What's New in Rulely

3.2.1

October 15, 2026

• A clearer start: choose “I’m the parent,” “A child’s phone,” or “Limiting myself.” • Connecting your child’s phone is easier, even if you don’t have the code yet. • Sign in with Apple, everywhere you sign in. • Step away during setup and pick up right where you left off. Your rules are saved. • See what actually happened in your family’s week, night by night. • Self mode: change your managed apps without signing in again. • More reliable Screen Time status, with no false “Rulely is off” alerts. • Nights, reminders and your weekly summary now follow your real time zone. • Smaller fixes and improvements.

Ok

I wish I knew if this app was good. It was too hard to set up and took a long time. We ended up getting annoyed and deleting the app.

Response from developer

Sophie, you’re right. Setup is too long and too fiddly, and you shouldn’t have had to fight it to find out if the app was any good. The step that trips people up is Apple’s Screen Time permission on the child’s device. I’m rebuilding that flow for the next version(2.4.0) fewer steps, and it actually tells you when something didn’t go through. If you want to try again, email me at mahamane@rulely.app and I’ll walk you through it myself. Thanks for the feedback

FAQ

How does Rulely help with bedtime arguments?

Rulely automates screen time limits and bedtime schedules, so the app enforces the rules instead of the parent. This reduces nightly negotiations and conflicts by providing a consistent, pre-determined limit.

Can my child request extra time with Rulely?

Yes, children can request extra time through the app. This feature allows them to ask for extensions in a structured way, rather than negotiating directly with parents at bedtime.

Does Rulely monitor my child's activity?

No, Rulely is not a monitoring app. It does not read messages, track location, or provide activity reports. Its focus is solely on enforcing pre-set screen time and bedtime rules.

How does Rulely enforce screen time limits?

Rulely utilizes Apple's Family Controls framework for system-level enforcement. This means the limits are applied by the operating system and cannot be easily bypassed by the child.
