## What is KidWall?

KidWall puts you in charge of your kids' iPhones and iPads — from your own phone.

Built on Apple's Screen Time technology, KidWall runs on your child's device, is approved with your Apple Account so it can't simply be deleted, and lets you manage everything remotely.

FROM YOUR PHONE
• See every kid's device at a glance: normal, paused, bedtime or limit reached
• Pause all apps instantly — for dinner, homework or bedtime
• Give extra time with one tap when your kid asks
• Change daily time limits, bedtime hours and web filters remotely
• Get alerts when a limit is reached, bedtime starts, or your kid tries to open something blocked
• See your kid's device on a map (when you turn location on)
• Get an alert when your kid arrives at or leaves places you set, like home or school

ON YOUR KID'S DEVICE
• Block apps and whole categories 24/7 — social media, games, anything you choose
• A daily time budget with a warning before time runs out
• Bedtime: everything off except the apps you allow
• Web filter blocks adult sites and social/chat websites, and hides other browsers so it can't be bypassed
• Prevents deleting apps, in-app purchases, explicit content and passcode or account changes
• An "Ask for more time" button sends the request straight to you

BOTH PARENTS
Add a second parent phone with the same family code — you both see the same kids and get the same alerts.

EASY SETUP
Scan a QR code on your phone to pair each kid's device. Your child needs an Apple Account in your Family Sharing group.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything your devices share is encrypted with your family's pairing code before it leaves the phone. We can't read it, and neither can anyone without your code. No ads, no tracking, no reading messages.

KIDWALL PREMIUM
Remote control, alerts, location, place alerts and multi-parent control require KidWall Premium. Try it free for 7 days, then choose monthly or yearly. One subscription covers your Family Sharing group. Without Premium, kids' devices keep enforcing their current rules.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at the end of the free trial unless you cancel. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › your name › Subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Made by a parent, for parents!

*2026-10-03*

I’m so proud of my husband for creating KidWall. He took his knowledge, skills, and experience and built an app that solves a problem we actually deal with as parents. Being able to manage our kids’ screen time, pause apps, set limits and make changes right from our own phones is so convenient. I’ve watched how much time and thought he has put into making KidWall useful, simple, and safe for families. I’m excited to see other parents using something he worked so hard to create!

## Frequently asked questions about KidWall

### What is KidWall?

KidWall is a parental control app that allows parents to manage their children's iPhone and iPad usage remotely. It leverages Apple's Screen Time technology to enforce rules and provide insights into device activity.

### How does KidWall work?

KidWall is installed on the child's device and linked to the parent's account via Apple's Family Sharing. Parents can then control settings like app access, time limits, and web filters from their own phone.

### What are the benefits of KidWall Premium?

### Can I cancel my KidWall Premium subscription?

### Is KidWall suitable for young children?

KidWall has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for managing screen time for young children. It helps parents set appropriate boundaries for app usage and web access.

### How often is KidWall updated?

KidWall was last updated on October 8, 2026, with version 1.1. This indicates regular maintenance and potential feature enhancements.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-08

New: Places
• Add places like Home, School or Grandma's and get an alert when your kid arrives or leaves. Set the spot on a map, search an address, use your kid's location, or tap "Use my location" where you're standing.
• Place alerts need KidWall 1.1 on your kid's device, with location set to Always and Precise Location on.

Also in this update:
• Unpairing a kid's device now turns off location sharing, and your kid's home screen shows when their location is shared.
• Too many wrong parent PINs on a kid's device now means a wait before the next try.
• Changes from your phone stick more reliably on your kid's device, even when several things happen at once.
• The new KidWall logo.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-07

Bug fixes:
• Saving changes in Edit rules no longer turns off a pause. Pause and resume now live on your kid's page (Pause all apps now / Resume apps).
• More reliable remote control: KidWall now tells you if a save or a device removal didn't go through, and two parents editing the same rules at once no longer overwrite each other.
• Update KidWall on your kid's device too. If "Block installing apps" is on for that device, turn it off until the update installs.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-04

Bug fixes:
• "Tried to open a blocked app" alerts now reach your phone when you use only the KidWall parent app (no ntfy or webhook set up).
• Changes to bedtime and daily limits now always take effect on your kid's device, even if it was offline or busy when you made them.
• A pause sent from your phone now stays on when your kid opens KidWall.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-01

No release notes.
