With just a tap, you can Lock the Device or Pause Restrictions, ensuring that you're always in control and your child's online safety is just a touch away.

Yay! This is an update for iOS 16 with incredible new features! 1. You can now see the child’s screen time status right on your Lock Screen with new widgets. 2. New App Shortcuts let you block or allow the apps & sites without opening Grace. 3. All restrictions are now shared across devices so that you don’t need to configure a child’s iPhone and iPad individually. LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS ⁃ See whether the child reached today’s screen time limit ⁃ See upcoming schedules ⁃ See whether the restrictions are paused for the child ⁃ See whether the child’s device is locked All of this information is beautifully packed into one rectangular widget. APP SHORTCUTS & SIRI ⁃ Control the child’s device with voice through Siri ⁃ Lock the child’s device in one tap without opening Grace ⁃ Pause all restrictions in one tap without opening Grace ⁃ Automate your workflow: combine shortcuts and enhance the experience SHARED ACROSS DEVICES ⁃ Set up restrictions one time and easily sync them to other child’s devices ⁃ Share the app and site usage across devices ⁃ The screen time usage is now summed across all child’s devices Please enable Screen Time in the Settings app and turn on “Share Across Devices” on all child devices for the feature to work. All these features (Lock Screen widgets, Shortcuts, and Shared across devices) are game changers for parents’ productivity and child’s mental health. What else is new: - Improved the error messages, so you can understand how to set up Grace properly. - Improved the screenshots We hope you enjoy the app. Please support us by rating or leaving a review.

September 6, 2022

We are excited to announce that all restrictions will now be automatically shared across all child’s devices. For example, let’s say child Jane has two devices: an iPhone and iPad. If you create a restriction that blocks games, then games will be disallowed on Jane’s both iPhone and iPad. No need to set parental controls individually for each device anymore. Device usage time is also shared across devices. So if you limit Instagram to 1 hour per day, then Instagram will be blocked even when Jane uses Instagram for 30 minutes on her iPhone and 30 minutes on her iPad. The total usage will be summed up to 1 hour, so Instagram gets restricted until tomorrow. Note 1: for device usage to be shared across devices, you need to enable Screen Time in the Settings app and turn on “Share Across Devices” on all child devices. Note 2: it can take some time for individual apps to get restricted on all devices. In the example above, when Instagram gets blocked on Jane’s iPhone, it can take some time for iOS to sync the used time between devices. This means that on the iPad, Instagram will be blocked a bit later, not in realtime. We’ll try to create a workaround on our end in the future to make it realtime.

Reviews of Parental Control App

  • Seems Good

    Seems good at first. Support doesn’t respond at all, so the app is not worth buying in my opinion.

    It’s limited by what Apple provides in the Screen Time API, which I have found sparse and buggy at times.

    This app is an improvement on Apple Screen Time alone, but combined with zero support maybe not enough to justify purchase. If it was super helpful and had support I may consider buying Lifetime subscription.
  • Strong potential

    Out of all the apps I have tried , this one seems to have the strongest potential to fit with our family. I’ve been looking for an app that improves on and uses apples api. I found another recently that uses it for setup but not for anything else which didn’t work for us. This one seems to have all the features and simplicity I’m looking for while being built off Apple api. My only issue is the lack of app picker on the parent device and the developers lack of response. I’m concerned this is a dead app as it has not been updated in 6 mos and the developer won’t respond. If the app gets more support, I will probably be back. For now we are going back to apples solution.
  • Great Potential, But Hit and Miss Functionally

    We have a lot of devices among three teenagers and I've tried many of these kinds of apps. This one shows the greatest potential but it's unreliable when it comes to seeing newly installed apps or even apps that have been present for a long time. At times some apps just show as API connections in the websites list. Support has been hit or miss with early on support being very responsive but in recent times less so. This can be frustrating as a paying user. Bottom line - use this if you have the patience to tinker, restart, remove, if restrictions aren't super critical, and you have a backup means of administrating devices for kids. At first the developer was responsive but now after attempting three times for different issues I’m afraid we’ll be going back to Ourpact.

    Developer Response

    Please note The App Picker (a screen where you select apps) is provided by Apple, iOS itself. We’ve seen that sometimes a freshly updated or restored device needs some time to register all apps correctly in the App Picker. This is an iOS-level issue. The apps show up after a few hours. Please try to create the limits after some time. Since the App Picker is under Apple’s control, this issue can be fixed only with iOS updates. We recommend always running the latest iOS version on all your devices. For more information and guidance, please contact us at support@grace-app.com
