Fact sheet
A Montgomery County dad's Screen Time settings would not stay set, his children kept finding ways onto the internet, and the last straw was strangers messaging both of them through the gaps it left open. He read more than 6,700 App Store reviews of the apps parents already use, found none that closed every hole, and built his own. Facts, bio and quotable findings are linked here.
Pause a child's phone in one tap. Downtime on a clock the child can't change. Tasks that lock the phone until they are done. Messages that stay until acknowledged. An emergency alarm through Silent mode, both directions. A sitter page for grandparents. Kid Mode. One price for every child and every device. It never reads messages and does not track location.
