The SimpleSentinel app

The SimpleSentinel app is a parental control app for iPhone and iPad that puts every rule in one place on your own phone and closes the doors children use to get around them.

Pause a child's phone in one tap, from anywhere; calls keep working. Set as many downtime windows as you need on a clock that is locked. Lock the phone until chores are checked off. Reach them in an emergency through Silent mode. One price for every child and every device, billed by Apple with a 7-day trial.

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

The SimpleSentinel app, in one page

What it does

Pause their phone with one tap: a Downtime pause keeps their usual allowances, a Full pause closes everything, and Resume brings it back just as fast. Multiple named downtime windows per child, each on the days you pick, with a heads-up chime. Scheduled chores that can keep the phone in downtime or locked until they are done. A No Ignore message that covers their screen until they press Acknowledge. An emergency alarm that sounds through Silent mode, both directions. Web filtering with your own allow and block lists. Kid Mode for your own iPhone. One iPad shared by several children, each with their own code. A sitter page that works on any phone. A daily summary of what happened and who changed what.

What it never does

SimpleSentinel never reads what your child types, watches or browses, and does not track location. Our servers hold your family's rules and requests, never the contents of a device. No ads. No data sold. It runs on Apple's own Screen Time framework, so Screen Time, Ask to Buy, Find My and content ratings keep working underneath it.

What it costs

One plan with every feature, unlimited children and unlimited devices, monthly or yearly, billed by Apple to your Apple ID with a 7-day trial first. The Founding Family price for the first 1,000 families is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year and never goes up as long as you stay subscribed. Cancel in your Apple subscriptions like any other app. There are no promo codes; the price is set in the App Store.
