About

Power to the parents. Parental controls can be confusing to set up, hard to keep up with, and easy for a child to get around. SimpleSentinel™ puts every rule in one place on your iPhone, closes the doors children use to get around them, and adds the things parents actually asked for. ONE TAP, FROM YOUR PHONE • Pause a child's phone right now. It lands in seconds, even mid-game. Phone calls always work. • Send a No Ignore message that covers their screen until they press Acknowledge. You get a receipt. • Reach them in an emergency with an alarm that sounds through Silent mode. RULES THEY CAN'T GET AROUND • As many downtime windows as you need: school hours and bedtime both, each on the days you pick. • The clock is locked. No ending downtime early by changing the time. • Web filtering with your own allow and block lists, and the Siri back door closed. • Deleting an app asks you first. CHORES AND MORNINGS • Scheduled chores that can lock the phone until they are done. • Alarms you set from your phone that ring through Silent mode. (Needs iOS 26 on the child's device.) FOR REAL FAMILIES • Kid Mode: hand a child your own phone and it follows that child's rules until your Face ID or passcode turns it off. No child device needed. • One iPad, several children: each signs in with a private code and gets their own rules. • A sitter helps from any phone with a personal link, no app. You decide what they can do. • A daily summary of who changed what, in your time zone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN SimpleSentinel never reads what your child types, watches or browses, and it does not track location. Our servers hold your family's rules and requests, never the contents of a device. No ads. No data sold. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Built on Apple's own Screen Time framework, so Screen Time, Ask to Buy and Find My keep working. Setup is done on the phones: no computer, no cable, no reset. Nothing on your child's phone is erased. ONE PRICE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY One plan includes everything, for every child and every device. Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. You need an iPhone. Each child needs an iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or later, or use Kid Mode on your own phone.

What's New in SimpleSentinel

1.0.3

October 27, 2026

Tasks a family does together: pick Together when a task is for more than one child, and each child's list says who they do it with. The Manage tab has a Websites card: add or remove the sites a child may visit without digging into settings. Child alarms are set with one button, so a phone never arms a half-finished alarm, and the parent's notice says which ring was answered. The app icon shows a number only when a message or a request is waiting for you. A cancelled group alert names who it was cancelled for. Plus clearer task and alarm editors, a Close button on Auto-lock until the one-time step is done, and smaller fixes.
