## What is Kid Defense?

Kid Defense is a one-tap iPhone lockdown for parents who've had enough.

Hand your kid the phone. One tap from your wrist or the app locks it into an age-appropriate mode. They can't get out without your PIN or Face ID. No Screen Time workarounds. No setup hell. No drama.

All features require an active Peasant subscription ($0.99/month), available via in-app purchase.

FIVE LOCKDOWN PRESETS - LOOSENING AS THEY GROW
Toddler (Ages 0-4) - Total brick. Only apps you approve get through.
Young Child (Ages 5-9) - Approved apps only. Everything else blocked.
Pre-teen (Ages 10-11) - Block what matters most. Tightest teen preset.
Tween (Ages 12-13) - Middle ground. Social media and risky apps blocked.
Teen (Ages 14-16) - Lightest touch. Block only what you pick.

APPLE WATCH CONTROLS
Lock from your wrist in any mode. Add time. Hit Death to brick the phone completely. Unlock when they've earned it.

DEATH MODE
When time's up, the phone goes total brick. No apps. No nothing. Only your PIN or Face ID brings it back. "Time out didn't work for you. Death upon thee."

PIN + FACE ID PROTECTION
4-digit PIN stored with military-grade encryption. Face ID unlock for parents only. Kids don't get in. Period.

WHAT APPLE WON'T LET ANYONE BLOCK
Phone, Messages, and Settings are permanently exempted by Apple - no parental control app on iOS can touch them. We tell you this upfront. Everyone else buries it.

PEASANT TIER - $0.99/month
Full lockdown. All five presets. Watch controls. App Locker. Death mode. PIN + Face ID. Everything you need to reclaim your phone.
