About

Curfew Control

Features
Read full description

Manage your kids' TV time from your iPhone. Curfew Control is the free companion to the Curfew Control app on Android TV and Google TV: edit app schedules and daily or weekly time limits, see what's restricted, and approve or deny requests for more time. Pair securely using the QR code or pairing code shown on your TV. Once paired, the app lets an adult household administrator manage TV access without sharing the TV PIN. Features include: • Discover compatible Curfew Control TVs on your local network • Create and edit app schedules, exception dates, and time allowances • Approve or revoke temporary access from your iPhone • Manage multiple TVs around the home • View an optional TV screen preview when enabled on the TV • Protect the phone app with a PIN and Face ID • Choose whether to send optional crash reports Everyday management uses an encrypted direct connection on your home network. Optional approval notifications use a private per-pairing relay so requests can reach your phone while the app is closed; opening the app also checks for missed requests. No Curfew Control username or password is required, and the app contains no advertising or behavioral analytics. Optional crash reporting is off by default. The Curfew Control TV app must be installed separately on a supported Android TV or Google TV device. Your iPhone and TV must be connected to the same routable home network for pairing and direct control. This companion app does not restrict apps on the iPhone itself.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Curfew Control at none against Thinger's 4. Curfew Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). Thinger's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
