Parentalapp

Parentalapp is the screen time app that actually holds. Most parental controls are easy for kids to bypass — delete the app, change the clock, sign out of iCloud, and the limits vanish. Parentalapp is built to resist exactly that. It runs on Apple's Screen Time framework at the system level and closes the common escape routes, so the rules you set stay in place. HOW IT WORKS Install Parentalapp on your phone and your child's phone, pair them once, and manage everything from your device. • Downtime schedules — block apps at bedtime or during school, set per weekday • Daily limits — cap time on apps and whole categories • Always-allowed — keep essentials like Phone and Messages open at all times • Ask for more time — your child can request extra time; you approve or deny from anywhere • Tamper alerts — if the protection is interfered with, you're notified • Offline detection — know if your child's phone goes dark • Pause instantly — freeze the phone with one tap when you need to BUILT TO HOLD Reliability comes before features in every decision. The block is designed to stay standing even when a child tries to get around it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your family's data never leaves your iCloud. There's no third-party analytics on your child's phone, and no company server collecting usage. We can't see your family's information — because it never reaches us. SUBSCRIPTION Parentalapp Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription with a 7-day free trial.
