## What is Phone Assistant Link?

Phone Assistant Link is the advanced Apple Screen Time bridge for Home Assistant: app groups, daily limits, remote blocking, usage tracking and powerful automations. Fast, private control built around your routines.

Control App Groups
Create groups for social media, entertainment, games, work, bedtime and more. Block or allow them directly from Home Assistant.

Smart Home Automations
Connect app restrictions to your existing Home Assistant entities. Block distracting apps during bedtime, family time or pair with Health Assistant Link and block apps until you reach your health goals each day!

Daily Usage Limits
Set daily limits for each group and expose limit, usage and restriction status to Home Assistant.

Screen Time Insights
Track selected apps and groups inside Phone Assistant Link, with approximate daily usage sent to Home Assistant in privacy-preserving increments.

Temporary Controls
Temporarily allow or block a group from Home Assistant without changing its normal configuration.

Live Activities
Optionally show currently blocked groups on your Lock Screen in one consolidated Live Activity.

Private by Design
Your Apple Screen Time selections and private tokens remain on your iPhone. Home Assistant receives only the names, settings, restriction states and approximate usage required for the entities you configure.

Built for Home Assistant

Phone Assistant Link works with the Life Assistant Bridge custom integration and supports multiple phones, app groups and Screen Time entities.
