Pacifier: Safe to Hand Over

You unlock your phone, open one app, and hand it to a small, curious person. Then you watch — because one swipe lands them in your messages, one tap sends a half-written email, and a long press deletes the album from the trip. Pacifier is the calm version. Set it up once, and every hand-off after that takes three seconds. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a profile. Each child gets their own allowed apps, session length and battery floor. • Hold to seal. Everything except the allowed apps goes behind a shield enforced by iOS. • Hand it over. When the time is up, a gentle wind-down ends the session. Your PIN unseals it. Because the shield is enforced by iOS itself, it holds even if the app is force-quit. BUILT FOR PARENTS, NOT ADVERTISERS • No account, ever. No email, no sign-up. • Fully offline. No cloud, no servers, nothing to sync. It works the same in airplane mode. • Pacifier never reads who you text, what you browse, or your Screen Time reports. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO We would rather say this up front than have you discover it later. • Super Safe Mode uses Apple's Guided Access, which you start yourself. Pacifier explains it step by step, but no app can switch it on for you on a normal device. • No app can force notification previews to hide. We walk you through the setting instead of pretending it is automatic. • An older child who knows your PIN can end a session. The PIN is the lock — pick one they will not guess. PRICING Start with 30 free hand-offs. No card, no account. After that, choose a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, whichever suits you. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.5. Includes an Apple Watch companion that mirrors the countdown on your wrist. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
