Control your kids screen time and build healthy digital habits early on!
Screen Squirrel helps parents navigate the challenges of raising children in a digital world. We provide the tools you need to set boundaries, encourage healthy habits, and ensure that your child’s screen time is productive and positive. Take control of your child’s digital life—securely, privately, and effectively—with Screen Squirrel.
How It Works
Screen Squirrel consists of two apps—one for parents and one for children. The parent app, installed on your device, seamlessly connects to your child’s app on their device. This setup allows you to manage and monitor screen time, set limits, and receive real-time alerts directly from your phone, while your child’s app implements these controls on their device.
Build Healthy Habits Early
Screen Squirrel is designed for proactive parents who want to establish healthy screen time habits from the start. We provide tools that allow you to manage your child’s screen time without intruding on their privacy. By helping your child learn how to balance their digital and offline lives early, you’ll avoid the inevitable conflicts that come with unregulated screen use as they grow older.
Privacy-First Approach
We’re committed to protecting your family’s privacy. Unlike other apps that rely on invasive VPN or MDM technology, Screen Squirrel works directly with Apple’s secure systems to ensure your child’s data remains private. In fact, our privacy standards are so robust that not even we can access your child’s data—only you, their verified parent, have that control.
Key Features:
- Customisable Screen Time Limits: Set daily and weekly screen time limits that fit your family’s schedule.
- Real-Time Alerts for you and your child: Receive instant notifications about your child’s screen time activity, helping you stay informed without constantly checking. We'll let your kids know when their time is nearly up, so you don't have to.
- Screen-Free Scheduling: Encourage regular breaks from screens with customizable schedules such as meals, homework, and bedtime.
- Instant Pause: Instantly pause your child’s screen time with a tap, giving you control when it’s needed most.
- Reports & Trends: View detailed reports on your child’s screen time usage, helping you monitor their habits over time.
