest stay closed, their web rules come along, and only your Face ID or passcode ends it. You hand over the phone, not one app.

What still works in Kid Mode

Phone calls keep working. Apple keeps the Phone app reachable no matter what. Kid Mode asks for a passcode on your device and for that child's settings to be finished first (content ratings, web, spending, games and friends). Your Face ID or passcode turns it off; nothing else does.
