Screenable makes any iPhone or iPad kid-ready. The app is designed with simple modes to lock down devices for each stage as kids grow, from shared iPads to a kid’s first phone. Research-backed and family-tested, Screenable’s modern parental controls make it easy for parents to follow all major screen time advisories, such as from the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr Becky (Good Inside), and Jonathan Haidt (The Anxious Generation). ▶ Feature highlight: DUMB PHONE mode ◀ The anti-smartphone. Convert any iPhone into a classic “flip phone” with nothing more than Phone, FaceTime, Messages, location sharing, and any other apps you choose. A great alternative to an Apple Watch. ▶ Feature highlight: SCREEN TRAINER mode ◀ The new, collaborative approach to parental controls that helps build kids’ self-control. Best for kids starting the transition to independent use of an iPhone or iPad (usually ages 9-14, but you know your kids best!). ▶ Feature highlight: ONE-TAP FOCUS ◀ With a tap, remove the App Store, the camera, Safari, or any other internet browsers from your kids’ devices. Take away distractions until kids are ready for them. ▶ Feature highlight: GUIDED SETUP ◀ Get guidance and parental advice at every step. Read best practices and learn what’s worked for other families so that you feel confident things are set up just right. HOW IT WORKS ▶ 1. Create an account. ◆ Install the parent app, and set up your family profile. ▶ 2. Sync kids’ devices. ◆ Install the kid app on each kid's iPhone or iPad (2014+). ▶ 3. Choose a mode. ◆ Instantly convert each to a Dumb Phone or Screen Trainer (Media Player and Social Trainer coming soon). ▶ 4. Stay in the know. ◆ Get notifications and reports. Update settings remotely. WHY SCREENABLE ◆ No new devices or data plans required. ◆ Don’t get a new Apple Watch or phone – just add Screenable to any ol’ iPhone or iPad. Whether on WiFi only or added to your existing family plan, setup is easy peasy. ◆ All things Apple, for you and the kids. ◆ Use FaceTime, message them with blue bubbles, and see their location in Find My. Share family services like iCloud storage or Apple Music. You and the kids stay within Apple. ◆ Dummy-proof and one-tap easy. ◆ In just a tap, fully convert a device to a dumb phone, media player, and more. Fully guided setup, easy to change as kids grow. Fantastic customer service if things go sideways. ◆ Pro tip... ◆ Screenable is built on the same technology as Apple’s Screen Time, but without the annoyances & instability – and instead providing a bunch of new and easier-to-use features! :) ONE-FOR-ONE SUBSCRIPTIONS Screenable is proudly a one-for-one subscription service.
